Built for the submittal grind

Multiple client portals and VMS requirements, multiple house styles, and the backdoor-hire risk every recruiter knows. Distill handles all three before the CV reaches the client.

For staffing agencies

What hurts today

The four things we hear most from teams in this shape.

1.

Each client wants CVs in a different house style. Recruiters spend afternoons reformatting in Word.

2.

Client portals expose candidate PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to the hiring manager — risking direct approaches and lost fees with no way to dispute.

3.

You don't submit into a client's ATS. You upload to their portal, their VMS (Workday, Fieldglass), or email the hiring manager direct. Each surface has its own format expectations, and plugins for any of them aren't realistic.

4.

Audit trail for GDPR is patchy. Who anonymised which CV, when, and what was stripped?

How Distill handles it

Specific features that map to each pain above.

Per-client house styles

Configure a template per client. Forward a CV with the client tag, get a fully editable .docx back in their exact format — ready for you to add an executive summary or recruiter notes before sending.

Strip PII before submission

Name, email, phone, photo, address, and graduation year removed automatically. Optional: company and university names. Protects against direct approaches and lost fees.

Submittal-ready for any portal or VMS

Whether you submit by email, in the app, or via API, what comes back is a clean, formatted .docx — ready to upload to Workday, Fieldglass, Bullhorn, or any portal your client runs. No integrations, no IT tickets, no plugins to install.

Audit trail per CV

Every processed CV logs who, when, what was changed, and what was removed. GDPR-ready.

Three ways to use Distill

Email, in-app upload, or API. Same engine, same submittal-ready .docx — pick the channel that fits each recruiter or each integration.

By email

Forward a CV to your client's Distill inbox with the client tag. The editable .docx lands back in your inbox in under 30 seconds — ready to forward to the hiring manager or upload to a portal.

In the app

Drop a CV into the Distill app, pick the client, download the editable .docx. Best for bulk submittals or teams that want a shared workspace and audit dashboard.

Via API

POST a CV with the client config; receive a processed .docx in the response or by webhook. Drops Distill straight into your existing CRM, ATS, or recruiter tooling.
