CV Generator Agent and your Word template

Build an anonymous or named CV in your agency's house style. Upload your template as a Word file, not a PDF.

Written by Robin Alcedo Overbosch

After a conversation with a candidate, the CV Generator Agent builds a CV to send to your client, in the layout of your own template. The CV is saved on the candidate in your ATS and a draft email is ready to go.

Before you start

  • An owner, admin or manager has uploaded a CV template (see below). Until there is one, other team members don't see the agent.

  • Your ATS is connected and your AI assistant is connected to Hyre. See Connect Hyre to Claude.

Once: upload your template (admin)

  1. Go to Agents. The CV Generator Agent card shows a Needs your file badge.

  2. Click the card, or choose Attachments in the ⋯ menu. The Your files for CV Generator Agent window opens.

  3. Click Upload a file and pick your template. Use a Word file (.docx or .dotx), not a PDF.

  4. Optional: click the pencil to set the Name, a Description and the Role: Template (the layout) or Example (a filled-in sample CV). Give templates clear names, such as "Anonymous" and "Named": the agent lets you pick by name later.

Build a CV

  1. Open the candidate in Hyre and click CV Generator Agent. Or start it from the Agents page under Power agents.

  2. Your AI assistant opens. Send the prompt.

  3. Answer the questions:

    • general CV or CV for a specific job

    • which candidate

    • which sources: LinkedIn profile, conversations (transcripts), ATS data (summaries and notes), documents such as an existing CV. The more, the better.

    • which template

  4. The agent builds the CV. It's saved on the candidate in your ATS and a draft email with the CV as a PDF is ready to send to one or more clients.

  5. Review the CV before you send it.

Why Word and not PDF?

  • A Word template gives an exact copy of your layout. The agent fills in the file itself: placeholder texts such as "[Job title]" get the candidate's details, a table row or paragraph for one job or education is repeated for every job, and a line with no value is removed. You don't need to prepare the template.

  • A PDF or image only gives an approximation. The agent then rebuilds the layout and tells you so. Exception: a PDF form with fillable fields is filled in exactly.

  • Layout not right? Upload the template again as a Word file.

Good to know

  • Up to 5 files of 5 MB per organization: Word, PDF or images. Word files with macros are refused.

  • Only owners, admins and managers upload or remove files. They're only visible to your own organization.

  • The agent doesn't invent facts. If something is missing, it leaves it out. Always review anyway.

  • If your ATS can't receive files through the connection, add the CV to it yourself.

  • Layout still off with a Word template? Send the template and the result through Helpdesk at the bottom left in Hyre.
