Quick Answer

Go to Admin Settings, open CV/Resume Formatting Settings, create templates for headers, footers, watermarks, or cover letters, save them, and preview before using them on candidate resumes.

## Why Resume Formatting Templates Matter

Resume formatting templates help agencies send consistent, branded, and client-ready candidate documents. Instead of manually editing every CV, recruiters can apply saved templates for headers, footers, cover letters, and watermarks.

## Step 1: Open CV/Resume Formatting Settings

Go to **Admin Settings** and select **CV/Resume Formatting Settings**.

You will see template sections for headers, footers, watermarks, and cover letters.

## Create a Header Template

Open the header template section, select the option to create a new header, and design the header with text, colors, branding, and placeholders.

## Create a Footer Template

Use footer templates for page numbers, disclaimers, contact details, or brand messaging.

## Create a Watermark Template

Create a transparent watermark with your logo, company name, or text such as “Confidential.”

## Create a Cover Letter Template

Design the cover letter template and add placeholders for candidate and recruiter details.

## Use Cases

### Client Submissions

Apply a standardized agency-branded CV before sharing candidates with clients.

### Compliance and Confidentiality

Use watermarks and redaction workflows to control how candidate information is shared.

### Faster Recruiter Workflows

Templates reduce repeated formatting work and help recruiters send polished CVs faster.

## Troubleshooting

### Template Formatting Looks Wrong

Preview the template and adjust spacing, placeholder fields, and design settings before using it.

### Placeholder Data Is Missing

Confirm that the candidate profile contains the field used by the placeholder.

### Watermark Does Not Show on Cover Letter

That is expected. Watermarks apply to resumes, not cover letters.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I create multiple templates?

Yes. Create different templates for brands, clients, regions, or role types.

### Can I edit a template later?

Yes. Return to CV/Resume Formatting Settings and update the relevant template.

### Should I use templates before formatting a resume?

Yes. Creating templates first makes resume formatting faster and more consistent.
