Your name is read first
The first thing a parser reads should be your name, not a label, a date or a photo caption.
Free ATS check
Does an ATS read your CV the way you wrote it?
Drop your PDF. In a few seconds you see the text a parser takes out of it, in the order it reads it, and the eight checks it passes or fails. No account, no credits.

Eight checks
What a parser gets out of your PDF.
The same checks Rolebranch runs on every export, on your own file: the reading order, what comes through whole, and what a system would miss.
Email read in full
An address split by a line break or a column is an address nobody gets.
Phone read in full
Spaces and brackets are fine. A number broken across two lines reads as two numbers.
Headings read as headings
Experience, Education and Skills found as sections, so entries land in the right place.
Text, not a picture
Every word is real text. A scanned page, or a header saved as an image, reads as nothing.
Fonts embedded
The font travels inside the PDF, so the text extracts the same on every system.
Readable size and contrast
Body text at 9 pt or more, and your accent colour dark enough on white.
One or two pages
Parsers read every page; recruiters rarely do. The check counts them and says so.
What it is, and isn't
An estimate, said plainly.
Every applicant tracking system reads a little differently. We use pdf.js, the reader many of them build on, so what is missing or out of order here is likely missing there too. The check reads your document, not your career: it says nothing about whether your experience fits a job.
For your content, Rolebranch's CV score (free, in the app) runs twenty checks on what recruiters read first: evidence, work history, readability and how to reach you. How the score is calculated
What the check never does
- Judge your experience or your wording
- Compare you with other applicants
- Know the job you are applying for
- Keep your file past 30 minutes, or read it twice
- Send it to anyone
Kept privately for 30 minutes, then deleted. A bot check runs first. Up to three checks an hour per visitor.
Fix what it finds, free.
Import the same PDF as your master CV: the score shows what to improve, Romy tailors it for each job, and every template's export passes this check.
