What is an ATS & why does it matter?
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software employers use to collect, sort, and filter job applications. Before a recruiter reads your CV, the ATS scans it for keywords, formatting, and relevance \u2014 and rejects up to 75% of applicants automatically. If your CV isn’t optimised for the ATS, it may never reach a human.
Keyword gap analysis
We extract the exact keywords the employer’s ATS scans for and flag which ones are missing from your CV.
ATS compatibility score
