Beyond Human Labels: A Multi-Linguistic Auto-Generated Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models on Resume Parsing

摘要

Efficient resume parsing is critical for global hiring, yet the absence of dedicated benchmarks for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on multilingual, structure-rich resumes hinders progress. To address this, we introduce ResumeBench, the first privacy-compliant benchmark comprising 2,500 synthetic resumes spanning 50 templates, 30 career fields, and 5 languages. These resumes are generated through a human-in-the-loop pipeline that prioritizes realism, diversity, and privacy compliance, which are validated against real-world resumes. This paper evaluates 24 state-of-the-art LLMs on ResumeBench, revealing substantial variations in handling resume complexities. Specifically, top-performing models like GPT-4o exhibit challenges in cross-lingual structural alignment while smaller models show inconsistent scaling effects. Code-specialized LLMs underperform relative to generalists, while JSON outputs enhance schema compliance but fail to address semantic ambiguities. Our findings underscore the necessity for domain-specific optimization and hybrid training strategies to enhance structural and contextual reasoning in LLMs.
