75% of CVs are rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems before a human ever sees them. Make sure yours isn't one of them.
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies and 70% of all employers to automatically filter and rank CVs before they reach human recruiters. These systems scan your CV for keywords, parse your experience, and score your match against job requirements.
If your CV isn't formatted correctly for ATS parsing, even with perfect qualifications, you'll be automatically rejected. Our ATS Checker identifies issues that cause rejection and provides instant fixes.
Two or three-column CV designs look nice but ATS systems can't parse them correctly. Your experience ends up scrambled and unreadable to the ATS.
High Rejection RiskPhotos, charts, icons, and fancy graphics can't be read by ATS. They waste space and prevent your actual content from being parsed correctly.
High Rejection RiskDecorative fonts, unusual text sizes, or heavy styling confuse ATS parsers. Stick to standard fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Georgia.
Medium RiskContent inside tables or text boxes often gets skipped or misinterpreted. Use simple formatting with standard headings instead.
Medium RiskATS systems look for specific keywords from the job description. If your CV doesn't contain them (even if you have the skills), you'll score low.
Medium RiskCreative section names like "My Journey" instead of "Experience" confuse ATS. Use standard headers: Experience, Education, Skills, etc.
Medium RiskSingle-column layout check, standard font verification, no images or graphics detection, and table and text box warnings.
Keyword density analysis, section header validation, contact info detectability, and date format consistency.
Experience extraction test, education parsing validation, skills identification check, and overall ATS score (0-100).
