An ATS CV checker helps you understand exactly how applicant tracking systems will parse your CV. Most UK job applications go through ATS software first — systems like Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and Lever scan your CV for keywords, parse your formatting, and assign a score before any human reviews your application.
