Vitae

What Vitae does

Vitae is a Belgian SaaS platform operated by private limited company ENGINUITY BV (VAT BE 1008.136.638), headquartered in Herzele with operations in Brussels. The product targets recruitment agencies by automating the conversion of unstructured candidate CVs — including PDF, DOCX, LinkedIn exports, and scanned documents — into branded, print-quality PDFs rendered via LaTeX typesetting. Underlying technology combines OpenAI's GPT-5.2 for extraction, pgvector embeddings for semantic search, and a two-stage matching pipeline that layers LLM reranking on top of vector retrieval. The platform is hosted on EU-based Hetzner infrastructure and is positioned as EU AI Act limited-risk compliant and GDPR-compliant by design, with a zero-data-retention OpenAI configuration.

Revenue comes from tiered SaaS subscriptions: a free tier capped at 3 CVs per month, Starter at €29/month (20 CVs, 1 seat), Professional at €79/month (100 CVs, 3 seats), and Enterprise at €199/month (unlimited, 5 seats), with a 20% discount for annual billing. Distribution blends self-serve product-led acquisition for SMBs with field sales implied by the Enterprise tier and named staffing-industry logos (ONgroup, Enginuity, Bridgeworks). A REST API and an agent skill endpoint (vitae.build.match) extend Vitae beyond a recruiter productivity tool into reusable infrastructure for AI-driven recruiting automations, opening an API- and ecosystem-driven distribution channel alongside direct end-user sales.

Core offering

Vitae is an AI-powered SaaS platform that automates CV formatting for recruitment agencies, transforming messy candidate documents (PDF, DOCX, LinkedIn exports, scanned files) into branded, role-tailored PDFs in under 60 seconds with claimed 99%+ extraction accuracy. The platform combines OpenAI-based extraction, LaTeX rendering for print-quality typography, a two-stage candidate matching pipeline (pgvector + LLM re-ranking), and an Agent Skill API that plugs into AI-agent recruiting workflows. It is sold via tiered subscriptions (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) with optional embedded API access.

Product overview

Vitae is a unified AI-powered CV automation platform for recruitment agencies consisting of a core SaaS platform (Vitae) with integrated modules for CV formatting, candidate matching, and agent workflow automation. The platform centers on AI-powered extraction using OpenAI GPT-5.2 to transform any CV format (PDF, DOCX, plain text, LinkedIn) into structured data, which is then rendered through LaTeX templates into branded PDFs. The Candidate Matching API and Agent Skill Endpoint provide programmatic access to a two-stage matching pipeline (pgvector semantic search + LLM re-ranking) for AI agent integrations. The AI Recruiting Agent offers natural language candidate search within the platform. Solutions include executive search profiles, staffing agency branding, IT recruiter formatting, and multi-format conversion. The platform is ATS-agnostic and offers tiered pricing (Starter €29/mo, Professional €79/mo, Enterprise €199/mo) with different CV limits and matching quotas.

Direct peers

• Enhancv: Enhancv is a resume builder focused on design-forward, content-guided CV creation for job seekers. Comparable on AI-assisted CV content structuring and rendering, though positioned for individual candidates rather than recruitment agencies.
• Novoresume: Novoresume is a CV and resume builder offering templates, AI content suggestions, and PDF export. Comparable to Vitae on document creation but without the recruitment-agency vertical focus or API/agent integration layer.
• Rezi: Rezi is an AI-powered resume builder with keyword optimization and ATS scoring. It overlaps with Vitae on AI-driven CV generation and formatting, though it targets job seekers more than recruitment agencies.
• Saply: Saply is named by Vitae as a direct competitor and targets recruitment agencies with similar CV formatting and candidate presentation features. It competes head-to-head on output quality, pricing at scale, and EU compliance positioning.
• VisualCV: VisualCV is an online resume builder with premium templates and analytics. It overlaps with Vitae on professional CV rendering and export, with a similar self-serve SaaS pricing model.
• Candidately: Candidately is a direct competitor that Vitae explicitly compares itself against in marketing collateral. It serves recruitment agencies with candidate presentation and CV/branding tooling, overlapping closely on the recruiter productivity and client-ready CV use case.

Emerging players

• Beamery: Beamery is a talent lifecycle platform with CRM, matching, and analytics capabilities. It intersects with Vitae on AI-powered candidate matching and recruiter productivity, representing a broader platform peer.
• Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI is a talent intelligence platform with AI-driven matching and profile enrichment. It overlaps with Vitae's candidate-job matching capability and persistent talent pool, though at a much broader enterprise scale.

Broad incumbents

• Greenhouse: Greenhouse is a leading applicant tracking system used by many of the same recruitment-agency and in-house TA buyers. It is a broad incumbent that could expand native CV formatting features and reduce demand for standalone tools like Vitae.
• Lever: Lever is an ATS and talent acquisition suite serving mid-market and enterprise customers. It overlaps on recruitment workflow infrastructure and represents a broad incumbent that could bundle CV formatting into its offering.
