Candidate presentation template in PowerPoint
A candidate presentation is a short deck that presents one candidate to a client in depth, on screen or at the meeting, instead of a Word profile. This PowerPoint template has five slides in the firm's design: a cover with the candidate's photo, current role, the role proposed for and who is presenting; the candidate at a glance, with a headline, summary, areas of expertise and key facts; the career history with the main result of each role; key achievements, each with its headline figure; and education with the consultant's competency ratings, view and next steps. Formatix fills the facts from the CV; ratings, the view and next steps come only from the consultant's notes.
Some clients want to be walked through a candidate, not handed a document. A deck built by hand for each candidate takes an hour and never looks the same twice. This one is filled from the CV in the firm's design, so the consultant's time goes on the assessment slide.
10 free credits, no card needed. One credit fills one document.
An editable file with neutral branding and a fictional example candidate, to fill in by hand. Formatix fills it automatically from a CV.

Questions about this template
- What slides does the candidate presentation have?
- Five: a cover with the photo, name, current role, the role proposed for, the client and the presenter; the candidate at a glance, with headline, profile summary, areas of expertise and key facts such as experience, largest remit, sectors, languages and notice period; the career history; key achievements with their figures; and education with the consultant's assessment, view and next steps.
- Where do the ratings and the view come from?
- From the consultant's notes only. Competency ratings are shown when the notes score them; with no notes, that part stays empty, or says the assessment follows the interview when the notes say one is planned.
- How is it different from the shortlist deck?
- The shortlist deck sets several candidates side by side against the brief. The candidate presentation gives one candidate five slides. Firms often send the shortlist deck first and a candidate presentation for the preferred candidate.
- Are the achievement figures checked?
- Each figure is taken exactly as the CV or notes give it; nothing is computed, rounded or converted, and an achievement with no figure is shown without one.
- Can I download this template?
- Yes. A free, editable PowerPoint version with neutral branding and fictional example content is on this page, to fill in by hand. To have it rebuilt in your brand and filled automatically, use it in Formatix; what you keep is an editable PowerPoint file.
