Batch Resume Upload: How to Process Hundreds of Resumes at Once

We've heard from customers that one of the most tedious parts of resume screening is just getting all the files into the system. That's why we've invested heavily in making the upload experience as smooth as possible — whether you have 10 resumes or 3,000.

Supported File Formats

ClearMatch now accepts resumes in three formats:

• PDF — The most common resume format, fully supported
• DOCX — Microsoft Word documents are parsed with the same accuracy as PDFs
• ZIP — Upload a ZIP archive containing multiple PDFs and/or DOCX files

How Batch Processing Works

When you upload resumes, they're immediately stored in secure cloud storage. Processing then happens in the background — you don't need to keep your browser open. Here's the flow:

• Files are uploaded to encrypted cloud storage
• AI parsing begins automatically in the background
• Each resume is parsed into structured data (name, skills, experience, education)
• Once parsed, resumes are scored against job requirements
• Progress is visible in real-time on the job posting page

Real-Time Progress Tracking

The job posting page shows live progress as resumes are processed: how many are uploaded, how many are parsed, and how many are scored. You'll see the applicant list populate in real time as candidates are processed.

Credit Tiers

Each job posting uses a credit that determines how many applicants can be processed:

• Starter (Free): Up to 100 applicants
• Essential ($49): Up to 500 applicants
• Pro ($199): Up to 3,000 applicants, with $50 per additional 1,000
