Free CV anonymiser for recruiters

Take the candidate's name, email, phone number and LinkedIn off a CV before it goes to a client, so the client has no easy way to reach them except through you. Ten CVs free, no card.

Anonymise a CV

Ten CVs free, no card. Name, email, phone and LinkedIn come out, a reference code goes in, and the finished document is checked for them before you get it. The CV is processed and discarded, never stored.

What comes out

The candidate's name, email address, phone number and LinkedIn are removed. The name is replaced with a reference code, so you and your client can still talk about the same person without either of you writing their name down.

Checked, not assumed

Contact details hide in awkward places: the Word header, a text box, a second column. So the finished document is read back after it is built, and if any of those details would still be visible, you get an error instead of a file. A tool that quietly leaks a mobile number is worse than no tool, because you find out when the client has already called.

What stays, and why

Employers, job titles, dates, qualifications and the candidate's own wording all stay, because a client needs them to judge the candidate. Nothing is rewritten or summarised. That also means a determined client could still search for someone from their history: anonymising removes the easy route to the candidate, not every route.

Agencies don't anonymise CVs for tidiness. They do it because a client with the candidate's number doesn't need the agency for the second conversation.

Questions

Is it really free?

Ten CVs are free with a work email and no card. After that it is £79 a month for the whole agency, unlimited CVs.

Do you keep the CV?

No. It is processed in memory and discarded. See security and data for exactly what happens to it, and the privacy policy for who else is involved.

Can it carry our agency's branding at the same time?

Yes. Open “Add your agency's branding too” above and add your name, colour and logo. You get back a Word document in your branding with the contact details already gone, and the browser can remember your branding for next time.

Can I do a whole shortlist?

Yes. Drop up to twenty CVs at once. Each one counts as one of the ten free CVs.

What files work?

PDF and Word (.docx), up to 10MB, including two-column layouts and tables. Older .doc files need saving as .docx first.
