Why a score against the job beats a general score

Generic CV scorers

Grade your CV in isolation against a template of 'good practice'. Useful once, then never again — the score never changes when the job does.

Checking against the job

Scores the pairing. The same CV can be a 48 for one role and an 82 for another, and only the second comparison tells you what to send.

What we check, in order

  1. 1. Evidence. Which of the ad's essential requirements your CV genuinely supports — and which it only implies.
  2. 2. Vocabulary. Where you describe the right work in words the employer's system is not looking for.
  3. 3. Emphasis. Whether your most relevant experience appears early enough for a six-second read.
  4. 4. Parsing. Formatting that risks being dropped before anyone scores it at all.

Honest by design

CareerMatch never invents experience. It re-words, re-orders and re-frames what is already in your CV, and it tells you plainly when a requirement is missing so you can address it yourself.
