Adding information that wasn't on the original CV
Add expected salary, notice period, right-to-work status, recruiter contact details or your own notes to a candidate CV before sending it to a client.
Anything you learned about a candidate outside their CV can be added in the RemakeCV editor before download. Common additions are expected salary, notice period, availability, right-to-work status, the consultant's own contact details and a note for the client. These fields can be built into your template so they appear in the same place every time.
What do agencies usually add?
The information that wins placements is rarely on the CV. It comes out of the screening call.
| Field | Why clients want it |
|---|---|
| Expected salary | Filters out mismatches before an interview is arranged |
| Notice period / availability | Determines whether the candidate fits the start date |
| Right to work / visa status | A hard gate on many roles |
| Location and willingness to relocate | Increasingly decisive for hybrid roles |
| Reason for leaving | Context a CV never gives |
| Consultant name and contact | So the client knows who to call |
| Client-facing note | Your pitch for why this candidate fits this role |
How do I add them?
Open the CV in the editor and add the values to the relevant fields. If your template includes dedicated slots for them, they are already there waiting — you are filling in a form, not designing a layout.
If you find yourself typing the same field into every CV, it belongs in your template. Email support@remakecv.com and we will add it — see requesting a custom template.
Can I add a whole extra section?
Yes. Additional sections — references, project portfolios, publications, security clearance — can be added per CV in the editor, or built into your template so they appear every time.
Reprocess first, then add
Reprocessing re-runs extraction against the source document. It has no knowledge of anything you typed by hand, so manual additions do not survive it.
The practical order is:
Process the CV
Upload and let the AI extract.
Fix any structural problems
If the parse is wrong, reprocess or correct it now — before you invest typing time.
Add your own information
Salary, notice period, notes, consultant details.
Download
Generate the final DOCX or PDF.
Does adding information cost a credit?
No. Everything after the initial processing step is free — see how credits and usage work.
Frequently asked questions
- Can custom fields appear on every CV automatically?
- Yes. Fields such as expected salary or consultant contact details can be built into your template so they render in a fixed place on every CV, ready for you to fill in.
- Will added information survive if I reprocess the CV?
- Reprocessing re-runs extraction from the source document. Anything you typed manually is not in the source, so add it after your final reprocess rather than before.
- Can I add a section that isn't in my template?
- Additional sections can be added in the editor. If you want a section on every CV permanently, ask us to add it to your template instead.
