4. CV SCORING SERVICE — IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The free ATS CV score and full ATS CV report are based on a subjective manual review of your CV by a human reviewer. They are not produced by certified, accredited or regulated professionals. The scores provided are estimates only, based on general ATS principles and best practice. Without a specific job description, keyword matching cannot be fully assessed and scores may change once your CV is targeted to a specific role.
I am not a recruitment agency and do not represent any employer. Submitting your CV to The ATS Insider does not constitute a job application and does not guarantee interviews, job offers or any specific outcome.
Your CV and personal data will not be shared with any third parties. Your CV will be deleted within 7 days of your score or report being delivered unless you request otherwise.
