The four themes we hear most often
Time back
"Roughly 80% of their time" and "hours into minutes" — formatting stops eating the week.
Accuracy
"Nothing else came close on accuracy" — especially on scans, designed PDFs and long CVs.
Consistency
Every CV "to our agency standard", whichever consultant sends it.
Volume
"Close to 50 formatted CVs to clients each week" without adding headcount.
What FormatMyCV changes for a desk
Every kind of recruitment team
Accuracy and discretion for senior shortlists
Search consultants value accuracy on long, complex senior CVs and the ability to present every candidate in the firm's exact house style — anonymised when a search is confidential.
One standard across every consultant
Agencies use FormatMyCV to replace hours of manual formatting and the "ChatGPT chaos" of consultants improvising their own approaches.
Volume without temporary staff
Teams that used to bring in part-time help for spikes now absorb them with bulk processing and email-based formatting.
The typical customer journey
- Before
Formatting by hand
20–40 minutes per CV, different results from each consultant, evening catch-up before client deadlines.
- Day 1
First CVs formatted
Ten free CVs — including the hardest examples — formatted and compared with the manual version.
- Day 2–3
Custom template live
The agency's house style rebuilt as a template and set as the team default.
- Week 1–2
Whole team onboarded
Unlimited seats mean every consultant is added; email-based formatting switched on.
- Ongoing
Time back to recruiting
Formatting drops to a quick review, and the hours go back into candidates and clients.
