How CV Optimiser works

CV Optimiser compares your CV against a job description to show how well it matches, what recruiters may miss, and what to improve.

CV Optimiser provides AI-assisted CV checks and practical suggestions. It does not guarantee interviews, job offers, ATS acceptance, or employer responses. Results are guidance only and should be reviewed before you apply.

What this tool does

  • Compares your CV to a job description
  • Calculates a match score
  • Highlights missing keywords
  • Shows the most important improvements to make

How your CV score is calculated

Your CV score is based on a combination of:

  • Keyword match: whether your CV includes the terms used in the job description
  • Relevance: how closely your experience aligns with the role
  • Structure: clarity, organisation and readability
  • Recruiter best practices: how clearly your impact and achievements are shown

The score is designed to reflect how likely your CV is to pass initial screening and attract attention.

What ATS systems and recruiters look for

Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to filter CVs before a recruiter reviews them.

  • Relevant keywords from the job description
  • Clear, readable formatting
  • Experience that matches the role
  • Evidence of impact (results, numbers, outcomes)

If key information is missing or unclear, your CV may be filtered out before a human sees it.

What you get from your CV check

  • A CV match score
  • Missing keywords for the role
  • Top priority fixes
  • Feedback on structure and clarity

The full report (Pro) includes deeper improvements, rewrites and keyword optimisation.
