Common Questions

Quick answers about the evaluation process.

What file formats are supported?

CV Score accepts PDF files only. PDFs ensure consistent formatting and are the industry standard for professional documents. Both native text PDFs and scanned documents (via OCR) are supported.

How is my CV evaluated?

Your CV is analyzed against eight professional categories: Contact Information & Header, Professional Summary, Work Experience, Education & Qualifications, Skills & Competencies, Layout & Visual Design, Language & Communication, and Strategic Positioning & ATS Readiness. Each category is scored from 0-100, and 48 individual criteria feed into those scores.

Is the evaluation automated or manual?

The evaluation is fully automated using algorithms based on professional recruiter criteria. No human reviews your document during the evaluation process.

What happens to my CV after analysis?

Your CV is processed in an isolated environment and kept securely in your account so you can preview it and re-scan later. We never share it with third parties, and you can delete it, or your entire account, anytime from account settings.

Get Started

Free score — no credit card.

Compare your CV with a job description

Use your own CV and paste the job description to review how your documented experience relates to the role.

Matching uses your existing credits. Review the credit requirement in the app before starting; existing package prices stay the same. A revised-CV recheck is a new analysis.

  1. Select your own CV

    Choose a CV in your account that belongs to you. Match advice is based on that document, not an invented candidate profile.

  2. Paste the job description

    Review relevant experience, gaps and suggestions for tailoring your CV to the requirements in the text you paste.

  3. Revise, then recheck

    Work through the advice, keep only claims supported by your experience, upload your revised CV and recheck it against the same job description.

AI matching is analysis and advice, not an employer ATS test, an interview probability or a hiring guarantee. Check every suggestion before using it.
