Manual CV formatting is costing your agency hours every week

30 to 60 minutes per CV, manually.

Your consultants spend more time in Word than on the phone with clients.

10 seconds, automatic.

Upload, get a branded CV. Done.

Inconsistent branding across your team.

Six recruiters, six different-looking CVs going to the same client.

One template, every CV.

Set your branded template once. Every CV matches automatically.

Copy-paste errors lose candidate data.

Phone numbers, skills, employment dates lost in translation.

AI parsing, 99%+ accuracy.

Every field extracted correctly. Review before you download.

Per-seat pricing that scales badly.

20 consultants x $25/seat = $500/month for formatting.

Unlimited seats, flat pricing.

Add your whole agency. The price stays the same.

The hidden cost of manual formatting

CV formatting isn't free. It's buried in your team's hours.

Every CV a consultant rebuilds by hand is time off the phone and a cost on your P&L. Here is what it adds up to, before and after RefineCV.

And that is only the hours you save

A cleaner, consistent, ATS-readable submission gets your candidate in front of the client instead of lost in their system. Win just one extra placement per consultant this year. Across a 10-recruiter desk, at a standard 20% fee on a $100,000 hire, that is new billings of

$200,000 $20,000 per placement, ten recruiters, one extra win each

Branded for the client, ATS-friendly for their system. Pick a single-column, text-based layout (Corporate, Executive, Precision, Minimal) and the CV stays readable when your client uploads it into their ATS.

Figures assume 30 minutes to reformat one CV by hand versus about 10 seconds with RefineCV, a $30 per hour loaded cost, and 48 working weeks. RefineCV from $0.25 per CV. Your numbers will vary.

A tool, not a prompt

You could paste it into ChatGPT. Here is why agencies don't.

RefineCV runs on the same class of AI. The difference is everything around it: your branding, a real document, your team's consistency, and your candidates' data kept private.

Frequently asked questions

Is my candidate data safe?

Yes. When you upload a CV, we extract the data and generate a branded document. The original file is deleted immediately after processing. We do not store raw candidate data in our database. The only thing we keep is the formatted CV itself, stored in GDPR-compliant secure storage so your team can re-download it from the history page without being charged again. If you prefer not to have history at all, let us know and we will disable it for your agency entirely.

What file formats do you support?

PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT, ODT, RTF, and Apple Pages. We also handle scanned documents and image-based PDFs via OCR. If a candidate sends it, we can format it.

How fast is the formatting?

Most CVs are formatted in under 10 seconds. Complex or scanned documents may take up to 30 seconds. You see a progress indicator while it processes.

Can you build our agency template for us?

Yes, and it is free. Send us your existing CV template as a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint file and we rebuild it in your account. No setup fee, no per-template fee, and edits are always free. You can also build and edit templates yourself in the builder. Free template builds are included with any paid plan.

Do you charge per user?

No. Every plan includes unlimited team seats. Add your whole agency. Consultants, resourcers, managers. All at no extra cost. We will never charge per seat.

What if the AI misreads something on the CV?

You review and edit all extracted data before generating the final document. Nothing goes to a client without your approval. You can tweak any field (job titles, dates, skills) and re-export instantly.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

None. Free CVs never expire. Pay As You Go has no monthly fee. Pro can be cancelled anytime. No penalties, no lock-in.
