What is RemakeCV?
RemakeCV is an AI CV formatting platform for recruitment agencies. It reformats candidate CVs into your branded template, anonymises personal details and syncs with your ATS.
RemakeCV is an AI CV formatting platform built for recruitment agencies. You upload a candidate CV in PDF, DOCX or DOC, and RemakeCV extracts the content, reformats it into your agency's branded template, and returns a finished DOCX or PDF. It also anonymises candidates, writes summaries, and syncs with major ATS platforms.
What problem does RemakeCV solve?
Recruitment consultants spend a large share of every week retyping candidate CVs into an agency template. The source documents arrive in every conceivable layout — two-column designs, scanned PDFs, CVs written in the first person, CVs with the employment history in reverse order.
RemakeCV automates that step. It reads the source document, works out which text is a job title, which is an employer, which is a date range and which is a bullet point, then rebuilds the whole document inside your template.

How is it different from a CV template?
A template is a blank document you still have to fill in. RemakeCV does the filling in.
The difference matters most on messy inputs. A scanned PDF has no machine-readable structure at all — RemakeCV runs OCR over it, then reconstructs the sections. A two-column CV has text that reads in the wrong order when copied and pasted — RemakeCV works out the intended reading order before rebuilding the document.
If you already have an agency CV template in Word, you do not need to redesign it. Send it to us and we rebuild it in RemakeCV exactly as it stands — typically within 24 hours. See requesting a custom template.
How does RemakeCV fit into your stack?
RemakeCV is the formatting and presentation layer, and it is built to sit alongside the tools you already run:
- It works with your ATS, not against it. Your ATS stays the system of record; RemakeCV connects to it and hands the finished document back. See integrations overview.
- It stays faithful to the candidate's CV. RemakeCV restructures and presents what the candidate wrote rather than authoring claims on their behalf — which is exactly what makes the output safe to send to a client. Anything you want to add is a field in the editor.
- You decide what is retained. CV storage is a company-level setting with a retention window you control, so RemakeCV holds candidate data on your terms. See GDPR and data retention.

Frequently asked questions
- Who is RemakeCV for?
- Recruitment agencies, executive search firms and in-house talent teams that send branded candidate CVs to clients. It is built around agency workflows rather than individual job seekers.
- Does RemakeCV write the CV for the candidate?
- No. RemakeCV reformats and restructures the CV the candidate already wrote. It can generate a summary and neutralise first-person language, but it does not invent experience that is not in the source document.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. RemakeCV runs in the browser. There is also a public REST API if you want to build it into your own tooling.
