ATS Resume Optimizer

Optimize your resume to pass applicant tracking systems and land more interviews with The CV Tailor’s AI-powered keyword matching.

TL;DR

Upload your resume, paste the job post, and The CV Tailor rewrites each section with ATS-friendly keywords, structure, and formatting. Within minutes you get editable drafts plus exports that parse cleanly in applicant tracking systems.

Why Optimize for ATS?

Why do ATS filters reject strong candidates?

Applicant Tracking Systems scan for exact keywords, clean formatting, and conventional headings. If your resume uses creative layouts or misses core phrases, the algorithm never forwards it to a recruiter.

How does The CV Tailor fix that?

The CV Tailor highlights critical keywords, rewrites bullet points to showcase measurable impact, and ensures the structure remains ATS-safe while still compelling for humans.
