Email a CV.
Get a client-ready doc.
Distill formats, anonymises, and ATS-checks a CV in under 30 seconds — without an ATS integration, login, or template setup. Forward the file, get the result.
How it works
Three steps, no software to learn. The whole loop runs over email.
Send the CV
Forward, Upload, Push any CV — PDF, Word, scan, Canva export — to your Distill inbox. No upload, no portal, no friction.
Distill processes
We reformat to your house style, strip identifying details, fix parsing failures, and verify it survives ATS ingestion.
Receive the result
A clean, anonymised, ATS-safe Word doc lands back in your inbox, browser or ATS in under 30 seconds. Forward it straight to the client.
What Distill does
Four things, done well — not a 40-feature platform you'll only use a quarter of.
Reformatting to house style
Apply your agency template — fonts, headers, sections, ordering. Bulk-process from a single inbox or one-off submittals from individual recruiters.
Candidate data anonymisation
Strip name, email, phone, photo, address, and graduation year. Optional removal of company and university names for full blind hiring.
ATS-safe output
Word docs validated against Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, Workable, Recruitee, Manatal, and more. No mangled tables, no broken bullets.
Under 30 seconds end-to-end
From the moment you hit forward, the cleaned file is in your inbox in under 30 seconds. Faster than opening Word.
Why email-first,
not another ATS plugin?
Most CV tools assume you'll integrate with a single ATS. Most agencies use three or four — Bullhorn for one client, JobAdder for another, Vincere internally.
Email is the one workflow every recruiter already uses. Forward a CV, get a result. Same flow for every client, every ATS, every team member.
No procurement review. No IT ticket. No training. The free trial starts the moment you forward the first CV.
