    Frequently asked

    How does the ATS checker work?

    Your CV is scored on a fixed rubric of four criteria — parseability, keyword fit, bullet quality, structure — each worth 25 points. An AI applies the rubric and returns specific, evidence-cited feedback. We don't rig the scores: strong CVs get high scores, weak ones get low scores.

    Is this really free?

    Yes. No signup, no email, no credit card. We limit each visitor to a few checks per hour to keep the AI cost manageable. The paid product is the CV builder — clean PDF for $1.99.

    Will my CV be stored?

    No. Your CV text is sent to the AI for analysis and discarded immediately. We don't keep it, log it, or share it.

    Why does an "ATS score" matter?

    Real ATS systems don't actually emit a score — they're parsers and keyword filters used by recruiters. Our score is a shorthand for "would this CV survive automated screening and a 6-second recruiter glance?" The sub-scores tell you exactly what to fix.

    How is this different from ChatGPT?

    You can absolutely paste your CV into ChatGPT and ask for feedback. We do three things differently: the rubric is fixed so scores are consistent, the AI is instructed to cite specific text from your CV (not generic advice), and the tool funnels into a $1.99 builder if you want a clean PDF afterward.
