Saply and CV-Transformer both turn candidate CVs into client-ready documents in your template, with anonymization and an MCP server for AI assistants. Saply works inside Word, Outlook and Google Docs, scores CVs against vacancies and holds ISO 27001. CV-Transformer keeps to one job and does it simply: a web app with a layout editor you control, weblinks clients can react to, public prices and direct support from the people who build it.

Simple to use

CV-Transformer only shows what a recruiter needs for the task at hand: upload a CV, check the proposal, share it. Everything else stays out of the way until you need it. CVs come in by upload, by email to your organization's inbox address, or from your ATS, and CV-Transformer opens inside Bullhorn, Carerix and Salesforce-based ATSs. See How CV-Transformer works.

When something in a CV needs to change, you ask for it in plain words, such as "Write the work experience as bullet points", for the whole CV or one part of it. See Editing with AI.

Saply runs where recruiters already work: as add-ins for Word, Outlook and Google Docs, and in its own web app. It can also ask candidates to fill in missing details through a short WhatsApp or Teams chat.

Support

At CV-Transformer, you reach the people who build the product directly, by email, WhatsApp or phone. When a layout needs a change or an ATS field doesn't come through, the person you talk to can fix it.

Value for money

What you pay to format a CV is a small part of what a candidate costs your agency: sourcing, screening, interviews and the recruiter's time all come first. A few cents more or less per CV matters less than a proposal you can send without fixing it, in a layout that looks exactly like your brand.

Saply publishes no prices: after a 7-day free trial, it scopes a price to your firm. Custom template setup is a one-time fee. Its larger plans run on credits and start with a 90-day pilot.

CV-Transformer is a monthly subscription, by usage or by user. By usage, you choose a minimum number of candidates per month, from 50: the price per candidate goes from €1.95 down to €1.00 as the minimum rises, with unlimited users. By user, a license costs €19 down to €6 a month. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and we set up your first layout for free. See pricing.

Templates and output

Saply applies templates per client, division and language, and returns Word documents. CV-Transformer lets you design and change layouts yourself in the layout editor, or start from more than 30 in the library, and shares proposals as PDF, Word or a weblink. Clients can react to a weblink by inviting or rejecting the candidate, or commenting on the profile. See Proposal reactions.

Scoring candidates

Saply scores CVs against the vacancy. CV-Transformer doesn't score, rank or filter candidates: it reads, formats and helps write CVs, and a recruiter decides. Under the EU AI Act, AI that evaluates candidates is high-risk, with strict requirements from 2 December 2027; CV-Transformer is a limited-risk system. See AI in recruitment agencies.

Data and AI

  • Where data is stored: Saply runs on Microsoft Azure in the EU. CV-Transformer runs on servers in Frankfurt, Germany.

  • AI: Saply uses OpenAI models through Azure. CV-Transformer uses Mistral by default, and you can choose another model.

  • Retention: Saply deletes processed documents within 7 days unless you save them to its CV database. CV-Transformer deletes candidates after 90 days by default, or after any period you set.

  • Training: neither uses customer data to train AI models.

  • Certifications: Saply is certified against ISO/IEC 27001:2022. CV-Transformer doesn't hold this certification; see Security and privacy.

ATS integrations

Saply connects to Bullhorn, Carerix, Loxo and Spott, plus SharePoint and Microsoft 365. CV-Transformer integrates with Bullhorn, Carerix, Greenhouse, JobAdder, Mercury and Salesforce, including MySolution, Seven20 and Tigris. See all integrations.

Which one fits your agency?

Choose Saply if your recruiters live in Outlook and Word, you want CVs scored against vacancies, you need ISO 27001, or you use Loxo or Spott.

Choose CV-Transformer if you want a simple app, quick answers from the people who build it, public prices and layouts you design and change yourself. Or if you use Greenhouse, JobAdder, Mercury or a Salesforce-based ATS.
