What It Is

CV Parfait is a French recruitment ATS aimed at PME, small and mid-sized business HR teams, independent recruiters, and recruitment agencies. Its core positioning is to replace Excel and scattered folders by centralizing CV import, candidate data extraction, screening, pipeline tracking, and job matching in a lightweight system. The product emphasizes “start for free,” hosts data in France, and states that it is RGPD compliant.

Core Features and Collaboration

Feature-wise, it supports importing PDFs, JPG/PNG images, scans, mobile photos, and browser camera captures, then uses OCR/AI to automatically extract fields such as name, email, phone number, location, experience, skills, education, and languages. The recruitment pipeline uses a Kanban view, allowing candidates to be tracked through stages such as “to review,” “interview,” “offer,” and “hired.” It also provides job-fit scoring: the AI scores CVs from 0-100% based on job requirements and lists strengths and gaps. Filtering options include skills, experience, location, and languages, with additional practical tools such as notes, tags, star ratings, side-by-side candidate comparison, and follow-up reminders. Pro and above support secure shortlist sharing via links and CSV export, while Business adds an advanced analytics dashboard. For team permissions, the available text only mentions shortlist sharing; roles, member-level permissions, and approval workflows are not specified.

Pricing and Free Plan

Pricing is straightforward: the free plan is 0€/month, available permanently, requires no credit card, and includes 3 CVs/month. Pro costs 19€/month, supports managing 100 CVs at the same time, and adds RH letter generation, secure shortlist sharing, and CSV export. Business costs 49€/month, includes unlimited CVs, and provides recruitment analytics charts and drill-down filtering. All subscriptions are monthly, with no long-term commitment, and can be canceled at any time. Payments are processed by Stripe, with support for Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and SEPA.

Security, Integrations, and Limitations

The security and compliance information is relatively detailed: hosting on OVH in France, HTTPS/TLS, encryption at rest, OVH ISO 27001, RGPD compliance, JSON export, permanent account deletion, and a statement that CVs are neither shared nor resold. Integrations are weak: only Google Analytics, Stripe, and OVH are mentioned, and it explicitly states that there are currently no direct connectors to other ATS platforms. CVs can be imported manually from sources such as email, Drive, and Dropbox, but this is not the same as system integration. There is no visible information about API or developer support, and Word .docx files are not yet supported.

Who It’s For and Access from China

CV Parfait is suitable for small businesses, associations, schools, or independent recruiters with low-volume hiring who want a low-cost alternative to Excel. Recruitment agencies that need analytics dashboards may consider the Business plan. It is not a good fit for teams that require automatic multi-channel synchronization, complex permissions, deep HRIS/ATS integrations, or localization for China’s recruitment ecosystem. The available text does not mention access from China, so actual network connectivity and the convenience of Stripe/SEPA payments should be tested independently. Domestic alternatives in China include Moka, 北森, and 飞书招聘.
