your overall ATS score
76/100
Not bad at all! But a few quick updates could make a big difference.
AI suggestions
- Try to keep your CV to under three pages. Unless you're a doctor or have a highly specialised background, shorter CVs are easier for recruiters and ATS systems to scan. Keep it focused and relevant.
- Include a link to your portfolio. Whether it's code or design work, a portfolio gives hiring teams a chance to see what you can actually do. It's one of the most valuable links you can add.
content quality
82/100
Strong CVs tell a clear story - not just what you did, but why it mattered. Grammar, specificity and clarity all count.
- Start with action. Always. Start with action. Always. Each bullet point should start with a strong verb, such as led, designed, launched, optimised. If your bullet points start with 'responsible for', it's time for a rewrite. Action words make your contributions clear and compelling.
- No numbers? No proof. Saying you led a project is fine, but saying you led a project that increased retention by 24% is much better. Numbers give your achievements weight and credibility. Without them, your impact is just guesswork.
format & structure
72/100
ATS software needs a clean structure to read your CV properly. Complex formatting or unusual layouts can break parsing.
- You've listed too many skills. Try to keep it under 30. Too many skills can make your CV look unfocused or inflated. Focus on the ones most relevant to the roles you're targeting. Quality over quantity helps recruiters see what you're really good at.
- Add a professional title near the top of your CV. A clear title helps recruiters quickly understand what kind of role you're targeting. It sets the tone and shows where you fit professionally. E.g., Project Manager or Administrative Assistant works well.
keywords & relevance
55/100
Many companies use keyword-matching algorithms to filter CVs. Without the right terms, your CV might not even get seen.
- The CV title/summary should match the job title semantically. Make sure your headline and opening lines reflect the role you’re applying for.
