Format Resumes for Vincere ATS Clients

When you submit candidate resumes to clients using Vincere, the system immediately runs automated CV parsing to transform uploaded files into structured Candidate records. This parsing extracts key information like contact details, work history, and skills into searchable database fields. However, the parsing accuracy depends heavily on consistent formatting and clean document structure. Poorly formatted resumes may have missing data fields, incorrect parsing of dates and job titles, or incomplete contact information that requires manual correction by your client.

Vincere accepts multiple file formats for candidate submissions, but performance varies significantly. For bulk submissions over 100 files, ZIP format is required. Individual submissions can use DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, RTF, TXT, or PDF formats. While PDF maintains visual formatting, it can cause parsing issues with complex layouts. DOCX files generally provide the best balance of formatting preservation and parsing accuracy. When submitting large candidate batches, ensure all files are in supported formats to avoid processing delays.

Common rejection issues include missing email addresses that trigger manual processing requirements, duplicate candidates that get automatically skipped, and inconsistent formatting that reduces parsing accuracy. Browser and upload problems can also cause rejections - Vincere recommends using Google Chrome in Incognito mode and clearing cache for upload issues. File format problems and permissions issues can also prevent successful submissions. Understanding these failure points helps agencies prepare submissions that process smoothly and maintain client satisfaction.
