87% of CVs never pass the bot screening.
A bot reads your CV before any person does. Whatever survives gets a few seconds from a recruiter — and most of it is cut for reasons that have nothing to do with the job.

Runs before any person sees you
The file parses, but two normalisation problems mean a screener will misread the career history before anyone assesses the content.

Action plan

Sample profile, used to show the depth of the analysis and the report format.
They used their audit to rework their profile.
Two pieces of feedback received by email, reproduced as written and attributed by initial.
The report was genuinely useful and I reworked my LinkedIn profile off the back of it. Quick, simple way to make your page work like a shop window.
Really enjoyable tool — I got properly drawn into it. Great idea, nicely done.
Very different roles and industries, facing the same question: how does my profile read?

What ApplyCV does, and what it doesn't claim to do.
What do I get for free?+
More than a score. Two of them — how automated screening reads you and how a recruiter does — with all six criteria scored and a one-line verdict on each. Then a positioning read in a recruiter's words, a diagnosis of what's working and what's holding you back, your highest-impact fix, one of your own lines rewritten, a rewritten headline, and every bot-screening fix. No account needed, and it takes about 30 seconds.
What's in the $9.90 report?+
Where your profile lands you today and what would change that, the reasoning behind every score, every fix ranked by impact, and rewritten copy: three headlines, an About section and your key roles. Add a job ad and you also get a full gap analysis and recommendations tailored to that role. It also includes one re-score: make the changes, upload the new version, and the full report is unlocked on it again at no extra cost.
Does ApplyCV invent results to make my profile look better?+
No. Every recommendation is grounded in what your profile or CV already says. We sharpen and reframe your own material — we never invent achievements.
Can I use my CV instead of LinkedIn?+
Yes. Paste a LinkedIn URL, paste your profile text, or upload your CV as a PDF or Word file — whichever suits you.
What happens to my data?+
Your profile text is used to produce your report and nothing else. We don't sell or share it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
