Why now
The recruiter’s edge
In an era of AI, the recruiters who last won’t be the ones who are scared of it. They’ll be the ones that embrace it.
Brandidate isn’t here to replace you. It’s here to take away the tedious part, so you can focus on what actually matters: building relationships and placing great people.
Upload a candidate’s CV or LinkedIn profile, add your client’s job description and with one click Brandidate hands you back a branded CV, a one-page overview, a summary that sells the candidate and interview preparation for the candidate that are all tailored to your client’s role.

Why we built it
Built for recruiters, by recruiters
We’ve worked in recruitment, and we know where the hours go. Copying a CV onto your letterhead. Writing the email that sells the candidate. Pulling together interview preparation the night before.
It’s important work, but it’s the same work for every candidate. Brandidate.ai does that preparation for you, in your branding and in plain British English, so you can spend more of your day talking to candidates and clients.
- Documents your clients can open in Word
- Written from the CV — nothing invented
- Anonymise a candidate with one tick
What you get
Four documents, one click
Generate the full candidate pack or just the documents you need. Each one is a Word file with your logo, font, colour, header and footer.
02
Candidate overview
One page for the hiring manager: why the candidate fits, evidence against the role’s key requirements and points worth probing.
03
Client summary
A paragraph you can paste into an email to sell the candidate, with bullet points on how they match the job description.
04
Interview preparation
For the candidate: what to highlight, four to seven likely questions with what a good answer covers, and the hiring manager’s priorities.
How it works
From CV to candidate pack in five steps
Set up your branding once. After that, each candidate takes a couple of minutes of your time.
-
Step 1 · once
Set up your branding
Upload your logo and choose whether it sits on the left or right. Pick a document font and accent colour, and add the header and footer you want on every page.
-
Step 2
Add the candidate
Drop in the CV as a PDF or Word file. No CV yet? Use the candidate’s LinkedIn profile instead — save it from LinkedIn as a PDF, or paste the profile text.
-
Step 3
Add the role
Upload the job description, paste it in, or pick a role you’ve saved. Add anything the hiring manager has asked for, and the documents will focus on it where the CV supports it.
-
Step 4
Choose what to build
Take the full pack or pick individual documents. Tick Anonymise if the client shouldn’t know who the candidate is yet, and choose how the CV should be laid out.
-
Step 5
Generate and download
Click Generate. Seconds later, a zip named after the candidate downloads with your Word documents inside. Give them a quick read, then send them on.
Made for the way you work
The details recruiters ask for
Anonymise in one tick
Names become initials, contact details go, and employers and universities are described in general terms, such as “Large international bank”.
Saved roles
Save a job description and the hiring manager’s notes once, then pick the role for every candidate you put forward.
Hiring manager notes
Tell it what the hiring manager cares about. The overview leads with it and the interview preparation coaches the candidate on it.
Works from LinkedIn
Brand a candidate from their LinkedIn profile PDF or pasted profile text when you don’t have a CV.
Keep the original layout
Brand a Word CV without changing its layout, or fit it to your standard template with a target page count.
GBP, EUR or USD
Pay in pounds, euros or US dollars. Documents are written in British English.
Candidate data
CVs are processed, then deleted
Brandidate.ai is built so candidate data passes through it and isn’t kept.
- The CV is read in memory, used to write the documents, then discarded
- No copy of the CV or the documents is saved to our database or files
- The finished documents download straight to you
- Our AI provider, Anthropic, doesn’t use the content to train its models
Pricing
Pay per candidate pack
A candidate pack is one generation: the branded CV on its own, or the full set of four documents. Creating an account is free, and you choose how to pay when you’re ready to generate.
Pay as you go
- No commitment
- Credit doesn’t expire
- Every feature included
12-month plans
Billed monthly. The allowance resets each month; once it’s used, further packs come from pay-as-you-go credit. Choose a plan from the Billing page once you’ve signed up.
Who it is for

Tech recruitment
Present technical candidates with the credibility they need. Brandidate pulls out the frameworks, tools and technical wins that matter to a CTO or hiring manager, not just years of experience.

