ATS CV test: how to test your CV for ATS
An ATS CV test shows how applicant tracking software reads your CV before a recruiter sees it. To test your CV for ATS here, upload it as a PDF or Word file at the top of this page. In a few seconds you get a score out of 100 and a list of what the software could not read or did not find.
When you apply to a bank, a telecom, an international NGO or another large employer, your CV often goes through an online portal first. Software reads it, pulls out your experience, education and skills, and compares them with the job advert. If it cannot read your CV, or the words the advert asks for are missing, you may be screened out early.
The usual reasons are simple: decorative layouts with tables and graphics that software cannot read, missing sections like a summary or a skills list, jobs without dates, and bullet points that list duties instead of results. The checker finds these in seconds and explains each one.
Then you can fix it. Because we have already read your CV, one tap rebuilds it in a clean template with standard headings, our AI helps you rewrite weak bullets, and you download the PDF, ready to send.
