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.

1

Send the CV

Forward, Upload, Push any CV — PDF, Word, scan, Canva export — to your Distill inbox. No upload, no portal, no friction.

2

Distill processes

We reformat to your house style, strip identifying details, fix parsing failures, and verify it survives ATS ingestion.

3

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.
