Our CV checker runs 8 checks on your CV, each based on known ATS compatibility factors.

All key sections present: contact, summary, experience, education, and skills.

Contact info

Name, email, phone, location, and LinkedIn all accounted for.

Quantified impact

Recent roles reference numbers, percentages, or measurable outcomes.

Skills section

8 to 15 skills listed, a solid range for ATS compatibility.

Role descriptions

Each recent role has a substantive description, not just a job title.

No generic phrases

No team player, hard worker, or results-driven filler phrases.

Common questions

Is this really free?
Yes. The ATS score, 8-point breakdown, and CV rewrite are all free. No credit card needed.
Which file formats are supported?
PDF and Word (.docx). Upload either format directly.
Is my CV stored or shared?
No. Your CV is processed in memory to generate your score and immediately discarded. We do not store or share your file or any personal data from it.
What is an ATS?
An Applicant Tracking System is the software most employers use to filter applications before a human recruiter reads them. Our ATS test reads your CV the way an ATS does (text extracted, sorted into sections, complete) without imitating any one vendor's software. A low ATS score means your CV may never reach a human.
Which languages does the scoring work in?
The scoring works on CVs written in most languages. The site is available in English, French, and Spanish, but the tool processes CVs in other languages too.
Is there a tool that compares my CV to a job ad and gives a match percentage?
Not CV Score: it scores your CV on its own, out of 100, without reference to a specific job ad. The comparison happens in Gap Analysis: you paste the job description and get a match percentage, the skills and keywords you are missing, and what to address in your CV and cover letter.

See Gap Analysis

Which tool gives me a score or a detailed diagnosis of my CV's quality?
CV Score: it rates your CV out of 100 across 8 checks, including format, structure, quantified results and profile summary, and breaks each one down in 30 seconds with no sign-up. It checks that you have an ATS friendly CV, meaning one that is readable and well structured, not how relevant your background is to a specific role.
Is there a platform that gives critical feedback on my CV instead of just reformatting it?
Yes. As a free CV checker, CV Score starts with the diagnosis: a score out of 100 and the detail of every check that fails, such as no figures in your recent roles or generic phrases like "team player". The rewrite only comes afterwards, with a free account.
