Free ATS checker
See your CV the way recruiters’ software does
Most companies run CVs through an applicant tracking system (ATS) before anyone reads them. Paste yours to see what it identifies, what it misses, and how well you match a job ad.
Open your CV PDF or Word file, press Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, and paste here. That is close to what an ATS extracts. Nothing leaves your browser.

Your ATS report appears here
Paste at least a few lines of your CV to see what an applicant tracking system identifies.
What an ATS looks for
What gets read, and what gets lost
Reads well
- Plain text in one reading order
- Standard headings: Experience, Education, Skills
- Dates like “Jan 2022 – Present”
- Email, phone and links written out in full
- Keywords that match the job ad
Trips it up
- CVs saved as images or scans
- Text inside pictures, icons or text boxes
- Creative headings like “My journey”
- Emoji and icon fonts
- Links hidden behind words like “click here”
Every template in our CV builder is built this way, and each sample CV shows its own ATS report.
