Technical Details

Validation Rules

Rule Limit Error Message
Minimum files 2 files "Please upload at least 2 files for batch processing"
Maximum files 10 files "Maximum 10 files allowed. You uploaded X files"
File size 5MB per file "Size (X MB) exceeds 5 MB limit"
File types PDF, DOCX, TXT "Invalid type '.ext'. Allowed: PDF, DOCX, TXT"

Batch Analysis Process

  1. File Validation: Each file is validated for size and type
  2. Parsing: Resume text is extracted using existing parser
  3. Analysis: Each resume is analyzed for:
    • Resume score (0-100)
    • Keyword match percentage
    • Predicted role (ML model)
    • Improvement suggestions
  4. Summary Generation: Overall statistics are calculated
  5. Result Display: Results are shown in comparison view

Export Formats

CSV Format:

Filename,Score,Keyword Match (%),Predicted Role,Word Count,Issues Found,Suggestions,Analysis Date
resume1.pdf,75,80,Software Engineer,500,3,"Add projects | Include skills | ...",2026-01-24 10:30:45

PDF Format:

  • Title page with generation timestamp
  • Summary statistics section
  • Detailed results per resume
  • Professional formatting with clear sections

Session State Variables

  • batch_mode: Boolean indicating if batch mode is active
  • batch_results: List of analysis results for all uploaded resumes
  • batch_summary: Dictionary containing summary statistics

Future Enhancements

Potential Improvements

  1. Parallel Processing: Use multiprocessing for faster analysis of large batches
  2. Advanced Comparisons: Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 selected resumes
  3. Custom Reports: Allow users to select which metrics to include in exports
  4. Batch History: Save and retrieve previous batch analysis sessions
  5. Email Reports: Send analysis reports directly to user's email
  6. Template Matching: Identify resumes matching specific job templates
  7. Skill Gap Analysis: Compare resumes against job requirements collectively

Known Limitations

  1. Maximum Files: Limited to 10 files per batch to prevent server overload
  2. File Size: Individual files limited to 5MB
  3. Processing Time: Large batches may take 30-60 seconds to process
  4. Memory Usage: All results stored in session state (cleared on page refresh)
  5. PDF Export: Complex layouts may not render perfectly in some PDF viewers

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: "Please upload at least 2 files" Solution: Batch mode requires minimum 2 files. Use single mode for 1 file.

Issue: "Maximum 10 files allowed" Solution: Split your files into multiple batches of max 10 files each.

Issue: "File size exceeds 5 MB limit" Solution: Compress the PDF or remove unnecessary pages before uploading.

Issue: Progress bar stuck Solution: Refresh the page and try again. Check file validity.

Issue: Export buttons not appearing Solution: Ensure analysis is complete. Check browser console for errors.

Dependencies

New Dependencies (already in requirements.txt)

  • pandas: For data manipulation and CSV export
  • fpdf2: For PDF generation
  • streamlit: For UI components (existing)

Existing Dependencies Used

  • utils/resume_parser.py: Resume parsing
  • utils/analyze_resume.py: Resume analysis logic
  • PyMuPDF (fitz): PDF processing (existing)

Performance Metrics

Typical Performance

  • Upload validation: < 100ms
  • Single resume analysis: 500ms - 1s
  • Batch of 5 resumes: 3-5 seconds
  • Batch of 10 resumes: 6-10 seconds
  • CSV export: < 200ms
  • PDF export: 500ms - 2s

Security Considerations

  1. File Validation: All files validated for type and size before processing
  2. Content Sanitization: File content checked for malicious code (via MIME validation from #136)
  3. Memory Management: Results cleared from session state on page refresh
  4. No Persistent Storage: Files never saved to disk (processed in memory only)
  5. Export Security: Generated reports contain only analysis data, no raw file content
