Use Case

PDF Generation for HR & Recruitment Teams

Save candidate profiles, job postings, and company pages as professional PDFs. Archive HR documents for compliance and streamline your recruitment pipeline.

Team tier available. Free tier: 3 PDFs/month.

Recruitment research is scattered

Recruiters browse dozens of LinkedIn profiles, job boards, and company pages every day. Each one might be the right candidate, the right role benchmark, or the right competitive insight. But the way most recruiters save this research — screenshots, bookmarks, copy-paste into docs — creates a mess that falls apart within days.

Screenshots cannot be searched. Bookmarks break when pages are taken down or restructured. Copy-pasting into a document loses formatting and context. And all of it stays trapped in one recruiter's browser, invisible to the rest of the hiring team.

PDFs solve every one of these problems. A PDF is a permanent, searchable snapshot of the page as it appeared when you saved it. It captures the full content — profile details, job requirements, company information — in a clean, readable format. It can be shared with hiring managers, stored in a team library, and found again months later with a simple search.

HR use cases

Key use cases for HR

Every piece of recruitment research your team saves becomes a permanent, searchable, professional reference document.

Save LinkedIn Candidate Profiles

Capture candidate profiles as clean PDFs with experience, skills, and education preserved. No more relying on LinkedIn's built-in export or losing track of promising candidates when profiles change or disappear.

Archive Job Postings for Compliance

Save job postings as timestamped PDFs for EEO and OFCCP compliance. Capture the exact wording, requirements, and posting date as documented evidence of your hiring practices.

Capture Company Pages for Research

Save company about pages, team pages, and culture content when researching potential employers or competitors. Build a reference library of organizational information for sourcing and outreach.

Save Training Materials from Web

Capture onboarding resources, HR best practices, and professional development content from across the web. Build an internal training library that new hires and existing staff can reference anytime.

Document Employee Policies Found Online

Save industry-standard policy templates, legal guidance, and regulatory updates as PDFs. Keep a permanent record of the policy references that informed your company handbook and HR procedures.

Build Interview Prep Packages

Assemble candidate research, role descriptions, and company background into PDF packages for interviewers. Hiring managers walk into interviews prepared, with all relevant context in one clean document.

Compliance & record-keeping

HR teams operate under strict documentation requirements. Job postings must be archived for EEO compliance. Candidate screening records need to demonstrate fair and consistent hiring practices. Interview notes, job descriptions, and offer details all require documented trails.

When job postings live only on job boards, they disappear the moment a role is filled or the board removes expired listings. If a compliance audit asks you to produce the original posting for a role filled six months ago, a broken link is not an acceptable answer. A timestamped PDF of the posting — capturing the exact requirements, qualifications, and language as published — provides the documented evidence you need.

Pretty PDF timestamps every document with the capture date and source URL, creating an automatic audit trail. Save job postings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or your own careers page as permanent records. Archive candidate communications, screening criteria, and interview scorecards referenced from web-based tools. When compliance questions arise, your PDF library has the answers — searchable, organized, and timestamped.

Organized candidate pipeline

A typical recruiter works on multiple open roles simultaneously, each with dozens of candidates at different stages. Candidate research — profiles, portfolios, reference articles, company backgrounds — accumulates fast. Without a system, it becomes impossible to find what you need when you need it.

Pretty PDF's cloud library gives your recruiting team a single, organized repository for all candidate research. Organize saved PDFs by open role, candidate name, hiring stage, or department. When a hiring manager asks for the shortlist materials for a senior engineering role, you can pull up every relevant profile and reference document in seconds.

Full-text search works across all saved PDFs, so you can find candidates by skill, company, job title, or any keyword that appeared in their profile or supporting research. When a new role opens that matches a candidate you researched three months ago, one search brings them back. No more re-sourcing candidates your team already evaluated.

Tag candidates by skills, department, seniority level, or any classification that fits your workflow. The library grows into a talent database over time — a searchable archive of every candidate your team has ever researched, organized and accessible to everyone involved in hiring.

Three steps

Save candidate research in seconds

From a LinkedIn profile to your recruitment library in three clicks.

1

Browse a candidate's profile or job posting

Navigate to a LinkedIn profile, job posting on Indeed or Glassdoor, company careers page, or any web page with candidate or role information worth saving.

2

Click Pretty PDF to capture clean content

Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar. Pretty PDF strips away navigation, ads, and sidebar clutter, extracting only the meaningful content into a professionally formatted PDF.

3

Save to your recruitment folder in the cloud library

The PDF is saved to your team's shared cloud library. Organize it by role, candidate, or hiring stage. Your entire recruiting team can access it instantly — no file transfers or email attachments needed.

Team collaboration for hiring

Hiring is a team effort. Recruiters source candidates, hiring managers review profiles, interviewers need background context, and HR leads oversee compliance. But candidate research typically lives in individual browsers, email threads, and disconnected documents. By the time a hiring manager needs to review a candidate, the recruiter has to dig through their own files to find and forward the relevant materials.

Pretty PDF's Team tier eliminates this friction. Every PDF saved by any team member is automatically available to the entire hiring team. When a recruiter saves a candidate profile, the hiring manager can review it immediately — no forwarding, no shared drives, no "can you send me that link again" messages.

Branded templates ensure every document in your recruitment library looks professional and consistent. Whether it is a candidate profile, a job posting archive, or a company research page, the formatting is clean and uniform. When candidate materials are shared with executives or external stakeholders, they reflect well on your HR team.

Team-wide access to the recruitment library means institutional knowledge stays with the organization, not with individual recruiters. When a team member leaves or transitions to a new role, their entire body of candidate research remains accessible. The library is a permanent asset that grows more valuable over time.
