What makes a CV ATS-compatible
Follow these rules and stop getting filtered out before a human ever reads your CV.
Use Standard Section Headings
Use “Work Experience” not “My Journey”. Use “Education” not “Where I Learned”. ATS systems match exact headings.
ATS-Safe Fonts Only
Calibri, Arial, or Times New Roman at 11pt. Custom fonts render as garbled text in most ATS systems.
Single Column Layout
Two-column CVs look great but confuse parsers. Keep a linear, top-to-bottom reading flow.
No graphics, tables, or text boxes.
If your CV was built in Canva or has icons in the header, the ATS likely can't read it. Text must be selectable.
Graphics Rejected
Keep it text-based
What does your
ATS score mean?
Not all scores are equal. Here's how to read yours and what to do about it.
Your CV will pass most ATS filters. A recruiter will likely read it.
You may pass some filters but will be ranked lower than optimised CVs. Fix the flagged issues.
Your CV is likely being filtered out before a human ever sees it. Significant formatting or keyword work required.
Keyword Match
We scan the job ad and tell you exactly which keywords your CV is missing. No keyword, no match.
Format & Structure Check
Is your CV using tables, text boxes, or a Canva template? We flag every formatting issue that will get you silently rejected.
