AI-assisted PII redaction for candidate resumes
Remove personally identifiable information from resumes before sharing with clients. Reduce the risk of candidate poaching and support privacy-first recruitment workflows.
What it does
BrandingCV uses AI to detect and redact personally identifiable information from uploaded resumes — including names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, LinkedIn/GitHub URLs, photos, and other identifiers. Redaction rules are configurable per agency, and outputs include a human review step before final export.
Who it's for
Recruitment agencies, staffing firms, and RPO teams that share candidate resumes with clients and need to protect candidate contact details, reduce privacy risk, and prevent clients from bypassing the agency to contact candidates directly.
How it works
Upload a resume (PDF or DOCX). BrandingCV's AI parses the document, identifies PII fields, and flags them for redaction according to your configured rules. You review the flagged items, confirm or adjust, and generate a clean candidate profile with PII removed and agency branding applied.
Why it matters
Manual PII redaction is slow, inconsistent, and error-prone. A single missed phone number or email can lead to a client contacting a candidate directly, bypassing your agency. Automated redaction helps reduce these risks and speeds up the submission workflow significantly.

Frequently asked questions
Does BrandingCV guarantee all PII is removed?
No. BrandingCV uses AI-assisted redaction which significantly reduces manual effort and error rates, but AI is probabilistic. We provide human review controls so you can verify outputs before sharing.
Can I customize which fields are redacted?
Yes. You can configure redaction rules to include or exclude specific field types like university names, graduation dates, and company names.
What file formats are supported?
BrandingCV supports PDF and DOCX resume files.
Is the original resume stored after processing?
Source files are processed ephemerally and removed from processing storage after the candidate profile is generated.
