Recruiter handoff

Compress candidate resume PDFs to an upload limit.

Received a resume PDF that is too large? Enter the receiving system's size limit, prepare a permitted copy, and compare the actual result before export. Follow your organization's rules for external PDF services and keep the candidate's original. A smaller file is not an ATS compatibility test.

Check one PDF against your limit

Drop a permitted copy, then enter the receiving system’s size limit.

How can recruiters compress resume PDFs received from candidates?

Keep the original and check the receiving system's exact rules. If external processing is permitted and the PDF is too large, prepare a copy, compare its measured size with the limit, then reopen it to verify names, contact details, dates, selectable text, and links.

Why this workflow works

Check whether your organization permits this document in an external tool
Keep the candidate's original and avoid public links without permission
Compare actual output bytes with the receiving system's limit
Reopen the exported copy to check contact details, selectable text, dates, and links

How to use it

Confirm the receiving system's file type and size rules. If the original fits, use it unchanged.
If external processing is allowed, add one PDF and enter the receiving system's size limit. Check the actual result size and readability before export; if the original fits, keep it unchanged.
After export, reopen the copy and verify essential details and extracted text. Use an approved internal route if policy does not allow an external service.

Questions people ask before exporting

Can recruiters compress many candidate resumes at once?

This page describes a per-file quality check, not an automated bulk-processing or compliance workflow. Use only the access and batch features shown in the app, and follow your organization's document-handling policy.

Does a smaller PDF remain ATS-readable?

Not automatically. Keep the original, check text selection and links in the exported copy, and verify any fields extracted by the receiving system. A visual preview alone is not an ATS test.

Should I use a public PDF link for a candidate resume?

Not without authorization from the candidate and your organization. Prefer the approved handoff method for personal documents.
