Is there any ruby gem/ rails plugin available for parsing the resume and importing that information into an object/form ?
I may be wrong, but I don’t think you’ll find anything completely automated to do this, because a résumé (or CV) can be structured in so many different ways and can contain very different types of data. Any completely automated solution is likely to have accuracy problems, since it is technically a difficult problem to solve.
You may find this answer useful.
Here are some other suggestions that might help :-
Require a user to enter their details into a form on your website instead of uploading a Word document. You’ll then be able to explicitly ask for the data you want and you’ll be able to store the data in a structure that suits you. However, this may be too much of a barrier to entry for your users.
Allow a user to submit the URL of their résumé published using the hResume microformat. Sites like LinkedIn already publish résumés in this format. There is a Ruby gem mofo which can parse microformats including hResumes. However, not all users will have an on-line résumé like this.
