Limitations

Complex CV layouts can lose structure
AI parsing of resume/CV content — non-standard layouts, multi-column designs, or heavily formatted PDFs may lose structure
What to do instead: For best results, accept resumes in standard single-column formats or plain text alongside the PDF
Input documents are limited to 8 MiB decoded
Documents supplied by URL or base64 are refused above 8 MiB of decoded data, with a caller_input error naming the input field and no charge. Reduce the document size or split it before submitting.
