No more retyping CVs
A recruiter used to retype each candidate's education and experience into a template. Now AI reads the CV and puts the details in the house style.

AI CVs in house style
AI turns any candidate's CV into the house style, photo included, so every school receives the same polished document.
What it is
Derec is a Dutch staffing agency for education. When a recruiter introduces a candidate to a school, they send along a CV in Derec's house style. I built a solution in which AI reads a candidate's CV and converts it to that house style, photo included. The recruiter then reads the CV through and downloads it.

What it improves
Every CV looks the same
Every CV gets the same structure and layout. That way a school can compare candidates on substance, not on design.
The photo is put in by itself
A recruiter used to cut out the photo and put it in by hand. Now AI takes the photo from the original CV and puts it in the right spot in the document.
The problem
BEFORE
Retyping every CV into a template
A candidate supplies a CV in a form of their own. Derec sends the CV to a school in its house style. For that, a recruiter retyped the details into a Word template and added a photo. That happened again for every candidate. Every recruiter also did it slightly differently.

The solution
THE CV
Any CV can go in
A recruiter uploads the CV as a PDF or Word file in a chat, or types in the details.

THE DRAFT
AI fills in the fixed structure
AI extracts the details from the CV and puts them in Derec's fixed structure: profile, experience and education. The recruiter sees a draft first.

THE PHOTO
AI picks the photo from the CV
A CV often holds more images than just a photo, such as a logo or a certificate. The system takes those images out of the CV. Then AI picks the candidate's profile photo and puts it in the document.

THE DOCUMENT
A Word file in the house style
The result is a Word file in Derec's layout. The recruiter can still edit that file afterwards.

CONTROL
AI adds nothing without showing it
AI works with what is in the CV and what the recruiter adds. If a period or a place is missing, AI fills it in and the draft shows that AI did so. What AI cannot find shows as unknown in the draft. The system sends the CV nowhere automatically. The recruiter reads it through and sends it personally.

How it works
From a CV in a form of its own to a CV in the house style: a conversation between a recruiter and AI, in four steps.
- 1
Upload the CV
The recruiter opens a chat and uploads the candidate's CV.
- 2
Read the draft
AI puts the details in the fixed structure and picks the photo. The draft appears beside the chat. Colours show what AI added and what is still missing.
- 3
Add and adjust
The recruiter adds what is missing. The recruiter can also ask for changes in plain language, a shorter profile for example. After every addition, AI makes a new draft.
- 4
Create the final CV
When the draft is right, the recruiter creates the final CV. They download it as a Word file and send it to the school personally.
