A whole longlist, formatted in one batch
RPO programmes, tenders, graduate intakes and database refreshes all mean hundreds of CVs in one format by one deadline. FormatMyCV formats up to 100 at a time — mixed file types, one template, optional anonymisation.
- 100 CVs per batch
- Mixed PDFs, Word & scans
- One ZIP to submit
Three steps, one massive batch
Upload up to 100 CVs
Drop a folder, drag a longlist or upload a ZIP of PDFs, Word files and scans.
Choose template & rules
Pick the client template and whether to anonymise — the same rules apply to every CV.
Review & download
Spot-check in the live queue, then download everything as one ZIP.
Any team that handles CVs in stacks, not singles

| People needed | Several consultants or temp staff | One person to run and spot-check |
| Consistency | Drifts with fatigue and people | Identical template for all 100 |
| Anonymisation | Redact each CV by hand | One switch for the batch |
| Error risk | Copy-paste errors, missed contact details | Flags unreadable files with reasons |
| Delivery | Folder of mixed files | One organised ZIP |

Is your batch ready to run?
Five quick checks before you press go on a large batch:
- All files in one folder or ZIP, duplicates removed
- No password-protected PDFs
- The correct client template selected
- Anonymisation decided for the whole batch
- A named person responsible for spot-checks
Candidate data, handled carefully
Large batches mean large amounts of personal data. Every batch gets the same protection.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest — CVs are protected from upload to export.
- Access controls and audit logs — only your workspace can see your candidates, and exports are logged.
- Retrieve or delete on demand — respond quickly to candidate data requests.
- GDPR-friendly workflows — anonymise before sharing and keep only what each stage needs.
- No copy-pasting into public chatbots — consultants use the AI tools inside the FormatMyCV editor instead.
Key terms explained
Plain-English definitions of the terms used on this page.
- Bulk CV formatting
Converting a large set of candidate CVs into one standard format in a single operation — common for RPO programmes, tenders, graduate intakes and volume staffing.
- Batch processing
Handling many files in one operation instead of one at a time. In CV formatting, batch processing converts a whole set of CVs into one template in a single run — up to 100 CVs per batch in FormatMyCV.
- RPO (recruitment process outsourcing)
An arrangement where an employer outsources all or part of its recruitment to an external provider, which often handles high volumes of CVs for many hiring managers.
- Tender
A formal bid to supply services, often to the public sector. Recruitment tenders frequently require CVs of proposed staff in a specific, sometimes anonymised, format.
Bulk CV formatting FAQs
What is bulk CV formatting?
Bulk CV formatting converts a large set of candidate CVs into one standard, branded template in a single operation. With FormatMyCV you upload up to 100 CVs of mixed file types, choose a template and optional anonymisation, track progress in a live queue and download the finished set as a ZIP.
Who needs bulk CV formatting?
RPO providers, staffing agencies, teams responding to tenders and frameworks, graduate and early-careers recruiters, and anyone reformatting an existing CV database into a new house style.
How long does a 100-CV batch take?
The formatting itself runs in minutes. Most of the elapsed time is the team's spot-check review, which is typically a minute or so per CV that needs attention.
Can a batch be anonymised?
Yes. Switch on anonymisation for the batch and every CV is exported as a blind CV with the same fields removed — essential for many tender evaluations.
What if we have more than 100 CVs?
Run several batches back to back. Pro includes up to 700 CVs per month, and extra CV credits or custom volumes are available.
