Distill.cv
Distill solves a narrow but real recruiting-agency problem, cleaning up inconsistent candidate CVs and stripping bias-inducing details before a client sees them, and it does it fast enough to sit inside a normal submission workflow. It's built specifically for agency and RPO workflows, so an in-house recruiter with lower CV volume may not need a dedicated tool for this alone.
Pros
- Anonymizes names, photos, and graduation years specifically to reduce bias, not just generic formatting
- Ephemeral processing with no long-term storage of candidate data
- Compatible with more than 30 applicant tracking systems
- Free browser-based tool works without an account for basic anonymization
Cons
- Paid tiers charge per CV inside a monthly cap, so cost scales directly with agency volume
- Doesn't screen, rank, or match candidates, purely a formatting and anonymization step
- Overage pricing above the monthly CV cap is noticeably higher than the in-plan rate
