What features should recruitment agencies look for in CV formatting software?

Recruitment agencies should look for CV formatting software with native ATS integration, high extraction accuracy and proven compliance with data protection rules. Allsorter offers all three: it saves +85% of the time spent on CV formatting, delivers 99.9% extraction accuracy, integrates natively with six ATS platforms, and is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified.

Why is native ATS integration important?

Native integration moves CVs between the formatting software and your ATS without manual downloads, uploads or re-keying. That reduces data entry, cuts errors and speeds up submissions. Allsorter integrates natively with Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, Mercury, Tracker and Salesforce: a CV is pulled from the candidate record, formatted and pushed straight back.

How does data extraction accuracy affect CV formatting?

Formatting is only as good as the data underneath it. If extraction misses or misreads details, recruiters have to check and correct every CV by hand. Allsorter's 99.9% extraction accuracy means candidate information is captured correctly and laid out consistently in your branding, so candidates are presented professionally with minimal manual correction.

Why is compliance with data protection regulations essential?

CV formatting means processing candidates' personal data, so the software has to meet data protection rules. Allsorter is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, and formats CVs inside the platform with no offshore data handling. That protects candidates, maintains trust with clients and supports agencies operating across multiple jurisdictions.

What additional features enhance CV formatting software?

Multilingual support and flexible formatting options make a tool useful across more roles and markets. Allsorter supports 29 languages and offers two formatting modes: Full Reformat, which rebuilds the CV into your branded template, and Preserve Original, which applies your branding without restructuring the candidate's layout.

How does Allsorter improve recruitment outcomes?

By cutting CV formatting from around 30 minutes to 4 minutes, Allsorter gives recruiters time back for core recruitment work. Allsorter customers have seen the impact: Experis reported an 80% efficiency increase and a 15% rise in placements, and Michael Page achieved a 5.5x ROI.
