What exactly does the checker look at?

Applicant tracking systems (ATS) turn your CV into text and search it for sections and keywords. This checker reads your file in a similar way and shows what might be read wrongly.

ATS compatibility

  • Text can be extracted (not an image or scan)
  • Clear section headings (Experience, Education, Skills)
  • Email, phone and city present and outside the header/footer
  • Single column with no tables or text boxes
  • Few images, icons and unusual symbols
  • Clear dates for every job, newest first
  • One or two pages

Content quality

  • A summary of a good length
  • At least two bullets per job
  • Achievements with real numbers
  • Bullets that start with strong verbs, not "Responsible for"
  • A sensible number of skills
  • Spelling mistakes and repetition
  • A LinkedIn link

After the check you can open your CV in the builder and pick an ATS-friendly template, or browse CV examples by job.

FAQ

How is the score calculated?

There are two scores: ATS compatibility (can a system read the file and find your sections, contact details and dates) and content quality (summary, bullets, numbers, action verbs, skills, education). Every check has visible points in the "How was the score calculated" table, and the overall score is their average.

Does a high score mean my CV will be accepted?

No. No tool can guarantee acceptance: every employer uses a different system and settings, and a person makes the final decision. The score points out known issues that can lower your chances.

What is the difference between problems and risks?

Problems are things we actually found, such as a missing email or a job without dates. Risks are things some ATS read badly and others handle fine, such as columns, tables and images.

Will the AI add experience or skills I do not have?

No. The tool is designed to only rephrase information already in your CV, and it applies nothing until you press Apply. Always review a suggestion before accepting it.

Do you store my file?

No. The file is read in your browser and is not uploaded. Your CV stays in this tab only until you close it.
