Convert candidate LinkedIn profiles into branded, client-ready CVs
FormaCV is a LinkedIn to CV converter for recruiters: upload a candidate's LinkedIn profile export (PDF) and the AI rebuilds it into your agency-branded, ATS-safe CV in about 60 seconds, for $0.99 per CV. Built for recruitment agencies submitting candidates to clients — not a self-service CV builder for job seekers.
Works with the standard LinkedIn "Save to PDF" export — no browser extension, no scraping.
Why LinkedIn profiles make poor client submissions
Many strong candidates — especially passive ones — have no up-to-date CV at all. Their LinkedIn profile is the CV. But sending a raw LinkedIn PDF export to a client creates problems:
The export carries LinkedIn's branding, not your agency's
The candidate's contact details and profile URL are on it — the client can engage the candidate directly and bypass your introduction
The layout is a flat dump: no skills summary, no consistent structure across the candidates in a shortlist
It is not built to parse cleanly in the client's ATS
Retyping the profile into your agency template takes 20–30 minutes per candidate
How to convert a LinkedIn profile to a CV
Step 1
Export the profile from LinkedIn
On the candidate's profile, choose "More" → "Save to PDF". LinkedIn generates a PDF export of the profile.
Step 2
Upload the PDF to FormaCV
Drag the export into FormaCV — the AI reads a LinkedIn export the same way it reads any CV.
Step 3
AI rebuilds it into your agency template
Experience, skills, and education are restructured into your branded, ATS-safe template. Anonymize or tailor to a job spec in the same pass if needed.
Step 4
Review and deliver
Review and edit inside FormaCV, then export as DOCX or PDF — or push it to Bullhorn, JobAdder, or Vincere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a candidate's LinkedIn profile to a CV?
Yes. Export the profile as a PDF ("More" → "Save to PDF" on the candidate's profile), upload it to FormaCV, and the AI rebuilds it into your agency-branded, ATS-safe CV in about 60 seconds.
Is this a CV builder for job seekers?
No. FormaCV is B2B software for recruitment agencies and staffing firms. The LinkedIn to CV converter is built for recruiters preparing candidates for client submission — branded templates, anonymization, and ATS push included — not for individuals writing their own CV.
Does FormaCV scrape LinkedIn?
No. FormaCV works with the PDF export that LinkedIn itself provides on every profile. There is no browser extension, no scraping, and no LinkedIn login involved.
Can I turn a LinkedIn PDF export into a CV in my own agency template?
Yes — unlimited branded templates per branch, user, company, or client are included on every plan. The LinkedIn export is rebuilt directly into whichever template you choose.
What does it cost to convert LinkedIn profiles to CVs?
$0.99 per CV, pay-as-you-go — no per-seat fees, no monthly minimums. The 30-day free trial requires no credit card.
What if the LinkedIn profile is incomplete or outdated?
The AI structures whatever is in the export, and you review and edit before sending — missing details can be added in the FormaCV editor in seconds. If you have also run a screening call, the call transcript to CV feature captures what the profile leaves out.
