Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System is software used by employers to filter CVs before a human recruiter ever sees them. Research suggests up to 75% of CVs are filtered out automatically.

❓ Why isn’t my CV getting responses?

In most cases it’s not your experience — it’s how your CV is formatted and worded. ATS systems look for specific keywords and layouts. If yours doesn’t match, it gets filtered out.

🆓 What is a free ATS CV score?

Email your CV and the job description you’re applying for to theatsinsider@gmail.com and I’ll score it against ATS criteria within 48 hours. No cost, no catch.

🤖 What’s the difference between the free score and the full report?

The free score tells you how well your CV performs against ATS. The full report (£49.99) explains every issue in detail and tells you exactly how to fix it.

💡 Do your guides guarantee me a job?

No — and anyone who promises that isn’t being honest. What I can do is give you the best possible chance of getting seen. The rest is up to you.

👋 Who are the guides for?

Anyone actively job hunting, recently made redundant, returning to work, or applying without success. If your CV isn’t getting responses, these guides are for you.
