The example above uses a synthetic candidate. No real resume, agency or person is shown.

What the example demonstrates

  1. A date range is stored at the precision it was written in. "2021-06" stays a month; it is never widened into a day or narrowed into a year.

  2. The percentage in the bullet is checked against the source text, and the check would flag it if the number did not appear there.

  3. The closing paragraph is not silently dropped and not turned into a skill. It stays in the inventory, marked as not placed, until a person says what it is.

  4. The de-identified version keeps the employer and the dates at month precision, and removes the name, the email address and the telephone number from every part of the file.
