Free CV Health Check
No job description needed. Paste your CV and get an honest, instant assessment of ATS readiness, bullet quality, formatting, and your top 5 improvements.
What the Health Check looks at
You paste your CV, no job description needed and TAILOR scores it on its own, against general ATS and recruiter standards. You get four scores and a plain-English breakdown of what is pulling each one down.
Overall
Your CV at a glance
ATS-ready
Can the software read and pass it on
Bullet quality
Results, or just responsibilities
Format
Clean structure the parser can follow
Alongside the scores you get your top issues, your top improvements, the ATS keyword categories you are missing and rewrites of your weakest bullets.
Why most CVs score low
- ✕
ATS-breaking formatting, columns, tables, text boxes and header graphics confuse the parser, so your information lands in the wrong place or is lost.
- ✕
Responsibilities instead of results, "Responsible for a team" tells. "Led 8 people, cut processing time 30%" sells. Numbers tied to outcomes are what get remembered.
- ✕
Generic, untailored content, a CV written for no specific role matches no specific role well.
- ✕
US conventions on a UK CV, US spelling, "resume" structure and wrong date formats read as off to a UK recruiter.
- ✕
Wrong length or structure, too long, too dense or missing the standard sections a recruiter scans for.
What your score is telling you to do next
The Health Check reviews your CV on its own, so you can see what to fix. The next step, for a role you actually want, is pairing your CV with that job ad, the full TAILOR analysis, which produces six tailored documents: a tailored CV, alignment report, cover letter, interview brief, company research and a 30/60/90-day plan.

Health Check FAQ
Is the CV Health Check really free?
Yes. No card, no payment and no documents are downloaded, you get the score and the feedback on screen in about 30 seconds.
Do I need a job description?
No. The Health Check reviews your CV on its own, against general ATS and recruiter standards. Pairing your CV with a specific job ad is the full TAILOR analysis, a separate, paid step.
What does the Health Check actually score?
Four things: an overall score, ATS-readiness, bullet quality and formatting. It also flags your top issues, your top improvements, the ATS keyword categories you are missing and rewrites of weak bullets.
Do you store my CV?
Your CV text is processed to produce the assessment and is never sold. See the privacy policy for detail.
How is this different from the full TAILOR analysis?
The Health Check scores your CV in isolation, so you can see what to fix. The full analysis pairs your CV with a specific job ad and produces six tailored documents, a tailored CV, alignment report, cover letter, interview brief, company research and a 30/60/90-day plan.
