The 5 Most Questions We Get About CV Formatting (And Our Honest Answers)

Let’s face it, recruiters have been burned before. All these shiny promises to get a deal over the line then you’re left out in the cold. Thankfully, that’s the last thing we want so we always have answers to rightly asked questions, and we want you to know there’s no BS in it. When it comes to CV formatting for recruiters, time is of the essence. Enough time is wasted doing the manual work, so we don't want to waste any more of yours.

When we run an AssistCV demo, there are always a few raised eyebrows and skeptical glances. Fair enough. You’ve seen flashy tools promise the world… and then deliver a glorified PDF editor.

So, let’s cut the fluff. Here are the real questions our sales team get asked in almost every demo - and more importantly, our honest, straight-up answers.

  1. “Does it actually work?”
    Yes. It works. Even on the CVs that look like they were designed on a potato. Upload them, and AssistCV transforms them into something you'd actually want to send to a client.
  2. “Does the AI summarise the CV or change the candidate’s content?”
    Nope. We don’t mess with your candidate’s data (unless you want us to).
    Think of it like Gok Wan for CVs. We just tidy things up, style them in your branding, and make them shine.
  3. “How does it differ from demo to real life?”
    It doesn’t. What you see is exactly what you get.
    On the demo, we always try to use your templates and your CVs. No smoke, no mirrors.
  4. “How do we create and design templates?”
    Easy. Pick from our library or send us your existing designs. We’ll build them out for you - no Canva panics required.
  5. “How does support actually work?”
    You get a real human team who knows your setup.
    No need to upgrade to some gold-plated “enterprise plan” just to speak to someone who understands your use case.

Recruiters are skeptical - and rightly so. You've been promised smart AI technology that ends up being clunky, inflexible, or just… not that smart. AssistCV isn't here to add more steps and clicks. It's here to actually make your life easier and your candidates look better.

So if you're still on the fence, here’s a challenge:
