Before you send another application, you want to know: is my CV actually good enough? A free CV check gives you an honest answer in under a minute — no signup, no marketing emails afterwards.

What is a CV check?

A CV check compares your CV against a specific job ad and tells you how well they line up. It looks at structure, keywords, role titles, years of experience, and the things ATS systems and recruiters typically flag in the first few seconds.

Why it's worth doing

  • Find missing keywords before a recruiter does
  • Spot weak phrasing and replace it with concrete impact
  • Catch layout problems that break ATS parsing
  • Save time by only applying when you actually fit

How it works in 30 seconds

  • Upload your CV (PDF or DOCX)
  • Paste the job ad you're targeting
  • Get a match score and the top 5 things to fix

What a good check actually looks at

  • Keyword overlap with the job ad
  • Whether your job titles map to the target role
  • Years of experience near each role
  • Tools, certifications, languages
  • Layout signals that ATS parsers can read

CV check vs. ATS check

An ATS check focuses purely on machine readability: can the parser extract your name, roles and skills? A CV check goes further and judges whether the content itself fits this specific role.

Is the check really free?

Yes. You can run a check without signup, without payment, and without entering an email address.

What happens to my data?

Your CV is only used to generate the analysis. It is not shared with recruiters or third parties.

How often should I run a check?

Once per role you apply to. Different job ads require different keyword emphasis, so re-checking each time pays off.

Put this into practice

Run your CV against a real job posting and see your score in 30 seconds.
