The ATS is the software that scans your CV before a person reads it. Passing it is one part of five. Paste your CV, no job ad, and in under a minute you get a score out of 100 and the five things a recruiter reads for, each with the question it asks of your page. The score is free with no account. The breakdown of your own lines needs one, no card.
Free score, no account
The score, its verdict and the five dimensions are yours before you type an email address. The email opens the breakdown: which of your lines lost the points, and the fix for each.
The score
One number out of 100, a one-line verdict, and five dimensions out of 20 with the question each one asks. Free, before any email. The breakdown behind them names the lines that lost the points and the fix for each.
The five dimensions
The score comes from these, each out of 20. Only the last one is the scan most free checkers stop at.
Does a reader learn how big the work was?
Does each line say what changed, or only what you were responsible for?
Do your numbers land, or are they decoration?
After the top third, is it clear what you should be hired to do next?
Can a machine and a human both parse the page?
After the scanner
Whether the ATS can parse your file is the Readability dimension, one of five. The other four are about the reader after it: does a recruiter learn how big the work was, what changed, whether your numbers land, and what you should be hired to do next. A CV can pass the machine and still lose the person.
Passing the scanner is one part of five.
The next step
The free score reads your CV alone. ATS Score, a mode inside Careersy, matches it against one job description: the ad’s words your CV never uses, where they are true of you, and the fix to make first. Run it on the roles you are about to apply for, after the page itself is right.
CV Score reads the page. ATS Score reads it against one job.
The score needs no account, no name, no email. To read your CV, it goes to our AI provider in the US, and it is never used to train their models. If you do not claim the breakdown, the scan is deleted within 24 hours; if you do, it stays in your account until you delete it.
Yes. The score, its verdict and the five dimensions cost nothing and need no account. The breakdown, which of your own lines lost the points and the fix for each, asks for an email. That creates your free Careersy account, no card, with 3 free messages on us to start.
No. An ATS checker matches your CV against one job ad; that is ATS Score, a separate mode inside Careersy. The free score reads your CV on its own: readability is one of its five dimensions, and the other four are about whether a recruiter learns how big the work was, what changed, whether the numbers land, and what you should be hired to do next. A CV can pass the machine and still lose the reader.
No. You paste the text. Nothing to upload, nothing to install.
Not unless you claim the breakdown. The score is anonymous, nothing is attached to you, and the scan is deleted within 24 hours. A claimed report stays in your account until you delete it.
That is what it is built for, by a recruiter who spent 13 years shortlisting in this market. Length and structure are read the way they get read here, not the way a US template assumes.
A low score is a read on one page, not on your career. The page is the thing you can change this afternoon, and the breakdown names the lines.
