Frequently Asked Questions

▶Can it extract numbers from PDF resumes?

NumSwift works with plain text, so you will need to copy the resume text first. Most PDF viewers let you select all text with Ctrl+A, then paste it into NumSwift. The tool handles messy formatting — even if the number is buried in a header or footer, it will be found.

▶How does this help with high-volume recruiting?

When you are screening 50+ candidates per day, manually finding and dialing each number adds up. Paste an entire batch of candidate notes or ATS export text and NumSwift pulls every number at once, letting you work through your call list without context-switching.

▶Can I use this for international candidate outreach?

Yes. NumSwift supports phone number formats from over 200 countries. If you are recruiting across borders, set the default country to the candidate's location and the tool will format numbers correctly for calling or WhatsApp.

▶Does it store candidate phone numbers?

NumSwift stores recent extractions in your browser's local storage for convenience, but nothing leaves your device. No data is sent to any server, which helps you stay compliant with candidate data handling policies.