What recruiters say
Testimonials
Brandidate cut my candidate prep from an hour to under 30 seconds. My clients really appreciate how much more agile I’ve been able to be.
I used to dread reformatting CVs for every single client. This has given me back so much time, I could never go back.
Our candidates find the interview prep document incredibly helpful, so many have said that they keep it to hand leading up to the interview. Clients have praised our professionalism and we’ve already noticed a significant time saving.
What does Brandidate.ai do?
It turns a candidate’s CV and a job description into the documents you send to clients and candidates: a branded CV, a one-page candidate overview, a client summary and interview preparation. They come back as Word files with your logo, font, colour, header and footer.
Who is it for?
Agency and in-house recruiters who put candidates forward to hiring managers and want every submission to look consistent and professional without the reformatting.
Is it free to sign up?
Yes. Creating an account is free, and you can set up your branding and save roles straight away. To generate documents, add pay-as-you-go credit or choose a 12-month plan.
How long does it take?
A few seconds for a branded CV, and usually well under a minute for the full candidate pack of four documents.
What files can I upload?
CVs as PDF or Word (.docx). Job descriptions as PDF, Word or plain text, or you can paste them in. Scanned CVs that are just an image can’t be read, so ask the candidate for a text-based PDF or Word file.
Can I use a LinkedIn profile instead of a CV?
Yes. Open the profile on LinkedIn, choose More, then Save to PDF, and drop that PDF in. You can also paste the profile text. Brandidate.ai never collects anything from LinkedIn itself.
Do you keep candidate CVs?
No. The CV is read in memory, used to write the documents and then discarded. Nothing from it is saved to our database or files, and the finished documents download straight to you. We keep your account details, branding settings, saved roles and a record of each generation without any candidate details.
How do you handle GDPR?
You remain responsible for the candidate data you upload, and Brandidate.ai processes it on your behalf only to create the documents. Because Brandidate.ai doesn’t store CVs, no candidate data builds up in your account over time. The details are in and in our privacy policy.
Which AI do you use, and will it make things up?
The documents are written with Anthropic’s AI models, which don’t train on your content. It’s told to use only what’s in the CV and never to invent experience, employers, dates or results. As with anything you send to a client, give the documents a quick read first.
How does anonymisation work?
Tick Anonymise and the candidate is referred to by initials. Contact details, address, date of birth and profile links are removed, and employers and universities are replaced with general descriptions, such as “Large international bank” or “Russell Group university”.
Will the documents use my branding?
Yes. Upload your logo once, choose whether it sits on the left or right, and pick a font, an accent colour and the header and footer text. Every document you generate uses them.
What size and format should my logo be?
A wide logo works best, roughly three or four times as wide as it is tall, because it sits in a box about 46 mm by 13 mm in the document header. Use a PNG with a transparent background if you can, at least 600 px wide so it stays sharp in print and under 2 MB. JPG and SVG work too. Crop off any empty space around the edges, and use your full-colour or dark version rather than a white one, since documents print on white.
Can I keep the candidate’s own CV layout?
Yes, for Word CVs. Choose Keep original format and Brandidate.ai adds your branding without changing the layout. PDFs, LinkedIn profiles and anonymised candidates use the standard template.
How does pricing work?
Each generation uses one candidate pack. Pay as you go costs 99p a pack, with top-ups from £10, and the credit doesn’t expire. The 12-month plans include a monthly allowance of packs at a lower price per pack. The allowance resets each month, and any extra packs come from your credit. Prices are also available in euros and US dollars.
How do I get in touch?
Email hello@brandidate.ai with anything at all — questions about the tool, help getting set up, or feedback on the documents. For questions about personal data, use privacy@brandidate.ai. Our privacy policy and terms of service are on their own pages.
Can I cancel a plan?
Plans are a 12-month commitment, billed monthly. Pay-as-you-go credit has no commitment at all, so it’s a good way to start.
