A CV formatting service for recruitment agencies, without the wait

How it replaces an outsourced formatting service

1. 1

   Give us the document you send clients

   Upload a finished profile, shortlist deck or tracker. Formatix turns it into your template with the fonts, colours and spacing kept, and emails you a sample to approve. This is the brief you would otherwise write for a formatting service, done once.

2. 2

   Send CVs the way you already do

   Upload them, drop a batch for a shortlist, or forward a CV to your formatting email address and get the document back by reply, as you would with a service, but in about a minute rather than overnight.

3. 3

   Check and send

   Every result opens beside the original CV. Edit anything in place, then download the Word, PowerPoint or Excel file. Corrections you want on every document can be set once as standing rules, such as salaries as ranges or no nationality.

Every format your clients ask for

Formatting services usually return a Word document. The same extraction here fills your profile, your PowerPoint shortlist and your Excel tracker, so a shortlist pack no longer needs three hand-offs.

Why agencies bring CV formatting back in-house with software

• Minutes, not overnight

  A service works to its queue and its time zone. A CV formatted here is back in about thirty seconds, which matters when a client wants the shortlist this afternoon.

• A predictable price per CV

  From £1 per CV on the smallest plan to £0.77 on the Enterprise plan, published on the pricing page, with no minimum volume. Most formatting services and assistants cost more per CV once management time is counted.

• Your template, exactly

  The template is built from your own document and checked against it before it is marked ready, so fonts, colours and spacing match what your clients already receive.

• Consistent across the team

  Every consultant's CVs come back in the same layout, whoever sent them and whatever the CV looked like.

• Fewer people handling candidate data

  CVs are processed by the platform in the UK and EU rather than sent to an outside assistant, and nothing you upload is used to train models.

• The consultant stays in control

  The result is shown beside the original for checking, and every document is an editable file, so nothing goes to a client unseen.

Software compared with an outsourced formatting service

Both take the formatting off your consultants. The differences are speed, cost at volume, and how many hands the candidate's CV passes through.

Questions recruiters ask

Is this a CV formatting service or software?

Software. It does what a formatting service does, turning each CV into your branded template, but automatically, in about thirty seconds, with a consultant checking the result beside the original.

Can we still send CVs by email like we do to our current service?

Yes. Each account can have a formatting email address. Forward a CV to it and the formatted document comes back by reply, in your default template.

Who sets up our template?

You upload a document you already send clients and Formatix builds the template from it, then emails you a sample. Reply with corrections in plain words until it is right. There is no designer or onboarding project.

What about CVs that need judgement, such as removing a candidate's current employer?

Set it as a standing rule for your account, such as never showing the current employer or always showing salaries as ranges, and it applies to every document. For a single CV, edit the result before sending.

Is it cheaper than outsourcing?

For most agencies, yes. Plans cost £1 to £0.77 per CV with no minimum, and there is no management time spent briefing and checking an outside assistant. Compare against your current per-CV cost on the pricing page.
