How Breezy HR reads your resume
Breezy HR is one of the few systems that will take an Apple Pages file as a resume. The more important detail is further down its help centre: a resume that can't be parsed, because it is a scan or is written in a language Breezy does not support, is also skipped by the AI review features an employer may have switched on.
Breezy HR is a trademark of its owner. ATSPrep isn't affiliated with it.

What Breezy HR pulls out, and what gets lost.
Your file goes in, Breezy HR fills the fields it recognises, and the line underneath types what its own documentation says goes missing on the way.
What Breezy HR accepts, with sources.
Every line below links to the page it came from. Where Breezy HR does not publish a detail, this guide leaves it out rather than guessing.
Accepted file types
Size limits
Breezy HR does not publish a size limit for resume uploads.
Form autofill
Breezy parses a resume into the candidate profile. Its help centre says you can check whether a resume was parsed by looking at the Experience tab of the candidate's profile.
Breezy does not document a step where the applicant reviews the parse. A resume that was not parsed is not analysed by Resume Audit or Applicant Insights.
What ATSPrep exports, and whether Breezy HR takes it
This is computed at build time by comparing our export formats to Breezy HR's published list. It is not written by hand, so it cannot drift out of date.

Breezy HR takes both, so the choice is yours. PDF or DOCX: a simple rule for picking
What trips people up on Breezy HR
Apple Pages is on the resume list
For resumes uploaded in the career portal or with an application, Breezy lists doc, docx, pages, pdf, rtf and txt. Pages is rare on any accepted list. Accepting a file is still not the same as parsing it well, so a PDF or DOCX remains the safer choice.

Breezy's Resume Audit article says resumes that can't be parsed will not be analysed, naming a scanned resume and a resume not in a supported language as examples. To see whether a resume was parsed, Breezy points recruiters to the Experience tab of the candidate's profile.

Applicant Insights, Breezy's AI review of applicants, can analyse resumes parsed in 25 languages. Its help article says that if a resume is not in a supported language, it can't be parsed or analysed.

For parsing, Breezy asks for text-based documents such as DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT or PDF, rather than scanned documents saved as images or PDFs. A scan still uploads. It just produces nothing to read.

Breezy lists the languages it can parse: Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. That list is in its bulk import article; the Applicant Insights article gives the count as 25.

Breezy publishes a 50 MB limit for files uploaded to a candidate's profile. It does not state a separate number for the application form, so this guide does not quote one.

A Breezy career portal lives at company.breezy.hr by default. Employers on paid plans can move it to a subdomain of their own, such as careers.company.com, so a custom address does not rule Breezy out.

Formatting for Breezy HR
Go through your file before you apply and tick each one off. Your ticks stay in this browser, so the list is still here for the next Breezy HR job.
Both are on the resume list and both are named as text-based formats Breezy can parse. Save from your editor rather than scanning a printout.
A resume outside Breezy's language list is not parsed, and so is not analysed by its AI review features. If you have a choice, apply in a language on the list.
Select all in the PDF and paste it into a plain text note. If nothing comes out, Breezy's parser gets nothing either.
Pages is accepted, but it is a niche format for any parser. Export to PDF or DOCX from Pages before you apply.
All four checked. Good luck with this one.
Once it's sent, add the job to your tracker. You'll know which version went where, and when a follow-up is fair.
Read your resume back before Breezy HR does.
Guidance is worth less than evidence. Export a PDF from the Studio and the X-Ray re-opens that exact file and shows you the text a parser recovers from it, in reading order, with anything it dropped marked.

Breezy HR and your resume
- What is Breezy HR?
- Breezy HR is an applicant tracking system that employers use to post jobs, collect applications and move candidates through a pipeline. If the application page sits on a company.breezy.hr address, the employer uses Breezy HR.
- Does Breezy HR read PDF resumes?
- Yes. PDF is on Breezy's resume list, and it is named as a text-based format Breezy can parse. A scanned PDF is the exception: Breezy says resumes that are scans can't be parsed.
- What file types does Breezy HR accept for a resume?
- DOC, DOCX, Pages, PDF, RTF and TXT, for resumes uploaded in the career portal, with an application, or to a candidate's profile. Breezy publishes this list in its help centre.
- What is the Breezy HR resume size limit?
- Breezy publishes a 50 MB limit for files uploaded to a candidate's profile. It does not state a separate limit for the application form itself.
- Why did my resume fail to parse in Breezy HR?
- Breezy names two causes: a scanned resume, and a resume that is not in a supported language. It asks for text-based files such as DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT or PDF rather than scanned documents saved as images or PDFs.
- Does Breezy HR parse resumes in languages other than English?
- Yes. Breezy lists Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
- Does a failed parse mean Breezy HR rejected my application?
- No. Breezy does not describe a failed parse as a rejection. But a resume that was not parsed is not analysed by Resume Audit or Applicant Insights, so it misses any AI review the employer has switched on.
- How can I tell if an employer uses Breezy HR?
- Look at the application URL. Breezy career portals default to company.breezy.hr. Some employers on paid plans use their own subdomain instead, such as careers.company.com.
