Compare PDF for recruiters

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets recruiting and talent teams compare two PDFs in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Comparing two PDFs highlights what changed between versions — added, removed and edited text — so you can review revisions at a glance.

Why recruiters compare two PDFs

A recruiter merges shortlisted resumes into one packet for the hiring manager, redacts contact details for a blind first review, and sends the offer letter for signature.

Built for resumes. Whether it's resumes, shortlists, offer letters, Arthize's compare pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Candidate data is personal; a private workspace keeps resumes and notes confidential.
