The resume parser and viewer built natively for Salesforce.
Salesforce is one of the most flexible ATS platforms on the planet — but out of the box it can't parse or view resumes. Parsli fixes that. 100% Salesforce-native. No middleware. No data leaving your org.
Why Parsli exists
Can't you just upload resumes as Files?
You can. But when you search for a skill, Salesforce returns a list of files, not Contacts — which is the opposite of what a recruiter needs.
Parsli creates Contact records in seconds, parses the valuable data off the resume, lets you search for skills with native Salesforce search, and renders the resume right on the record without an extra click.
That's it. That's the product. We didn't build a CRM on top of your CRM.
What you get
Parse, view, search, dedupe. Done.
Fast by design
Drag-and-drop as many resumes as you want at once. Bench-tested 4–5× faster than competing parsers. Snappy, not laggy.
Email-to-parse
Forward resumes from your inbox and Parsli drops the candidate, parsed data, and the original file straight onto a Contact.
LinkedIn profiles too
Parse LinkedIn profile exports into Contact records — same flow, same fields, same duplicate handling.
Inline PDF & Word viewer
View resumes right on the Contact record without downloading or hopping tabs. Works with both Files and Attachments.
Native Salesforce search
Full-text search with highlighted keywords using the search you already use. No separate index to maintain.
Real duplicate handling
Matches on email first, then runs your custom Salesforce duplicate rules and surfaces potential matches before you create noise.
Lightweight & modular
Buy only what you need to parse and view resumes — none of the bloat that turns Salesforce into an episode of Hoarders.
Looks great on any device
Built on Lightning Web Components. Resumes render cleanly on desktop and the Salesforce mobile apps.
Setup
Live in under 30 minutes.
Every SaaS app says it's easy to set up. Parsli actually is. Here's the literal checklist:
- 1
Install the managed package

- 2
Add candidate Account + Record Type
~3 minutes in Setup.
- 3
Drop parser + viewer on the Contact page
~5 minutes in the Lightning App Builder.
- 4
Map Parsli fields to your layout
~10 minutes if you tinker.
- 5
Add parsing to the Home page / utility bar
~5 minutes. Optional: email-to-parse aliases.
Your data stays in Salesforce
Nothing is stored outside your org. You own all of it — always.
Parse existing resumes too
Pre-built tools to parse resumes already sitting in Salesforce, no re-upload required.
Support that picks up
Real humans. Screen shares if you need them. Bug fixes you actually hear back on.
FAQ
Parsli, answered.
- Can Parsli parse to Leads?
- No — and on purpose. Leads aren't people records; they're accounts, opportunities, and contacts wrapped in one spreadsheet-shaped object with workflows that get in the way of recruiting. Use Accounts, Record Types, and picklists on Contacts to segment candidate types instead.
- How do candidates get searched after they're parsed?
- Native Salesforce search. We recommend Contact list views filtered down to under ~2,000 records, then full boolean searches against the resume text. For larger orgs or advanced search needs, Parsli can also parse skills, education, and employment into their own objects to play nicely with Kona Search, Textkernel, or a data warehouse.
- Will resumes already in Salesforce show up in the viewer?
- Yes — the viewer aggregates both Files and Attachments. The parsed data fields will be blank until those resumes are run through the parser, and we have pre-built tools to do that in bulk.
- Can Parsli parse LinkedIn profiles?
- Yes. Only caveat: LinkedIn changes their formatting from time to time, which can temporarily affect parsing until we catch up.
- How does Parsli handle duplicates?
- First it matches on email — the cleanest unique identifier. If email is missing or doesn't match, Parsli runs your Salesforce custom duplicate rules and surfaces potential matches with links before creating a new record.
- Can it view Word resumes? Scanned PDFs?
- Word: yes (a small subset of .docx files can't render due to Salesforce limitations). Scanned PDFs: no — those are essentially images, and OCR isn't in scope today.
- What happens if we decide Parsli isn't for us?
- You keep all your data. Files (resumes) and standard fields like Name and Email stay where they are. Parsli's custom fields would need to be remapped to your own — a straightforward 1:1 mapping for an admin. Nothing is stored outside your Salesforce org.
