Feature Request: Auto-Import Resume Data from LinkedIn, GitHub, Portfolio & LeetCode

Description

Currently, users need to manually enter all resume information into the platform. This can be time-consuming, especially for students and developers who already maintain updated professional profiles on platforms like LinkedIn.

A smart import feature would significantly improve onboarding and user experience by automatically extracting and populating resume fields from external profiles.


Proposed Feature

Add support for importing resume data from:

  • LinkedIn profile/export
    There can be more like importing

The system should analyze these sources and auto-fill relevant resume sections.


Possible Auto-Detected Information

From LinkedIn

  • Education
  • Work experience
  • Skills
  • Certifications
  • Achievements

Benefits

  • Faster onboarding experience
  • Reduces manual data entry
  • Especially useful for students and developers
  • Improves resume completeness
  • Encourages users to maintain updated profiles
  • Makes the platform more AI-assisted and modern

Suggested Implementation Ideas

  • LinkedIn profile/export parsing

Additional Enhancements (Optional)

  • Allow users to select which imported data to keep
  • Merge imported data with existing resume fields
  • AI-generated project summaries from repositories
  • Skill extraction from commit history / README files

Expected Outcome

Users should be able to provide profile links (or upload exports) and instantly generate a partially completed resume with projects, skills, experience, and achievements already filled in.
