Use case

Resume translation with data masking for HR teams

Recruiting and HR teams often translate resumes, candidate lists, employee spreadsheets and interview notes for cross-border review. These files contain names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, employers and salary clues.

Veil Translate helps HR teams mask candidate and employee identifiers locally before translation, then restore the original values on the device after the translated text returns.

Translate HR files privatelyMask candidate data before translation

The HR privacy problem

Candidate and employee information should not be pasted into a public translation box without review. A single spreadsheet can contain hundreds of phone numbers and email addresses.

The problem gets harder when resumes, Excel trackers and PowerPoint summaries are processed together and the team still needs the original layout preserved.

Review before outbound translation

Regex plus a local AI model suggests sensitive entities, but the human review step stays central. Add missed values manually and remove false positives before any translation request is sent.

Confirmed values become stable placeholders across the batch. Placeholder integrity is checked before restoration.

Example translation segment

Source segment
Candidate Wang Min, phone 13900001111, email wangmin@example.com, previously worked as Product Manager at ABC Company.
Masked outbound text
Candidate ⟦NAME_1⟧, phone ⟦PHONE_1⟧, email ⟦EMAIL_1⟧, previously worked as Product Manager at ⟦ORG_1⟧.
Translated example
候选人⟦NAME_1⟧,电话⟦PHONE_1⟧,邮箱⟦EMAIL_1⟧,曾任⟦ORG_1⟧产品经理。

Good fit and honest limits

Good fits include first-pass resume translation, candidate trackers, employee profile tables, interview summaries and HR update decks. DOCX, XLSX and PPTX are supported today.

Automatic detection is strongest for Chinese and English. For other source languages, review and manual additions matter more.

The remaining de-identified body text is still sent as plaintext to the provider you choose. Veil Translate protects detected and confirmed sensitive entities, not the full document body.

Frequently asked questions

Are candidate names and phone numbers sent to the translation provider?

Confirmed sensitive values are replaced with placeholders before translation, so the original values are not sent in the request body.

Can I add a sensitive value that was missed?

Yes. Add it manually on the review screen before translation, especially for unusual formatting or non-Chinese/English source text.

Can I process many resumes at once?

Yes. You can process up to 10 DOCX, XLSX or PPTX files at a time and download a ZIP.
