CVExpert ATS Health Check

Paste a CV and this tool runs five checks over it — contact details, sections, evidence, length and readable text — and shows each one individually. The site frames that as the point: five visible checks and no mystery score, so you can see which specific thing failed rather than being handed a number to interpret.

The advice attached to the checks is concrete. Use familiar labels for core sections so the structure reads as expected; show outcomes rather than duties alone, adding truthful numbers where they improve understanding; and prioritise relevant evidence over extra length. The page also prompts you to review the exported file itself, since a CV that reads fine on screen can lose its text layer once exported.

It is deliberately a foundations check — clarity before decoration — and comparing the CV against a specific job is treated as a separate step afterwards. The check is free and requires no sign-up, with the wider CVExpert product carrying paid plans; the listing states that pasted text is not uploaded or saved.
