CV optimiser — pass UK ATS screens without sounding like a robot
Point CV Intel at a UK job advert and it rewrites your CV to hit the keywords the screen expects, quantifies your achievements, and fixes the layout problems that stop applicant tracking systems parsing you properly.
What gets rewritten
The optimiser works clause by clause rather than regenerating the document. Responsibilities become outcomes, vague claims get the numbers you supply attached to them, and the vocabulary shifts to match the advert's own terminology — because ATS keyword matching is literal, and 'management accounts' does not match 'financial reporting'.
Your structure, tone and factual content stay yours. Nothing is invented: if an achievement has no number, the optimiser asks for one rather than fabricating it.
Formatting fixes that actually change outcomes
Two-column layouts, tables, text boxes, headers containing your contact details and skills rendered as icons are the four biggest causes of CVs being parsed into nonsense. The optimiser rebuilds the document as a single-column, semantically-headed layout that both parsers and humans read correctly.
The optimiser will
- Map the advert's required keywords onto your real experience
- Rewrite duty statements as quantified achievements
- Rebuild the layout single-column and ATS-parseable
- Move contact details out of the header into the body
- Flag claims that need a number before they carry weight
- Keep your voice — no generic AI filler
Frequently asked questions
- Will an optimised CV be flagged as AI-written?
- The optimiser edits your existing sentences rather than generating new prose, which keeps the human variation detectors look for. You can run the result through the AI content detector to check before you submit.
- Does it invent experience?
- No. It only rephrases and restructures what you supply, and it prompts you for missing numbers rather than making them up.
- Do I need a separate version per job?
- Yes, and that is the point — ATS keyword matching is role-specific, so run the optimiser once per advert. Each run takes under a minute.
