Retrieval Augmented Generation for Resumes: The Future of Resume Analysis
Introduction
Resumes are an essential part of the job application process. They serve as a summary of a person’s work experience, education, and skills. Recruiters and hiring managers rely heavily on resumes to determine the suitability of a candidate for a job position. However, with the increasing number of job applications, it has become a daunting task for recruiters to manually review and analyze each resume. This is where retrieval augmented generation for resumes comes into play. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of retrieval augmented generation for resumes and its benefits for researchers, marketers, and organizations.
What is Retrieval Augmented Generation for Resumes?
Retrieval augmented generation for resumes is a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and generative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to analyze resumes. It involves the use of large language models and data visualization to extract valuable insights from resumes. This technology allows for the automatic extraction of key information from resumes and generates a comprehensive profile of a candidate.
The Benefits of Resume Analysis for Researchers
As a researcher, analyzing resumes can provide valuable insights into the job market and the skills and qualifications that are in high demand. With the help of retrieval augmented generation, researchers can quickly gather data on the most sought-after skills, education, and experience in a particular industry or job market. This information can be used to identify any skills or qualifications that are lacking in the workforce and to make recommendations for education and training programs.
The Benefits of Resume Analysis for Marketers
For marketers, resume analysis can be a powerful tool for understanding consumer behavior and preferences. By analyzing the resumes of job seekers, marketers can gain insights into the interests, skills, and experiences of a particular demographic. This information can then be used to tailor marketing strategies and target specific audiences. For example, if a company is looking to launch a new product targeting young professionals, resume analysis can help identify the most common skills and interests among this demographic, allowing for more targeted and effective marketing efforts.
The Benefits of Resume Analysis for Organizations
For organizations, resume analysis can streamline the recruitment process and improve the quality of hires. With the help of retrieval augmented generation, organizations can quickly identify the most suitable candidates for a job position based on their skills, education, and experience. This not only saves time and resources but also ensures that the organization hires the most qualified individuals. Additionally, resume analysis can also help organizations identify any skills or qualifications that may be lacking in their current workforce, allowing for targeted recruitment and training efforts.
Conclusion
In today’s fast-paced job market, resume analysis is becoming increasingly important for researchers, marketers, and organizations alike. With the help of retrieval augmented generation, the process of resume analysis has become more efficient, accurate, and insightful. This technology not only benefits job seekers by helping them stand out in a sea of resumes but also provides valuable information and insights for researchers, marketers, and organizations. As technology continues to advance, retrieval augmented generation for resumes is undoubtedly the future of resume analysis.

You can also upload media to Speak through a publicly available URL.
As long as the file type extension is available at the end of the URL you will have no problem importing your recording for automatic transcription and analysis.
YouTube URLs
Speak is compatible with YouTube videos. All you have to do is copy the URL of the YouTube video (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKfcLcHeivc).
Speak will automatically find the file, calculate the length, and import the video.
If using YouTube videos, please make sure you use the full link and not the shortened YouTube snippet. Additionally, make sure you remove the channel name from the URL.
Speak Integrations
As mentioned, Speak also contains a range of integrations for Zoom, Zapier, Vimeo and more that will help you automatically transcribe your media.

Step 3: Calculate and Pay the Total Automatically
Once you have your file(s) ready and load it into Speak, it will automatically calculate the total cost (you get 30 minutes of audio and video free in the 14-day trial – take advantage of it!).
If you are uploading text data into Speak, you do not currently have to pay any cost. Only the Speak Magic Prompts analysis would create a fee which will be detailed below.
Once you go over your 30 minutes or need to use Speak Magic Prompts, you can pay by subscribing to a personalized plan using our real-time calculator.
You can also add a balance or pay for uploads and analysis without a plan using your credit card.
Step 4: Wait for Speak to Analyze Your Resumes
If you are uploading audio and video, our automated transcription software will prepare your transcript quickly. Once completed, you will get an email notification that your transcript is complete.
That email will contain a link back to the file so you can access the interactive media player with the transcript, analysis, and export formats ready for you.
If you are importing CSVs or uploading text files Speak will generally analyze the information much more quickly.
Speak will automatically embed your data in a well-architected vector database which allows you to use retrieval augmented generation for Resumes.
Step 5: Visit Your File Or Folder
Speak is capable of analyzing both individual files and entire folders of data.
When you are viewing any individual file in Speak, all you have to do is click on the “Prompts” button.
If you want to analyze many files, all you have to do is add the files you want to analyze into a folder within Speak.
You can do that by adding new files into Speak or you can organize your current files into your desired folder with the software’s easy editing functionality.
Step 6: Select Speak Magic Prompts To Analyze Your Resumes
What Are Magic Prompts?
Speak Magic Prompts leverage innovation in artificial intelligence models often referred to as “generative AI”.
These models have analyzed huge amounts of data from across the internet to gain an understanding of language.
With that understanding, these “large language models” are capable of performing mind-bending tasks!
With Speak Magic Prompts, you can now perform those tasks on the audio, video and text data in your Speak account.
Retrieval augmented generation is what makes these Magic Prompts work so well.
Step 7: Select or Create Your Assistant Type
To help you get better results from Speak Magic Prompts, Speak has introduced “Assistant Type”.
These assistant types pre-set and provide context to the prompt engine for more concise, meaningful outputs based on your needs.
To begin, we have included:
- General
- Researcher
- Marketer
- Sales
- Recruiter
Choose the most relevant assistant type from the dropdown.
You can also create your own custom Assistant Template Type.
If you visit the new page Account Preferences, you can see there is now an area where you can create your own custom Assistant.
This allows you to set the context of the engine for higher quality and more consistent outputs.
For example, you could say:
“We are [COMPANY NAME]. We are analyzing [DATA] to understand how to improve [GOAL]. We want all responses to be concise and in table format.”.
This becomes a reusable template in any of your manual or automated Magic Prompts.
You can create multiple templates for different use cases.
As an example, the analysis you run on a focus group may be different than a one-on-one interview.
Step 8: Create Or Select Your Desired Prompt
Here are some examples prompts that you can apply to any file right now:
- Create a SWOT Analysis
- Give me the top action items
- Create a bullet point list summary
- Tell me the key issues that were left unresolved
- Tell me what questions were asked
A modal will pop up so you can use the suggested prompts we shared above to instantly and magically get your answers.
If you have your own prompts you want to create, select “Custom Prompt” from the dropdown and another text box will open where you can ask anything you want of your data!
Step 9: Review & Share Responses
Speak will generate a concise response for you in a text box below the prompt selection dropdown. With Chat enabled, you can also continue to query that data to reveal more insights and reformat the information to your needs.
In this example, we ask to analyze all the Resumes in the folder at once for the top product dissatisfiers.
You can easily copy that response for your presentations, content, emails, team members and more!
