Understand your match instantly

Every job posting looks for different things. A score of 0-100 tells you how well your CV matches that specific role. A high score means you've got the right keywords, relevant experience, and clear structure. A lower score points to gaps you can fix.

What your score tells you

Your CV score breaks down into four components:

  • Keyword Match

    Are the skills and terms from the job posting reflected in your CV?

  • ATS Score

    Will ATS systems successfully parse and understand your CV's structure and formatting?

  • Experience Alignment

    Does your background match the role level (junior, mid, senior)?

  • Clarity & Structure

    Is your CV formatted for both ATS systems and human readers to understand quickly?

Improve your score with specific suggestions

Your score comes with detailed feedback. You see exactly what's affecting it:

  • Keywords you're missing from the job posting
  • Weak phrasing that could be stronger and more specific
  • Experience gaps and how to address them
  • Formatting or structural issues for ATS

Apply only the improvements that fit

Curvit suggests changes — you decide. You review each suggestion and apply only the ones that genuinely fit your experience. Download your improved CV as Word or PDF. A score of 70+ typically means you'll pass ATS screening — focus on quality, not chasing the highest possible score.

Frequently asked questions

What does a CV score mean? +

A CV score is a number between 0-100 showing how well your CV matches a specific job description. A higher score means your CV uses the language the role requires, highlights relevant experience, and is structured in a way that ATS systems can parse. The score helps you quickly understand if you're a strong match for the role.

How is the score calculated? +

Curvit reads your CV and the job description, then analyzes keyword overlap, experience alignment, and clarity. The score factors in: how many required keywords from the job posting appear in your CV, whether your experience matches the role level, and whether your CV is structured for ATS systems to read. You get the score instantly, along with specific feedback on how to improve it.

Is a high score a guarantee of getting the job? +

No. A CV score measures how well your CV matches the job description and ATS requirements — not whether you'll be hired. A high score means you've got a good chance of passing the ATS screening and being reviewed by a human. Your actual interview performance, experience, and interview skills are what determine if you get hired.

Can I improve my score? +

Yes. Curvit shows you exactly what's affecting your score: missing keywords, unclear language, formatting issues, and gaps in relevant experience. For each issue, you get specific suggestions. Apply the ones that fit your background, and your score will improve. Download your improved CV when you're ready.

Should I chase the highest score possible? +

Aim for a score of 70+ to have a strong chance of passing ATS screening. Beyond that, focus on quality over score. Don't add keywords you can't back up in an interview. Curvit never suggests inventing experience — only reframing what you already have to match the role language.
