What does this ATS checker test?
The general CV review checks your document on its own. For a specific role, select your own CV and paste the job description to run a separate match analysis. CV Score does not run an employer’s ATS. AI matching is analysis and advice, not an employer ATS test, an interview probability or a hiring guarantee. Check every suggestion before using it.
ATS evaluation
What the ATS checker evaluates
Review of document structure and wording, with limits explained in our methodology.
- Layout parsing
Looks for layout and readability concerns in the extracted document; it does not reproduce every parser’s reading order.
- Section recognition
Reviews whether experience, education and skills have clear section headings.
- Keyword coverage
Reviews professional terminology in your CV. Without a job description, this is not a match score or a list of an employer’s required keywords.
- File & text extraction
Accepts PDF files up to 5 MB and 3 pages. Text is extracted from the PDF; OCR may be used when native text is insufficient.
