Recruitment automation increasingly relies on Large Language Models (LLMs) for extracting structured information from unstructured CVs and job postings. However, production data often arrive as heterogeneous, privacy-sensitive PDFs, limiting reproducibility and compliance. This study introduces a deterministic, GDPR-aligned pipeline that converts recruitment documents into structured, anonymized Markdown and subsequently into validated JSON ready for downstream AI processing. The workflow combines the Docling PDF-to-Markdown converter with a two-pass anonymization protocol and evaluates three LLM back-ends—GPT-4o (Azure, frozen proprietary), GPT-OSS-120B and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct—using identical prompts and schema constraints under near-zero-temperature decoding. Each model’s output was assessed across 2280 multilingual CVs using two complementary metrics: reference-based completeness and content similarity. The proprietary GPT-4o achieved perfect schema coverage and served as the reproducibility baseline, while the open-weight models reached 73–79% completeness and 59–72% content similarity depending on section complexity. Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct performed strongly on standardized sections such as contact and legal, whereas GPT-OSS-120B better-handled less frequent narrative fields. The results demonstrate that fully deterministic, auditable document extraction is achievable with both proprietary and open LLMs when guided by strong schema validation and anonymization. The proposed pipeline bridges the gap between document ingestion and reliable, bias-aware data preparation for AI-driven recruitment systems.
