Get past the first skim.
Recruiters spend 6 seconds on your CV before deciding to keep reading or move on. We show you exactly why they stop — then fix it.
Your CV has two filters.
You're only optimizing for one.
The Software Filter
ATS — Applicant Tracking Systems
Keyword matching. Format parsing. Every resume tool optimizes for this. It's table stakes.
ATS decides if your CV gets seen.
The Human Filter
The recruiter's 6-second decision
Pattern recognition. Risk scanning. Forwarding justification. Almost nobody optimizes for this. This is where you're losing.
A recruiter decides if your CV gets forwarded.
We optimize for the human.
How recruiters actually screen your CV.
Three cognitive phases. Each one can end your candidacy before you even know it happened.
Pattern Match
The recruiter isn't reading. They're doing unconscious visual pattern recognition.
- •Can I tell what this person does?
- •Do I recognize the company?
- •Does the seniority match?
Most CVs are rejected here. Silently.
Risk Scan
Now they're scanning for reasons to reject. They're not looking for good things.
- •Job hopping pattern?
- •Unexplained gaps?
- •Do claims seem inflated?
One red flag is enough to move on.
Forwarding Decision
One question: “Can I justify sending this to the hiring manager?”
- •Can I pitch this person in one sentence?
- •Are there proof points I can reference?
- •Will I look bad for forwarding this?
If the answer is “maybe,” it means no.
This is what recruiters actually think.
Generic tools say “add more numbers.” We show you exactly where you're losing and why.
“Managed cloud infrastructure and ensured system reliability across multiple environments.”
“What infrastructure? What does ‘ensured reliability’ mean? The candidate before you wrote ‘reduced AWS costs by $1.2M/year.’ You just lost that comparison.”
“Migrated 340 microservices to Kubernetes, cutting deploy time from 2 hours to 8 minutes. Maintained 99.97% uptime across 12M daily requests.”
“Led engineering efforts across multiple teams and initiatives to drive technical excellence.”
“How many teams? 2 or 20? ‘Technical excellence’ is filler. I can't pitch you to a hiring manager with this. Give me something I can actually say.”
“Led 3 cross-functional teams (14 engineers) to ship real-time fraud detection system processing $2.1B in annual transactions.”
“Responsible for stakeholder management and on-time project delivery.”
“This is a job description, not a CV. Every manager delivers projects. Tell me what actually happened because you were there.”
“Shipped 4 major releases in 12 months. Reduced stakeholder escalations 60% by replacing status meetings with async weekly updates.”
What we measure.
Not vague “resume quality.” Five specific dimensions that map to how recruiters actually make decisions.
Skim Survivability
Will a recruiter keep reading after 6 seconds? Measures visual structure, title clarity, and information hierarchy.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
What percentage of your CV is useful signal vs. filler? Flags responsibility language, redundancy, and hollow phrases.
Risk Density
How many red flags will a recruiter find? Gaps, job hopping, title inflation, and inconsistencies that trigger silent rejection.
Forwardability
Can a recruiter justify sending your CV to the hiring manager? Measures proof points, level match, and pitch extractability.
Attention Anchors
Will anything from your CV stick in a recruiter's memory 10 minutes later? Measures standout achievements and narrative clarity.
0 – 100
Each dimension scored and mapped to a real recruiter decision checkpoint.
