Our Verdict
If you are an enterprise recruitment agency or RPO where ISO 27001 certification is a procurement requirement and Bullhorn is your primary ATS, Allsorter is the safer shortlist pick today. If you want $0.99/CV pay-as-you-go, unlimited AI prompting, whitelabel or on-premise deployment, and a pipeline that can handle call transcripts alongside CVs, FormaCV fits your operation better — at a fraction of the procurement effort.
When to choose FormaCV
Your team needs unlimited AI prompting and CV tailoring without per-prompt fees
You want MCP support so your existing AI tools (Claude, GPT, internal LLMs) can talk to your CV pipeline
Your enterprise procurement requires whitelabel or on-premise deployment (your data never leaves your infra)
You bill clients monthly with variable volume — $0.99/CV beats fixed monthly commitments for variable workload
Your pipeline includes call transcripts, LinkedIn exports, or email-pasted experience
You want self-serve same-day signup with a 30-day free trial, no sales cycle
When to choose Allsorter
ISO 27001 certification is a procurement requirement — Allsorter has it today, FormaCV is still in progress
You are Bullhorn-deep and want a tool that has been built around Bullhorn workflows for years
You need the unique "one-click format that preserves the original document" mode for compliance workflows where the original layout must be retained
You prefer enterprise procurement (custom quotes, onboarding-led) over self-serve signup
You are a very large RPO negotiating custom enterprise pricing and contract terms
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FormaCV ISO 27001 certified like Allsorter?
Not yet — ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are in progress on our security roadmap. Allsorter has the cert today. If ISO 27001 is a procurement requirement, Allsorter currently meets it and FormaCV does not. That said, FormaCV does offer whitelabel + on-premise deployment and isolated per-customer infrastructure, which addresses many of the same data-residency concerns procurement teams raise.
Does FormaCV preserve the original CV like Allsorter's one-click mode?
No — FormaCV always reformats into your branded template (a branded re-build, not a preservation of the original layout). If you specifically need to preserve the original document layout for compliance, Allsorter's one-click mode is purpose-built for that.
Which is cheaper, FormaCV or Allsorter?
Hard to say without an Allsorter quote. FormaCV publishes pricing at $0.99/CV pay-as-you-go with no per-seat fees. Allsorter quotes Elite plans at custom rates for teams of 5+ users — you need to contact sales for an exact comparison. For variable-volume agencies, $0.99/CV almost always beats per-seat pricing.
Can Allsorter do call transcript handling like FormaCV?
To our knowledge, no. FormaCV is the only formatter we know that handles screening call transcripts (Otter, Fireflies, Gong) as a first-class input. Allsorter is CV-file focused.
Can I migrate from Allsorter to FormaCV?
Yes — upload your existing branded templates to FormaCV and start formatting immediately. No data migration; CVs are processed on demand. For annual customers, 1 free custom integration is included (so migrating your Bullhorn flow is covered).
