Our AI Resume Builder allows you to fully reformat a candidate's original CV transforming it into an AI-Enhanced beautifully branded candidate profile in seconds.

With Candidately's AI-Powered Resume Builder, you can create candidate resume layouts that match your exact needs. Candidately will parse the resume and pre-fill the new candidate profile with their employment history, education, certificates, languages, and more. Plus, you can map any Bullhorn fields of your choice thanks to our field mapping functionalities! But that's not all, you can also enhance your profiles through our ChatGPT integration.

Additionally, with our Data Controls, you can easily anonymize your candidate's data, by removing contact details, hiding employer names, and more.

Last but not least, you can brand your PDFs with your company identity, header, footer, and color codes.
