People Parser

Turn Any Web Page Into a Candidate Profile

BrightMove’s People Parser is a free Chrome extension that captures resumes and profiles from anywhere on the web—LinkedIn, job boards, personal sites—straight into your ATS in seconds.

Why recruiters rely on People Parser

Parse from any web page

Highlight any text on a page and click the People Parser icon to capture it, or click with nothing selected to parse the entire page—perfect for candidate sites, personal portfolios, and job boards alike.

Create Applicant or Contact profiles instantly

Choose whether to parse the page as a new Applicant or a Contact. An edit window lets you review and adjust the captured fields before saving, or skip the preview entirely for one-click parsing.

Built-in duplication check

Every newly parsed profile runs through your BrightMove duplication settings automatically. If a match is found, push the new information into the existing profile with one click instead of creating a duplicate record.

Add to a folder or submit to a job on the spot

While parsing an applicant, add them straight to a folder or submit them to one of your most recently viewed jobs—no need to leave the page you’re sourcing from.

LinkedIn-compliant by design

BrightMove only supports parsing downloadable PDF versions of LinkedIn profiles, in line with LinkedIn’s Terms of Service. Any other scraping or copy/paste method isn’t supported.

Free from the Chrome Web Store

Install the BrightMove People Parser extension directly from the Chrome Web Store, sign in to your BrightMove account, and you’re ready to source from any page you’re logged into Chrome with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BrightMove People Parser?

People Parser is a free Chrome browser extension that lets you capture candidate or contact information from any web page and parse it directly into a new BrightMove Applicant or Contact profile.

How do I parse a specific section of a page?

Highlight the text you want captured, then click the People Parser icon in your Chrome toolbar. To parse the entire page instead, click the icon without highlighting anything.

Can I parse LinkedIn profiles?

Yes, but only the downloadable PDF version of a LinkedIn profile. Scraping or copy/pasting LinkedIn profile data any other way isn’t supported, per LinkedIn’s Terms of Service.

What happens if the parsed profile already exists in my ATS?

People Parser automatically runs the capture through your company’s duplication check settings. If a match is found, you can push the new details into the existing profile or save it as a new one.

Can I submit a parsed candidate to a job right away?

Yes. While parsing, you can add the candidate to a folder and/or submit them to one of your most recently viewed jobs, all from the same parse window.

Where do I get the People Parser extension?

Install it free from the Chrome Web Store, then look for the icon in your Chrome toolbar (or under the puzzle-piece extensions menu) once you’re logged into BrightMove.
