FormaCV vs iReformat: which resume formatter fits your staffing agency?
Both tools automate resume formatting for staffing agencies. iReformat sells custom volume-based pricing through a call; FormaCV publishes $0.99 per resume and lets you sign up self-serve the same day.
Overview
FormaCV and iReformat both use AI to format candidate resumes for staffing agencies, and the biggest practical difference is how you buy them. FormaCV publishes its price — $0.99 per resume, pay-as-you-go, around 60 seconds per resume — with a self-serve 30-day free trial and no credit card. iReformat offers customized pricing based on your volume with unlimited user access; you schedule a call to set up a free trial.
iReformat is built for the US staffing market: bulk processing, LLM-based parsing it says extracts 50+ data points, SOC 2 compliance, and a Bullhorn integration, with the company reporting 600+ agencies and over a million resumes processed. FormaCV covers US staffing too, but adds the pieces agencies placing across the US, UK, and Europe ask for: GDPR anonymization and blind resumes, EU data residency with signed DPAs, 40+ language translation, screening-call transcript inputs (Otter, Fireflies, Gong, Fathom), JobAdder and Vincere integrations alongside Bullhorn, and a native MCP server.
