What we check

Our AI scorer goes beyond types and punctuation

Six dimensions, formula-based scores, no hallucinations.

Keyword Coverage

We match your CV against the JD to find exactly which terms you're hitting and what gaps are costing you interviews.

ATS Compatibility

Can Taleo, Workday, and Greenhouse actually parse your CV? We check section headings, formatting, length, and file structure.

Tone & Writing Style

Strong action verbs, confident language, no passive constructions. We score the quality of how you communicate your experience.

Content Quality

Quantified achievements, specific results, and evidence-led bullets. We flag generic filler that dilutes your strongest moments.

CV Structure

Logical section order, clear headings, consistent dates. Recruiters spend 7 seconds on a CV. Your structure must guide their eye.

Skills Alignment

Are you leading with the right skills for your target role? We compare your skills section against role expectations for your sector.

Common questions

Yes, no account, no card, no email required. Upload your CV and get a real AI score in seconds. We use the free scan to show you what's possible; upgrading unlocks the full breakdown, bullet rewrites, and job-description matching.

ATS systems (Taleo, Workday, Greenhouse) parse your CV into structured fields, then rank you against the keywords and criteria the recruiter configured. They don't produce a 0–100 score themselves, but our tool predicts how well you'd rank based on what those systems look for.

It's formula-based, not a single AI guess: 40% keyword coverage + 40% ATS formatting + 20% qualifications. The category scores (Tone, Content, Structure, Skills) come from a separate AI analysis of your CV's writing quality.

Yes. Without a JD, we run a CV-only review that scores formatting, structure, writing quality, and general ATS compatibility. For keyword matching against a specific role, you'll need to add a job description. That's available in the paid tiers.

PDF and DOCX. For best results use a text-based PDF (not a scanned image) or a DOCX file. Image-based PDFs can't be parsed by ATS systems and will score poorly on formatting.
