FAQ’s

What is CV optimisation and why is it important?

CV optimisation improves how your experience is presented, structured, and understood by recruiters and Applicant Tracking Systems.

Modern recruitment relies on systems that scan for keywords and clear formatting. A well-optimised CV improves recruiter readability and increases your chances of being shortlisted.

Why is my CV not getting interviews?

If your CV is not generating responses, it is often due to structure and keyword alignment rather than experience.

Recruiters review CVs quickly, and systems filter applications before they are seen. If your CV is not aligned with how roles are searched, it may not reach the right audience.

What is an ATS friendly CV?

An ATS friendly CV is designed to work within Applicant Tracking Systems.

This means:
– Clear structure
– Relevant keyword alignment
– Simple, readable formatting1

These elements help ensure your CV is correctly processed and visible to recruiters.
