Make experience and education sections look the way you want [parsed data tags]

Updated over a week ago

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide based on your Loom video on customizing the Experience and Education sections in HireAra using AI tags.


🛠️ Guide: How to Customize the Experience & Education Sections in HireAra Using AI Tags

With the new update in HireAra, you no longer need to rely on free text blocks and manual AI tag insertion to control the formatting of your Work Experience and Education sections. Instead, you can now embed AI tags directly into structured experience or education items.

🚀 What This Means

Previously, formatting customizations required using free text fields with AI tags. Now, you can configure parsed data AI prompts and apply them directly within the education or experience sections—giving you the flexibility and structure you need.


🧩 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create Your AI Prompts

  1. Navigate to the AI Prompts area.

  2. Click “Create Prompt” and name your prompt.
    Example: Custom Company Size.

  3. Enable Advanced Mode

  4. Choose the Prompt Type:
    Select “Past Data Prompt”.

  5. Choose the section to apply the prompt to:

    • Experience Item or

    • Education Item

  6. Paste your prompt logic.
    Example: a prompt that extracts or formats the company size.

  7. Test the prompt and then Save it.

Repeat the steps to create additional prompts, such as for:

  • Custom role descriptions

  • Highlights

  • Any AI-generated text tag


Step 2: Apply Prompts to Your Template

  1. Open the template you want to customize.

  2. Replace standard fields with your AI tag fields:

    • For example, replace Company with Company Size.

    • Replace Comments with your Text Tag.

  3. If needed, use a different design variant of the section:

    • Some variants include defaults like Start Date / End Date that can be retained.

    • You can also choose the blank design for a fully customized layout.

  4. Re-apply the template structure with your updated tags.


Step 3: Make the Template Live and Test It

  1. Ensure your template is marked as Live.

  2. Upload a candidate CV and apply the template.

  3. Observe the output:

    • The structured fields will now reflect your custom AI formatting, like company size or detailed bullet points.

    • Check that formatting aligns with your intent.


🧠 Tips & Notes

  • Be specific with your prompts: Avoid vague instructions like “Do this for every work experience”—this can cause the tag to generate repeated or redundant content across multiple entries.

  • Flexible Use: You can use this method to format text inline (like inserting company size) or generate entire work experience/education sections.

  • Design Matters: Different designs have different default fields; choose based on what you want to retain.
