Reviewing and editing a parsed CV
Every extracted section can be edited before download — job titles, employers, dates, bullet points, skills and education — with the original document alongside for comparison.
After processing, RemakeCV shows every extracted section in an editor. You can correct any field, reorder or delete entries and bullet points, and add content. If you have the original-CV preview enabled, the source document sits alongside for comparison. Edits do not consume credits.
What should I check first?
Work top-down and check the fields a client reads first:
Candidate name and contact details
Especially on scanned CVs, where names in header graphics are the most common OCR casualty.
The most recent job title and employer
This is the line a client scans before anything else. Confirm a client name or division has not been picked up as the employer.
Date ranges
Check for roles that should be open-ended, unusual date formats, and any range that looks implausible.
Bullet attribution
Where a candidate held several roles at one employer, confirm each set of bullets sits under the right role.
Section completeness
Compare against the original: is every section from the source present in the output?
What can I edit?
Everything the parser produced:
| Section | Editable |
|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, email, phone, location |
| Profile / summary | Free text, or AI-generated |
| Work experience | Employer, title, location, dates, bullet points; reorder and delete entries |
| Education | Institution, qualification, dates |
| Qualifications and certifications | Name, body, date |
| Skills | Categories and individual items |
| Additional sections | Custom sections defined by your template |
Which of these you see depends on your template — not every agency has qualifications, certifications or personal-details sections enabled.
Can I add content that wasn't in the CV?
Yes — details you gathered on a call, expected salary, notice period, right-to-work status, your own notes for the client. See adding information that wasn't on the original CV.
If a CV needs heavy correction across many sections, reprocessing is often faster than editing — and it does not cost a credit. Parsing is not deterministic in the trivial sense, so a second pass sometimes resolves an ambiguous layout. If it comes back the same way, see the formatted CV looks wrong.
Does editing change the original file?
No. The original document is untouched. The editor works on the structured data extracted from it, and the download is generated fresh from that data each time.
Frequently asked questions
- Do edits cost credits?
- No. A credit covers processing the CV. Editing, regenerating and re-downloading are all free after that.
- Can I see the original CV while editing?
- If the original-CV preview is enabled on your account. It is a per-user setting, so a colleague may see the source pane when you do not. Note that enabling it stores the candidate's original file on our servers.
- Can I reorder work experience entries?
- Yes — entries and bullet points can be dragged into a different order, and individual entries removed if a role is not relevant. The order of the sections themselves comes from your template.
