Ensuring your CV is ATS compliant

ATS (Applicant Tracking Software) is now the standard selection tool for many national and global organisations - software screens your CV before a human ever sees it. Every CV we write meets international ATS system requirements.

  • Keyword-optimised for the roles you target
  • Clean, single-column, ATS-ready formatting
  • Agreed file types, naming and date conventions

Every CV.CO.NZ CV includes

  • Keyword matching (optimisation) - your CV mirrors the language recruiters and their software are scanning for
  • Simple, clean formatting - single-column, reverse-chronological layouts that parse perfectly
  • ATS-ready fonts - standard, clear typefaces every system recognises
  • Agreed file type & naming conventions - delivered in the formats employers ask for
  • Standardised dates & titles - consistent structure the software reads without errors
  • Reverse-chronological order - the structure ATS systems and recruiters expect

Why it matters

Most large and mid-sized companies screen every application with ATS software before a human reads it. A beautiful CV that the software can’t parse never reaches the hiring manager - even a single unreadable section can filter you out.
