CV-Transformer vs Chat GPT
The best way to automate CV formatting for recruitment agencies
Recruitment agencies spend countless hours formatting candidate CVs. Recently, many recruiters have started experimenting with ChatGPT for CV formatting. At first, it feels like a clever hack: paste in a CV, ask the AI to reformat it and download the result.
But here’s the problem: ChatGPT isn’t designed for recruitment workflows. It’s slow, inaccurate and forces you to fix layouts manually. What should save you time often ends up costing you even more.
In this article, we’ll compare ChatGPT CV formatting with CV-Transformer, the automated CV formatting tool built for recruitment agencies.
Why recruitment agencies use ChatGPT for CV formatting
The rise of AI in recruitment has led many agencies to test ChatGPT for everyday tasks. For CV formatting, the appeal is clear:
It’s cheap (or free if you use the basic version)
It promises quick results
It can generate text, summaries and translations
But when recruiters actually try AI CV formatting with ChatGPT, the cracks appear quickly.
The limitations of formatting CVs with ChatGPT
Using ChatGPT means recruiters must:
Copy-paste the candidate CV
Write the right prompt (sometimes multiple times)
Check and re-check the output
Copy it into Word or a template
Fix the formatting manually
Instead of saving time, recruiters still spend 15–30 minutes per CV.
