Challenge
The task
Save dozens of hh.ru resumes as PDF for offline review - without clicking each candidate one by one.
Starting point
Recruiters and HR teams on hh.ru open employer response pages with tens or hundreds of applicants. Each resume must be saved manually - slow, error-prone file names, no batch export from hh.ru itself.
The goal was a focused Chrome tool for employer response pages only: one action to download many PDFs, readable filenames, progress in the popup, and no cloud upload of candidate data.
Core requirements
The extension had to stay narrow and trustworthy:
- Works on hh.ru employer response pages only
- Bulk or selected download, up to 100 PDFs per run
- Filenames by candidate surname
- Processing and downloads stay in the browser
- Chrome MV3, EN and RU UI, Chrome Web Store release
Solution
What we built
Resume PDF - a Chrome extension by Webdoka for hh.ru recruiting workflows.
Product approach
Resume PDF (Резюме в PDF) adds a popup and content scripts on hh.ru employer response pages.
The extension collects resume links on the page, fetches PDFs through Chrome APIs and saves them
via chrome.downloads - with a stepper for batch size and live progress.
Built with vanilla JavaScript on Manifest V3: service worker, content scripts and popup.
UI strings in English and Russian through chrome.i18n. Current release around v1.3.0.
Delivery and site

Features
What the extension does
Bulk PDF export tuned for hh.ru employer workflows - three core blocks.
Every resume, one button
Open a vacancy's applicants on hh.ru and download every candidate as PDF in a single click. Need fewer files? Set a number in the stepper (up to 100) and download only that batch.
Up to 100 PDFs
Stepper
One click
Downloads run in the background
Close the popup - files keep saving. Progress stays visible in the extension UI while Chrome works through the queue with pauses so hh.ru is not overloaded.

Files named by surname
Each PDF is saved as Surname Name_<id>.pdf when the name is available,
otherwise resume_<id>.pdf - straight into Downloads, without manual renaming.

Workflow
Three steps
From install to a folder of PDFs on the employer response page.
1. Install and open responses
Install from Chrome Web Store, sign in to hh.ru as an employer and open a vacancy response list.
2. Set batch size
Open the extension popup, pick how many resumes to save (up to 100) and start the run.
3. Collect PDFs
Chrome saves files to your download folder with readable names. Repeat on the next page if needed.
Disclaimer
Resume PDF is not an official hh.ru product and is not affiliated with HeadHunter. The extension works only on employer response pages where you already have access through your hh.ru account. It does not bypass hh.ru permissions or store resumes in the cloud.
For Webdoka
The case shows a narrow HR utility shipped as a public Chrome extension: MV3 architecture, localized popup, product site and store listing - similar to how we deliver client-facing tools.
