How MiDer cut CV formatting time by 90%
Before discovering CV-Transformer, the team at MiDer Consultants Limited depended on a part-time colleague to handle CV formatting. Turnaround times were unpredictable. Sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes a few hours. And whenever she wasn’t available, the responsibility fell back on the team lead. It wasn’t efficient, and it certainly wasn’t scalable.
Why They Decided to Try CV-Transformer
The turning point came when a former colleague, now a competitor, recommended CV-Transformer. After giving it a test run, the team immediately saw the potential. The product worked smoothly, support from Thijmen was excellent, and after running the numbers, it was clear: CV-Transformer would cost less than their existing Hong Kong labour costs for formatting (including time spent by both senior and junior staff).
A New Level of Speed and Consistency
Since implementing CV-Transformer, everything has changed. Formatting CVs now takes under 10 seconds, a game-changer in a fast-moving and highly competitive recruitment market. With custom templates in place, every CV looks polished and consistent so seamless, in fact, that clients haven’t noticed any shift from human-made formatting to AI-generated output.
Real Impact on Business Performance
The most significant benefit? Turnaround time. If a consultant receives a CV, it can be in a client’s inbox within five minutes. That speed helps MiDer stay ahead of competitors and make a strong impression with clients.
But the impact goes beyond efficiency. By eliminating hours of admin work, consultants can focus on higher-value tasks, such as sourcing talent, nurturing relationships, and growing the business, instead of wrestling with Word documents.
How MiDer Describes CV-Transformer
In their own words:
Consistent formatting. Super fast. Cost-effective. Accurate.
For recruitment agencies seeking to reclaim their time and sharpen their competitive edge, MiDer’s experience shows just how transformative the right tool can be.
