Formatting CVs for creative roles
Designers, art directors, copywriters and motion artists rarely send plain CVs. Their documents are designed pieces of work, with multi-column layouts, graphics and embedded links, and their portfolio usually matters more than the CV itself. That makes them both hard to standardise and risky to strip down.
CVFormatter extracts the content from even design-heavy PDFs and image-based CVs and presents it in your agency's branded template, keeping portfolio links front and centre so clients go straight to the work.
Your brand, their portfolio
- Portfolio links highlighted: Behance, Dribbble and personal site URLs kept and placed where clients will see them.
- Consistent presentation: every creative candidate presented in the same professional format, making shortlists easy to compare.
- Summaries that sell: an optional AI summary of each candidate's disciplines, tools and notable clients.
- Fast turnaround: creative briefs move quickly, and CVs are ready in seconds rather than hours.
Why creative agencies standardise CVs
Clients compare candidates more fairly when the CVs look the same. A standard format removes the advantage of whoever made the most eye-catching document and puts attention on experience and portfolio quality, while your branding reminds the client who introduced the talent.
Because the original CV is always kept in your history, you can still send the candidate's own designed version alongside your branded profile when a client asks for it.
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.”
Agencies win briefs by getting the right profiles to clients first. Here is how one search team turns profiles around in record time.
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.
