Our resume formatting and processing services in detail What each service covers, and what you get back
CV formatting to your firm's template
Candidates send resumes in every layout, font and file type. We reformat each one to your template, with your logo, your section order and your fonts, so every candidate a client sees looks like it came from your firm.
We remove what your clients shouldn't see, such as a candidate's photo, home address or salary history, when your rules say so.
Content restructuring
A resume is only useful if a hiring manager finds the right skills quickly. We reorder sections, fix headers and footers, and bring the skills a role asks for to the top, without changing what the candidate wrote about their own work.
ATS-friendly resumes and resume data entry
Applicant tracking systems read plain structure best. We format resumes so the ATS reads them correctly, and we key each candidate's details into Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Workday or the system you run.
- Name, contact details and work history in the right fields
- Skills tagged to your own list
- Duplicate candidates flagged, never overwritten
Editing and proofreading
A typo in a client submission reflects on your firm. A person proofreads every resume for spelling, dates and contact details, and checks them against the candidate's original file.
Layout design for resumes
If you don't have a template yet, we design one with you. It uses a consistent font and size, clear headings and enough space to read, and it prints as well as it reads on screen.
Questions about resume formatting services What recruiters ask us before they send the first batch
What are resume formatting services?
Resume formatting services reformat candidates' resumes into one consistent layout, usually the template of a staffing firm or job board. They also restructure the content, proofread it, and often key the details into an applicant tracking system.
Who uses resume processing services?
Staffing firms, recruitment agencies, placement firms and job boards use them, as do HR teams that handle high-volume hiring. Each has many resumes to submit and a house style they must follow.
Do you change what the candidate wrote?
We change the layout and the order, and we fix spelling. We don't rewrite a candidate's description of their own work, and a person checks unclear dates and job titles rather than guessing them.
How do you keep candidates' personal data safe?
Only the people on your batch can open the resumes, and we work in your ATS or a secure folder you choose. Damco signs your confidentiality agreement before the first file.
How much do resume formatting services cost?
We price resume formatting per resume. A one-page resume costs less than a long technical CV, so we quote after formatting a sample batch.
