A recruiter's checklist, applied in seconds
Six dimensions, scored the way a recruiter reads a CV. The AI does the heavy lifting; the method comes from 20+ years of UK hiring.
Keyword Coverage
We match your CV against the JD to find exactly which terms you're hitting and what gaps are costing you interviews.
ATS Compatibility
Can Taleo, Workday, and Greenhouse actually parse your CV? We check section headings, formatting, length, and file structure.
Tone & Writing Style
Strong action verbs, confident language, no passive constructions. We score the quality of how you communicate your experience.
Content Quality
Quantified achievements, specific results, and evidence-led bullets. We flag generic filler that dilutes your strongest moments.
CV Structure
Logical section order, clear headings, consistent dates. Recruiters spend 7 seconds on a CV. Your structure must guide their eye.
Skills Alignment
Are you leading with the right skills for your target role? We compare your skills section against role expectations for your sector.

Before a recruiter sees your CV, software decides
Most large UK employers route applications through an applicant tracking system (ATS) such as Taleo, Workday, or Greenhouse. The software parses your CV, matches it against the job description, and scores it before a recruiter ever opens the file. If your CV isn't structured for that parser (no clear headings, dense formatting, missing keywords), you can be the strongest candidate for the role and still be screened out.
The Career Playbook taster gives you an instant, free assessment across six dimensions: keyword coverage against the job description, ATS compatibility, tone and writing style, content quality, CV structure, and skills alignment. You get a composite score and a prioritised action plan, the same methodology our AI and senior UK recruiters use on the full product.
