How much time do recruiters spend formatting CVs?

Recruiters typically spend around 30 minutes formatting each CV, time that delays getting candidates in front of hiring managers. With Allsorter, agencies reduce this to around 4 minutes per CV, saving +85% of the time. In a competitive market, speed is what gets your best candidates there first.

Why is CV formatting so time-consuming?

CV formatting means aligning candidate information with agency branding, keeping layouts consistent and making the CV easy to read. Done by hand, recruiters adjust fonts, styles and layouts one document at a time, which is labour-intensive and prone to errors. It takes time away from core work like candidate sourcing and hiring manager conversations.
