How it works

Four steps. One record. No guessing.

The expensive part of a submission is not choosing a font — it is checking the source, resolving ambiguity and knowing the exported file is the version you approved.

  1. 01

    Upload

    PDF or DOCX in. The original stays attached to the job, so what the candidate actually sent is always one click away.

    sarah-mitchell.docx
    pdf · docx · drop to queue
  2. 02

    Review the record

    One structured record with confidence rails and alternative readings. Uncertainty is shown, never silently resolved.

    Apply the brand

    An approved template, your logo and colours. Presentation is decided once, not re-improvised per candidate.

AI with boundaries

Improve the writing. Lock the evidence.

The AI here is not one switch. It is four explicit modes — from a formatting pass that makes no model call at all, to a full rewrite that a deterministic guard checks figure by figure, or rejects.

  • Format-only mode makes no AI call. Wording stays fixed; only whitespace and duplicate cleanup precede layout.
  • Employers, titles and dates are restored verbatim; figures must keep their count, role and lexical clause anchors or the rewrite is rejected.
  • Prose meaning is never auto-approved — each rewrite lands as a reviewable, undoable before/after diff.
  • Your corrections are reapplied after every rewrite.
Your template

Your firm already has a template. Rebuild it here.

Page geometry, named text styles, colour, rules, columns, and your logo dragged to the millimetre — with the page redrawing as you go. Change it whenever you like, without asking anyone. Build it once, and every candidate lands in it identically.

Recorded in the builder — an untouched default to a finished branded template.

Redaction policy

The unredacted record stays yours. The export follows the policy.

Blind CVs

Anonymise by policy, not by hand.

When a client asks for blind CVs, toggle the fields once — redaction is applied across every field, prose included, then checked for anything left visible before you export.

What is CV formatting software?

Software that takes a CV in whatever layout it arrived in and produces a consistently formatted document from it: it reads the text, works out the sections and sets the same content in a chosen template. Recruitment agencies use it to put every candidate on their own branded template before a client sees them; individuals use it to move their own CV into a cleaner layout.

How does ConnectIQ format a CV?

Upload the CV as a PDF or Word file. ConnectIQ reads it into one structured record with every value linked back to where it came from on the original page, you check and correct that record, pick a template, choose whether the AI should touch the wording, and export PDF and Word from the same approved version.

Will the AI change what the candidate wrote?

Only if you ask it to, and only as far as you choose. There are four modes: Format only makes no rewrite call at all, Tidy corrects spelling and grammar, Polish improves phrasing and Transform rewrites the prose. Employers, titles, dates and qualifications are restored word for word, and every change is shown as a before-and-after you approve.

Can we use our agency's own CV template?

Yes. On paid plans you build it in the browser from controlled choices (layout, fonts, colours, logo slot, section order) with no setup fee, or start from one of the 57 stock templates. See CV formatting software for recruitment agencies.

Does ConnectIQ integrate with Bullhorn, JobAdder or Vincere?

Not today. ConnectIQ works alongside your ATS or CRM: you export the formatted CV as PDF or Word and attach it to the candidate record. Integrations are on the roadmap, not built.

What is the 7 second rule for a CV?

It comes from an eye-tracking study by the jobs site Ladders, which in 2018 found recruiters spent an average of 7.4 seconds on a first scan of a resume. It measures the decision to keep reading rather than a full assessment, and it is the best argument for a consistent template: a client who always finds the current role, the dates and the availability line in the same place decides faster.

Is there a free CV formatter?

Your first conversion on ConnectIQ is free with no card: a real export, not a preview, with every template and AI mode included. See the plans.
