Issue: Implement ATS Score Recognizer for Resumes

Description: We aim to develop an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) score recognizer that evaluates resumes based on their compatibility with job descriptions. This tool will help job seekers optimize their resumes to improve their chances of passing through ATS filters.

Objectives:

1. Text Extraction:

   • Utilize Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from resumes in various formats (PDF, DOCX, images).

2. Keyword Matching:

   • Implement functionality to compare the extracted resume text against a provided job description, identifying relevant keywords and phrases.

3. Formatting Analysis:

   • Assess the resume's layout to determine if it adheres to ATS-friendly formatting practices (e.g., proper headings, bullet points).

4. Score Calculation:

   • Develop an algorithm that calculates an ATS score based on keyword presence, frequency, and formatting.

5. User Interface:

   • Create a simple interface where users can upload resumes and job descriptions to receive an ATS score along with suggestions for improvement.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Users can upload resumes in PDF, DOCX, or image format.
• The tool extracts text accurately from different formats.
• The tool identifies and highlights keywords from the job description present in the resume.
• The tool evaluates formatting and provides feedback on ATS compatibility.
• A score is generated based on the analysis, and users receive actionable suggestions for improvement.

Additional Notes:

• Consider using libraries like Tesseract for OCR and NLTK/SpaCy for natural language processing.
• Include unit tests to ensure the reliability of the text extraction and scoring algorithms.
• Documentation should be updated to reflect the new features and usage instructions.

@Baig-fatema thanks for the suggestion. I thought about it and unfortunately I decided to not proceed with it. The reason is that this has less to do with Computer Vision. Also the ATS score recognizer, you would be building, would be more of library calling than actual implementation. Though not against it, I feel that this repo is not where this project belongs to. Thanks for the suggestion though.
