5 partners — 5 different CV templates. Managers spend 20–40 minutes on each adaptation, up to 15 times a week. Over a year of this routine. No ready-made solutions found.

1. Describe the problem:

We are an outstaff company. Here's how our process works: our HR specialists find IT professionals, conduct interviews and technical screening, then adapt the resume to a single, unified CV template of our company.

Then our sales managers take this unified CV and send it to partners — companies looking for IT specialists through us.

And here's where the pain begins.

5 of our key partners have their own CV templates. And they're all different:

  • One has a strict corporate template with a logo
  • Another has an extended format with detailed project descriptions
  • A third has a minimalist version — just key skills
  • Some require a photo, others don't
  • Sometimes a translation into English is needed

Before sending, our managers have to manually reformat our unified CV into each partner's specific template. It's not just copy-paste — the order of sections changes, field names change, the level of detail changes.

2. How often does the problem occur?

The flow is uneven, wave-like: from 3–4 to 10–15 adaptations per week. During peak weeks, employees spend dozens of hours on this routine. This has been going on for over a year.

3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?

Currently, everything is done manually. It drains our managers and creates risks of data transfer errors.

We've looked for ready-made solutions on the market — found nothing. We considered document builders (Google Docs, Word templates), but they can't handle the custom requirements of our partners. Implementing complex corporate systems for just 5 templates is too expensive and time-consuming.

4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?

We can't name an exact amount yet — we need to analyze market rates. But we are ready to discuss a fair price for a tool that removes this headache.

What we can provide to developers:

  • All 5 partner templates — in their original form
  • Our unified CV — as the "source" file
  • Access to our managers — for interviews and clarification
  • Feedback at every testing stage
  • Real cases for validation

What we need from a solution:

  • Upload our unified CV
  • Select the required partner template (1 of 5)
  • Receive a perfectly formatted CV according to that template
  • Ideally with the option for minor edits before sending
  • Perfect as a bot or simple web interface
