How does GDPR affect ATS integration with CV formatting software?
GDPR applies every time candidate data moves between your ATS and a CV formatting tool, so the integration needs to keep that data secure, limit who handles it and keep it out of uncontrolled places. Allsorter integrates natively with six ATS platforms and is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. CVs are pulled from the candidate record, formatted and pushed back within the platform, with no offshore formatting team and no need for recruiters to download and re-upload files.
How does GDPR compliance impact data handling?
Under GDPR, candidate data must be processed lawfully, kept secure and used only for the purpose it was collected for. For CV formatting, that means knowing exactly where a CV goes, who can see it and which systems process it. Allsorter is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, giving agencies a documented, secure process to point to when candidates or auditors ask.
What role does ATS integration play in GDPR compliance?
A direct integration reduces the number of times personal data is copied, emailed or stored outside the ATS. Allsorter integrates natively with Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, Mercury, Tracker and Salesforce: a CV is pulled from the candidate record, formatted and returned to the same record. Fewer manual hand-offs mean fewer stray copies of personal data and a clearer audit trail, which supports an agency's own GDPR obligations.
How does GDPR affect CV formatting?
Formatting a CV means processing the candidate's personal data, so the formatting method has to be compliant too. Sending CVs to an offshore team or pasting them into a public AI tool can move data outside your control. Allsorter formats and brands CVs within its own GDPR-compliant platform, so agencies keep control of where candidate data is processed.
What benefits does compliance offer to recruitment agencies?
Compliance reduces legal and reputational risk and builds trust with candidates and hiring managers. It also removes friction in procurement, where security questionnaires increasingly ask how candidate data is handled. A compliant, integrated formatting process lets recruiters focus on their core work instead of worrying about where CVs end up.

Allsorter is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, and its native ATS integrations keep CVs moving between the ATS and the platform without manual downloads. Combined with +85% time saved on CV formatting, agencies get a process that is both faster and easier to account for.
