ATS CV Checker
Many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to organise applications. QuickApplyPilot's CV checker compares your CV with a specific job description and shows where your CV already uses the role's language and where it could be clearer — using a transparent rubric.
How it works
- 1
Choose a CV
Pick a CV you built in QuickApplyPilot or upload a PDF or DOCX file (up to 5 MB, stored privately).
- 2
Paste the job description
Add the full job advert and, optionally, the role and country.
- 3
Review the report
See keyword alignment, readability, formatting and (on paid plans) AI-assisted experience relevance, with recommendations you can apply to a copy of your CV.
Practical tips
- Mirror the job description's terminology only where it truthfully describes your experience.
- Avoid putting key information in images, text boxes or complex tables.
- Use conventional section headings and consistent date formats.
- Re-run the check after editing to compare your improvements over time.
What to know
- The score is QuickApplyPilot's own estimate. It is not the score any employer's ATS produces and does not predict whether you'll be shortlisted.
- We never recommend adding skills or keywords you don't have.
- Text extraction from heavily designed PDFs can be imperfect; a simple layout gives the most reliable result.
