Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What to expect before you start your FinestCV analysis.

Can FinestCV guarantee my CV will pass an ATS?+

No. Employers configure different systems and rules. FinestCV simulates common parsing and readability checks rather than claiming to reproduce a specific employer's decision.

What ATS issues does the checker look for?+

The analysis considers text extraction, recognisable sections and dates, contact details, and presentation patterns such as tables or complex layouts that may create parsing risks.

Which CV file types can I check?+

You can upload a PDF or DOCX file within the displayed upload limit.
