Enhancv's CV Checker evaluates using a dual-system
Most CVs get screened by applicant tracking systems (ATS) before reaching recruiters. ATS searches for keywords and adds the CV to a database. The success of your CV depends on its optimisation for the job, the template used, and included skills and keywords.

Like an ATS, we analyse and attempt to comprehend your CV. The more we understand, the better it aligns with a company's ATS.

Frequently asked questions
What is a CV checker?
A CV checker evaluates and improves CVs by checking formatting, relevant keywords, grammar, spelling errors, and content relevance.

How do I check my CV score?
Upload your CV to Enhancv’s CV Checker. After the check, you'll be redirected to a page with your report and score. Remember, there's no actual "ATS score." Our scoring system is based on content parsing and issues found.
How do I improve my CV score?
To boost your CV score:
- Rewrite your experience with quantifiable achievements.
- Include relevant skills from the job posting.
- Add an accomplishments section.
- Use a PDF format and a professional template.

How do I know my CV is ATS-compliant?
Ensure your CV includes keywords from the job description, uses simple formatting, and has conventional headings. A PDF format from a dedicated builder like Enhancv ensures intact formatting.
What is a good ATS score?
A score above 80 is generally good. However, key sections like contact information and experience should be impeccable. Review your CV thoroughly before applying.
Can an ATS read PDFs?
Yes, PDFs are typically readable by ATS and often score higher because they are static and uneditable once saved.
How do I review my CV for errors?
Review the entire CV for alignment, consistency, and accuracy. Proofread and conduct quality checks to ensure the final document is cohesive.
What should I focus on when checking my CV?
Common mistakes include using clichés, lying, typos, listing responsibilities instead of achievements, and not tailoring CVs for each job. Maintain clean formatting and include both paid and unpaid experiences.
Can I create a CV checklist?
Create a checklist with key information such as job achievements, personality traits, extracurricular activities, and relevant projects. Compare your CV with the checklist and job description to ensure completeness.
Should I read my CV after writing it?
Start well in advance, then review your CV after a few days. This fresh perspective helps spot mistakes you might have missed.
Does your CV checker serve other purposes?
Yes, Enhancv’s CV checker is useful for creating targeted CVs for specific job postings. It also checks grammar and provides an overall critique to help find and fix mistakes.
