Excellent parser created by an excellent team

Pros

  • High accuracy compared to the other vendors.
  • Able to handle complex document formats.
  • Affinda team is very responsive to tune and customize the product to its customers' needs.

Cons

  • Resume Parser by Affinda is a few seconds slower than the other parsers I used (Part of this may just be due to propagation delay, considering my data center is halfway around the world). Regardless, for my needs, Affinda's accuracy outweighed the extra latency.
