ATS compatibility check

Before a person sees your CV, an applicant tracking system scans it and converts it into structured text. If it can't read the file, you're filtered out and nobody ever knows. This check shows you exactly what the software sees.

Check your CV now

Upload your CV, and the job advert too if you have it. We test what an applicant tracking system actually tests and tell you what is missing — your file is read inside your own browser and never uploaded.

or drag and drop it here

PDF, DOCX or TXT — up to 10 MB

The check runs entirely inside your browser. Your CV text is never sent to a server and no copy of it is kept.

Which file should I upload?

  1. Word (.docx) is best — it stores the text as written, so Arabic always comes through intact.
  2. PDF works well for English CVs. Arabic ones can come out glyph by glyph, and we will tell you if that happens.
  3. Older .doc files: open in Word and save as .docx first.
  4. If your file is a scan, we will say so — the most important thing you could learn, because an applicant tracking system finds it blank.

What it examines

  • Machine readability: does the system extract all your text, or lose parts of it?
  • Section structure: are your headings standard enough that the software knows where experience ends and education begins?
  • Keyword coverage: how many of the posting's terms actually appear in your CV?
  • Formatting and fonts: are there tables, columns or graphics that break extraction?
  • Contact details: are they somewhere the system will read?

Why the software usually rejects you

In most cases it isn't your experience — it's the shape of the file. Multi-column designs get read out of order, text inside images isn't read at all, and inventive headings like "My professional journey" aren't recognised as a work experience section.

  • Multiple columns that get interleaved during extraction.
  • Information inside images, icons or charts.
  • Non-standard section headings.
  • Contact details inside the page header.
  • Scanned documents or image-based files instead of real text.

How to raise your score

  • Use a template labelled ATS — single column, standard headings.
  • Open the job posting and mirror its exact terminology in your skills and experience.
  • Write the job title exactly as it appears in the posting.
  • Avoid bare acronyms: write "Customer Relationship Management (CRM)" so both forms match.
  • Save a text-based PDF, not an image-based one.
