Professional Candidate Presentation Made Scalable

Le Grand & Associates: Standing Out in Executive Search

Le Grand & Associates specializes in legal, finance, and IT profiles: sectors where candidate quality is essential, but presentation quality is the differentiator. Each CV sent to clients includes a tailored front sheet, branding elements, and a summary, a level of quality expected in executive search.

The Challenge: Manual Formatting Killed Productivity

"Our recruiters often spent hours per day just tweaking layouts and making front sheets look perfect. And every recruiter did it differently, which impacted our brand consistency."

Senior consultant, Le Grand & Associates

The key pain points included:

  • High time cost per CV
  • Inconsistent formatting across the team
  • Difficulty scaling quality as volume increased

The Breakthrough: Smart Templates, Automated Branding

Saply was introduced to automate branded CV creation based on dynamic input. Recruiters could now insert key details, select the right front sheet template, and generate a polished, client-ready file in under a minute, without leaving Word.

"We didn't just save time. We made sure every candidate presentation feels like a premium brand experience."

Senior consultant, Le Grand & Associates

The Impact: Time Saved, Deals Won

Since adopting Saply:

  • More than 5,000 CVs processed
  • Hours saved per recruiter, per week
  • Branded front sheets standardized across all teams
  • More deals closed due to stronger first impressions

Saply enabled Le Grand to maintain its high standards while removing the manual workload that once slowed them down.

A Year In: The Plugin We Could Not Ship

LGA has used Saply for more than a year. The team runs on Google Workspace, not Microsoft 365, so we promised a Google Docs plugin that would let recruiters use Saply straight from Google Docs.

We were not able to deploy it for their team. The issues sat on Google's side, and the plugin did not go live at LGA. Management decided to stop the contract.

Then they told the operational team. The recruiters pushed back, because they did not want to lose Saply. Management called us and said they wanted to extend the contract.

The renewal did not come from a feature. It came from the people who use Saply every day.
