About the resume check

Is the ATS resume check really free?

Yes. Upload a resume and you get your overall score, the four category scores, and your first three issues with fixes, without creating an account. A free account shows every issue and saves the report. Pro adds fix instructions for every issue.

What is an ATS, and why does it matter?

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software many employers use to collect and sort applications. It reads the text of your resume, so tables, columns, and unusual headings can come through scrambled or empty, and a strong application can be passed over.

What does the check look at?

Four areas, each scored out of 100: format and structure, content quality, ATS compatibility, and Canadian standards. Every issue comes with a plain explanation and an estimate of how much fixing it could help your callback rate.

What makes a resume Canadian?

Canadian resumes leave out a photo, date of birth, marital status, and SIN. They list your city and province (for example, Toronto, ON) instead of a full street address, and use Canadian spelling such as "colour". The check flags each of these.

Which files can I upload?

PDF or Word (.docx) files up to 5 MB. On a phone you can choose a file from Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Downloads.

Is my resume kept private?

Your resume is analyzed for the report and is not shared with employers. If you create an account, the report is saved to it so you can come back to it later.

Can CVMaple fix my resume for me?

Yes. Import your resume into the builder to make the changes yourself, or let the AI apply fixes on a Pro plan. Checks can also be run in French for jobs in Quebec.
