FAQ
What does an ATS checker measure?
It measures whether recruiting software can extract and understand the structure of your CV. It does not replace a job-specific fit analysis.
Can a beautiful CV fail ATS parsing?
Yes. Complex layouts, unclear sections or non selectable text can make a CV harder for ATS systems to read.
Should ATS be my first step?
Only if you need a quick file-readability check. For stronger applications, start with Job Fit, adapt the CV to the role, then run ATS before export.
