Why candidates should clean files

Application files can carry draft workflow metadata that is unnecessary for recruiters and hiring teams.

Page-specific cleanup

Job application files to clean before sending

Resumes and portfolios often move through drafts, templates, editors, and exports before reaching recruiters.

Resume PDFs Author, title, producer, and creation fields from PDF export workflows.
DOCX drafts Creator, company, last modified by, revision, and template metadata.
Portfolio assets Image and document metadata that is unnecessary for recruiter-facing submissions.
