One files a person under a role, the other files a role under a person. Six ways teams try to cover both jobs, what each system is actually modelling, and the three groups who fall between them and get lost.
Parsing turns a document into fields, and every step can lose or invent something. Six uses reviewed, where parsing predictably breaks, and the line between narrowing a list and excluding somebody nobody will ever see.

Candidate experience is mostly uncertainty rather than warmth. Six points where the experience is decided, what silence communicates at each gap, and the three groups who disappear without ever telling you why.
