ZippyElf helps job seekers get their education recognized correctly in online applications — so it's seen by recruiters, not lost in a text field.
Most job application portals — especially Workday — don't just accept your resume. They try to parse and categorize it. Your school, degree type, and field of study each get matched against a company-specific list of approved values. If the match fails, your education saves as freeform text instead of structured data, making it invisible to filters and search.
The frustrating part is that most applicants never know this is happening. You fill in the form, hit submit, and assume it worked. ZippyElf makes sure it actually does.
Upload your resume PDF and ZippyElf extracts your education — schools, degrees, and fields of study — then matches each one to the exact values a company's portal expects. We maintain a database of 70+ companies and grow it automatically: paste any Workday URL and we'll look up that company's options live.
The result is a clean, plain-text resume formatted for any application portal, with your education matched precisely to each company's requirements.
