Questions

Is my CV uploaded?

No. The text is read and scored in your browser, so your personal details never reach our servers.

Is the ATS checker free?

Yes. CV checks are free and do not count towards the daily task allowance.

What is an ATS-friendly CV?

A text-based PDF with plain section headings, contact details as text, measurable results and keywords that match the job ad.

Why is my score low even though my CV looks good?

Designed CVs often store text as images or in unusual layouts that ATS software can't read. Recreate it as a simple text-based PDF.
