ATS filtering

A strong CV still needs to be readable by software

Applicant tracking systems scan your CV for structure and job-specific language. If the system cannot parse your sections or find the expected keywords, your CV may be ranked lower even when you are qualified.

Keyword matching

Hireva checks whether your CV contains the skills, tools, credentials, and responsibilities repeated in the job advert.

Formatting issues

It helps identify layout choices that can confuse ATS parsing, including complex columns, image-based text, and unclear section headings.

Common CV mistakes

Simple mistakes can lower your ATS match

Using one generic CV for every country, role, and industry.

Missing the exact skills, licenses, systems, tools, or job titles from the job advert.

Adding tables, columns, icons, charts, or headers that ATS parsers may read incorrectly.

Listing duties without measurable achievements or role-specific keywords.

Using unusual section names that make experience, education, or certifications harder to parse.

Saving a design-heavy CV when the employer expects a simple ATS-friendly document.
