A complete guide to optimizing your CV for ATS systems
Copy your entire CV as plain text. We analyze the raw content, not formatting. This is exactly how ATS systems read your resume.
Paste the full job posting. Our system extracts the keywords, skills, and requirements the employer is looking for.
See exactly which keywords match and which are missing. We also check for formatting issues that break ATS parsing (pipes, smart quotes, fancy bullets).
Our AI rewrites your CV to include missing keywords naturally, without fluff or fabrication. Choose Conservative mode for minimal changes or Aggressive mode for maximum keyword density.
This is critical. Always read through the optimized version. The AI might make assumptions or minor errors. Correct anything that isn't accurate, then run it through the analyzer again to confirm your score improved.
The AI optimization is a starting point, not a final product. You must:
Minimal changes. Only adds keywords that clearly fit your existing experience. Won't invent or exaggerate. Best for roles where you're already a strong match and just need formatting fixes and slight keyword tweaks.
More liberal keyword integration. Infers related skills from your experience (if you did SDK development, you probably touched API design, versioning, etc.). Use for stretch roles where you need higher keyword density. Still won't fabricate.
