Turn a LinkedIn profile into a client-ready CV
Plenty of strong candidates don't have an up-to-date CV, especially passive candidates you have sourced directly. With CVFormatter you paste the candidate's LinkedIn profile URL and get back a structured CV in your agency's branded template, with no copying, pasting or retyping.
CVFormatter works from the profile information available at that URL, organises it into the same sections as any other CV (summary, work history, education and skills) and applies your template. You can review and edit every field before downloading it as Word or PDF.
When recruiters use LinkedIn to CV conversion
- Passive candidates: present someone to a client before they have had time to update their CV.
- Business development: send a speculative profile to a prospective client quickly and in your brand.
- Fast shortlists: mix uploaded CVs and LinkedIn profiles in the same shortlist, all in one consistent format.
- Profile refresh: compare a candidate's LinkedIn profile with an older CV and send the more current version.
Good practice for LinkedIn-sourced CVs
LinkedIn profiles are often shorter than a full CV, so review the converted document and confirm dates, responsibilities and achievements with the candidate before it goes to a client. Under GDPR and similar laws your agency remains the data controller for candidate information, so make sure you have a lawful basis, such as the candidate's agreement, before sharing their profile.
If a profile is limited or private, simply upload the candidate's CV instead. It goes through exactly the same formatting process.
Customer story
How a global search team gets candidate profiles to clients in record time
“CVFormatter has really changed the game for how we produce profiles for positions that we're working on.”
Speed matters most when a role is live. This search team uses CVFormatter several times a day to produce client profiles quickly.
The challenge
Producing candidate profiles for live search assignments meant hours of manual CV formatting, admin work that took consultants away from candidates and clients.
What changed
Rachael's team found the implementation simple, with quick answers from the CVFormatter team whenever questions came up. She now uses CVFormatter several times a day to produce profiles for the positions her team is working on.
The result
The team no longer loses hours to formatting. As Rachael puts it: “CV Formatter is helping us quickly turn around profiles to be able to get these out to clients in record time.” That frees consultants for the core work of search.
LinkedIn to CV FAQs
- Do I need the candidate's CV to use LinkedIn import?
- No. Paste the LinkedIn profile URL and CVFormatter builds a formatted CV in your branded template from the profile information.
- What happens if the LinkedIn profile is limited?
- CVFormatter can only use the information available on the profile. If it is limited, upload the candidate's CV instead; it is formatted in exactly the same way.
- Can I edit the CV after importing from LinkedIn?
- Yes. Every extracted field can be reviewed and edited online before you download the Word or PDF file or share it by weblink.
- Can I mix LinkedIn profiles and uploaded CVs in one shortlist?
- Yes. LinkedIn imports and uploaded CVs go through the same process and come out in the same branded template, so a shortlist looks consistent whatever the source.
- Is importing LinkedIn profiles GDPR compliant?
- CVFormatter acts as your data processor and provides a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) on request. As the controller, your agency should make sure it has a lawful basis, such as the candidate's agreement, before sharing their profile with a client.
