Keyword Resume Screener

A simple node application that screens files (pdfs & word files currently supported) for keywords and displays a quick summary. Made this so I can sift through tons of resumes really quickly.

Usage

  • If running on pdf files, you need to have pdftotext installed. For mac brew install poppler. Windows users please use this link.
  • Change keywords and matching criteria under skillsToFind in config.js
  • Run node index.js $path-to-file(s)
    • node index.js ~/resumes/*
    • node index.js ~/resumes/file1.docx ~/resumes/file2.docx
  • You can also link this as a global binary by running npm link. After this you can simple run resume-screen $path-to-file(s)
