French candidate summary template (synthèse de candidature)
The synthèse de candidature is the note a French recruitment or search consultant sends the client with a shortlisted candidate's CV. This Word template is written entirely in French. It opens with the poste visé, the client, the mission reference, the consultant and the date, then the candidate's name, current job and town. A Conditions band shows current and expected pay, notice period and availability as the candidate stated them. Then come the consultant's view, the motivations, the points forts and the points de vigilance, followed by a short career, training and languages. Formatix writes it from the CV and your interview notes.
The client reads the synthèse before the CV, so it has to say what you heard in the interview rather than summarise the CV again. In this template the motivations and points de vigilance come only from your notes. Formatix never draws one from the CV, from a short job or a change of sector. With no notes, those sections stay empty.
10 free credits, no card needed. One credit fills one document.
For recruitment and search firms. Formatix formats your candidates' CVs into your firm's template; it is not a tool for writing your own CV.
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
- Is the synthèse in French?
- Yes, entirely, even when the CV or your notes are in English. Company, school and diploma names stay as written.
- Where do the points de vigilance come from?
- From your notes only. Points forts can come from your notes or from facts in the CV that match the role, never from an adjective alone.
- How is pay shown?
- Exactly as the candidate or your notes state it, with the unit and terms given, such as "62 k€ brut annuel fixe + 10 % de variable". Nothing is estimated from the job title.
- Can I download this template?
- Yes. A free, editable Word version with neutral branding and a fictional example candidate is on this page, to fill in by hand. To have it rebuilt in your brand and filled automatically, use it in Formatix; you keep an editable Word file.
- Is there a French version of this page?
- Yes, at /fr/modeles/synthese-de-candidature.
