Blind Profile Generator

One-click branded, anonymised candidate teaser profile for a prospective client, replacing manual redaction without overclaiming what it catches.

2 min read · Updated July 2026 · Expertini Editorial

One click generates a branded, anonymised teaser profile for a candidate — contact details and current-title employer stripped, skills and a short PII-stripped highlights excerpt shown instead — ready to send to a prospective client.

Agency recruiters routinely need to demonstrate a candidate's qualifications before revealing who they are, historically via a manual find-and-redact pass on a CV that's slow and easy to get wrong. This tool automates the mechanical part while being explicit about what it does and doesn't catch.

Watch the 30-second overview — no sign-up needed

01What it does

Strips contact details, reusing the same PII-stripping used for CMS scoring, and the current-title's employer, shows a reference code instead of the candidate's name, and exports a branded PDF with your agency's logo.

02Who it's for

Recruitment agencies presenting candidates to prospective clients before an introduction is confirmed, where showing qualifications without revealing identity protects both the candidate's current position and the agency's placement fee.

03What makes this different

It reuses the same pattern-based stripping mechanism used for CMS scoring, and it states its limits plainly rather than implying perfect redaction: free-text highlights aren't auto-redacted, so a candidate's own written summary should always be reviewed before external use.

04Why it matters

Recruitment agencies routinely need to show a candidate's qualifications to a prospective client before revealing who they are — this replaces a manual redaction process with one click, and says plainly where its limits are rather than overselling the guarantee.

05Pricing and what's included

Included from the Business plan upward, with a 14-day free trial available to try it as part of evaluating the agency-side tools.

06Support

The Help Center details exactly which fields are auto-stripped versus which need manual review; support@expertini.com is available for anything else.

Engineering notes

Platform architecture & operations

A1Architecture: where it sits in the platform

Blind Profile Generator is a first-class module of the Screening & Evaluation suite inside the authenticated Expertini ATS workspace. The platform is deliberately server-rendered: every view is prepared by the application server and shipped as complete HTML, with no client-side framework, no third-party CDN scripts, and no build pipeline between the data and the page. What renders is what the server computed — the property that makes the interface auditable.

All persistence runs on a single search-native document store; every query carries the organisation's identifier as a mandatory filter at the lowest query layer. Tenant isolation is therefore structural — a property of how every request is composed — rather than a policy that relies on application code remembering to check.

Availability is governed by the platform's tool registry: this tool is registered from the Business plan, and access is enforced server-side by the registry gate on every request — never by hiding a button. Plans also carry a monthly distinct-tool quota (3 / 5 / 15 / 30 / 45 across Trial→Business, unlimited on Enterprise), counted at the same chokepoint. The pricing page states both honestly: what is available, and how much of it the month includes.

A2Data model and dependency map

In production the tool reads and writes the candidate database (ats_candidates). Documents are plain, explicitly-mapped fields — mappings are provisioned ahead of first write, so term filters and aggregations behave deterministically instead of depending on inferred types.

Every distinct open is journalled to the tool-activity store — and that journal, not a parallel analytics system, is what the Reports section aggregates. The usage numbers you see are the numbers the platform actually recorded.

Anything that leaves the request path — notification fan-out, webhook delivery, activity journalling, mail — runs in fire-and-forget background threads. A slow external endpoint can never make the interface hang, and a failed side effect is logged rather than silently retried into inconsistency.

A3Operational considerations

Organisation-level settings, destructive actions, and connections are gated to owner and admin roles; recruiters operate the tool on the records they can see. Role changes apply on the next request — enforcement is at the route, not in the menu.

Scoring in the screening suite is deterministic and published: the same inputs produce the same outputs every time, hard requirements act as blockers rather than being averaged away, and no generative model invents a number — AI is used for extraction and drafting, humans decide. The methodology is public on the research page, where legal and data-science teams can interrogate it before buying.

Everything written is yours to take: CSV exports and the Data Export app cover the same stores the product itself reads. The exit is as open as the entrance — by design, not concession.

A4Interaction contract

The interface follows the platform's search-and-select convention: any field that names a real record — a candidate, client, or job — is a type-to-search picker over live data, never a free-typed string, which is what keeps activity trails and deduplication trustworthy. Static choices are filter-as-you-type combos rather than native dropdowns, and state transitions give explicit feedback: server confirmations surface as toasts, validation errors name the exact field, and nothing is shown as done that the server has not confirmed.

The wireframe and flow below document the structural contract of the surface — what panels exist, what order the states occur in, and what happens at every edge — rather than pixels. The layout is composed with native CSS grid and flexbox and adapts from wide desktop to a single column without separate mobile views.

Frequently asked questions

Is the redaction guaranteed to catch everything?
No — structured fields like contact details and employer name are stripped automatically, but free-text highlights aren't auto-redacted and should always be reviewed before sending externally.
What does the client see instead of the candidate's name?
A reference code, alongside skills and a short PII-stripped highlights excerpt.
Can I brand the exported profile with my agency's logo?
Yes — the PDF export includes your agency's branding.
What plan includes Blind Profile Generator?
Business and above, with a 14-day free trial available.
