Tailor every CV to the vacancy with one natural-language prompt
Recruiters paste a vacancy and tell the AI what to do — bold candidate information matching the role, deprioritize or remove irrelevant content, translate the CV, adapt phrasing per client, or follow any other natural-language instruction. Unlimited usage is included in the $0.99 per-CV price on every plan.
Unlimited AI prompting and tailoring — every plan, no usage cap.
The recruiter problem we solve
A modern recruitment desk submits the same candidate to multiple clients with different requirements. Manual rewrites add 5–15 minutes per submission and introduce inconsistency:
A senior engineer's CV needs Python emphasised for a fintech and Kubernetes emphasised for a platform role
A polyglot candidate's Polish CV needs to land in English for a UK client
Confidential profiles for executive search need certain career steps demoted or removed
Different clients (banks, scaleups, agencies) want different tone and structure
Long CVs need irrelevant projects deprioritised without losing the original record
How AI tailoring works
Step 1
Open any candidate CV in FormaCV
Works on every input — PDF, DOCX, LinkedIn export, transcript. The original is always kept on file.
Step 2
Paste the vacancy or write an instruction
Paste the JD, paste the client brief, or just type "translate to English and emphasise Python and AWS experience".
Step 3
AI tailors the CV
FormaCV applies the instruction across the whole CV in seconds — bolding matches, demoting irrelevant sections, translating, or rewriting per your prompt.
Step 4
Review, export, send
Review inside FormaCV (edits are saved per candidate), export to your branded template, and submit to the client.

AI CV rewriting for recruiters
AI CV rewriting for recruiters is different from consumer "AI resume writers". A recruiter is not creating a CV from nothing — they are adapting a real candidate's real experience to a specific job spec, often several times for several clients. FormaCV is built around that workflow: paste the vacancy and the AI rewrites the candidate's CV against it — reordering experience so the most relevant roles lead, bolding the skills the job spec asks for, rewriting the summary in the client's terminology, and demoting projects that do not serve this submission. The AI only works with what is in the source CV; it never invents experience, and the original is always kept on file. The time savings are straightforward: a recruiter tailoring 30 CVs a week saves 5–10 minutes per submission versus manual rewrites — 2.5 to 5 hours reclaimed every week — and unlimited rewriting is included in the $0.99 per-CV price.
Use case examples
IT staffing — auto-translate a Polish candidate CV into English while bolding the AWS, Python, and Kubernetes skills the UK fintech client cares about
Executive search — adapt a confidential profile to each client brief: hide current employer, emphasise governance experience for one mandate, transformation experience for another
Staffing agency — paste the JD, instruct "demote anything not relevant to this role" and submit the same candidate to multiple clients without rewriting from scratch
Healthcare recruiting — translate clinical credentials and bold specialty matches per posting
Multilingual EU desks — keep one master CV per candidate, generate localised English/French/German output per client
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI tailoring included in the per-CV price?
Yes. Unlimited AI tailoring and prompting is included in the $0.99 per-CV price on every plan. No add-on, no usage cap.
How is this different from "AI CV writing" tools?
AI CV writers create CVs from scratch (often inventing experience). FormaCV adapts existing candidate CVs to a target role using only the candidate's real content. The original is always kept on file.
What languages are supported?
40+ languages with AI-powered translation, including English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, and more.
Can I save a tailoring instruction as a template?
Yes. Frequently-used prompts (e.g. "translate to English, bold cloud skills, demote pre-2017 roles") can be saved per template, per client, per branch, or per user — unlimited templates included on every plan.
Does the AI invent or fabricate experience?
No. The AI works only with what is in the source CV. It can re-emphasise, translate, or restructure — it cannot add experience the candidate does not have.
Can I use my own AI infrastructure for this?
Yes — FormaCV exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface so you can drive tailoring from your own AI agents, internal copilots, Claude Desktop, or Cursor. See the MCP support page.
Can FormaCV rewrite a candidate CV to match a job spec?
Yes. Paste the job spec and instruct the AI — it reorders experience, bolds matching skills, rewrites the summary in the client's language, and demotes irrelevant content, using only the candidate's real experience. Unlimited rewrites are included in the $0.99 per-CV price.
