Fast-Growing Company in Federal Sector Sees Resume Formatting Time Drop from 30 Minutes to Less Than 5 Thanks to iReformat!
Company Staff Save Time & Can Focus More on Production-Oriented Work
Seeking to streamline workplace efficiency, Aqua IT, one of the fastest-growing companies in the federal sector, turned to iReformat and saw powerful results. Gabriel Bishop, a recruiting and sales consultant, says the software program has reduced the time recruiters typically spend on resume formatting from 30 minutes per resume to less than 5 minutes per resume.
"We are able to use that saved time to get back to production-oriented work," Bishop said. He went on to say that thanks to iReformat, more time can be spent on the details of resume submittal instead of the often tedious and frustrating formatting work that can far too frequently end up wasting a large amount of a recruiter's valuable time.
"I have edited many resumes myself, and iReformat is a fast, easy way to save time," Bishop said. He estimates that with iReformat recruiters at Aqua IT save 25 minutes or more per resume.
What Exactly is iReformat & How Does it Work?
In the past, busy recruiters like Aqua IT used manual resume reformatting to meet company branding guidelines. It was a slow, inefficient process that often put recruiters under a time crunch.
With iReformat, those recruiters can now quickly and easily reformat resumes automatically to ensure consistency and quality. Here's how it works: The iReformat software analyzes resume text and then puts it into a selected template, which then results in a fully-formatted resume. Templates are customizable to a company's formatting preferences to get a uniform look across all resumes. The end result is that iReformat users save time and frustration and are able to spend more time on other important work.
Additional Benefits of iReformat
In addition to freeing up recruiters to work on other important tasks, this resume formatting program offers several more benefits. According to Bishop, specific additional benefits experienced at Aqua IT include all of the following:
1. Uniform Formatting
By standardizing the structure, layout, and visual hierarchy of resumes, iReformat enhances readability and professionalism, making it easier for recruiters to quickly assess key qualifications and experience. This consistency also streamlines the recruiting firm's internal processes, reduces turnaround times, and minimizes errors, ultimately improving operational efficiency.
2. Easy Upload/Download
iReformat is carefully designed to simplify and accelerate the entire document handling process. For recruiting firms like Aqua IT, this streamlined workflow reduces administrative burden, eliminates formatting bottlenecks, and allows talent professionals to focus more on candidate engagement and placement rather than file management.
3. Little Manual Editing/Formatting Needed
"iReformat produces consistent, clean results when the original file being uploaded is a PDF," Bishop said. This is one of the key benefits of using iReformat. PDF resumes don't need additional manual editing or formatting, which saves time and reduces frustration for recruiters.
The Bottom Line:
Aqua IT is built on the belief that rapidly deploying specialized teams can outperform the industry's biggest players when culture, talent, process, and tradecraft align. The company identifies itself as a bold and innovative small business leader focused on helping customers dominate and win.
"Our team of 3 uses iReformat to format/brand and edit resumes on a daily basis. We love that it saves us time on tinkering with headers, fonts, and bullet points, and lets us get back to production-oriented tasks," Bishop said. "I would highly recommend it to anyone who is formatting resumes manually."
