ResumeExtractBench

ResumeExtractBench is a benchmark for schema-guided structured extraction from resume documents. Given a resume PDF and a JSON Schema, systems must return structured data covering personal details, work history, education, skills, and more.

• Dataset Size: 30 documents (real-world anonymized + synthetic + handwritten + expert-created)
• Schema Sections Scored: 14 (basics, experience, education, projects, personalSummary, certifications, awards, volunteering, skills, publications, languages, interests, profiles, customSections)
• Domains: 11 (engineering, software-engineering, legal, government, healthcare, finance, education, consulting, design, non-profit, general)
• License: CC-BY-4.0

Scoring Methodology: ResumeBench-Strict

This benchmark uses ResumeBench-Strict scoring with three rules that make it harder than per-cell scoring:

1. Record-level units. An entity (one job, school, certification, etc.) is ONE unit: it is correct only if it is aligned AND every non-empty field matches AND its bullets match one-for-one (same count, each bullet equal).

2. Empty is not free. Basics fields count only where the label or the parser has a value. Skills: one unit per skill.

3. Section-averaged. Per document, F1 / precision / recall are computed per section and averaged, so every section weighs the same.

Verbatim mode (on by default): strings match only after whitespace collapsing — case and punctuation count. Typographic variants (smart quotes, em dashes, soft hyphens) are folded.

Grading Your Own Model

Python API

from resume_bench.grading.grader import grade_single_strict

result = grade_single_strict(ground_truth, prediction, verbatim=True)
print(f"F1: {result['f1']:.4f}")
print(f"Sections: {result['sections']}")

JSONL Predictions File

# Create predictions file
echo '{"resume_id": "abc123", "prediction": {...}}' > preds.jsonl

# Grade
resume-bench grade-file preds.jsonl --split test
