You've spent hours writing your CV. But in the rush to apply, you skip the final review. Formatting issues, keyword gaps, and missing sections get your application auto-rejected before a human ever sees it.
Broken links, inconsistent date formats, and ATS-breaking tables hide in plain sight. You won't spot them by skimming. And neither will your friend who 'proof-read' it.
75% of CVs are rejected by ATS before reaching a human. Without matching keywords from the job description, your qualifications don't matter.
Scrolling up and down your CV is not a review process. Without a systematic checklist, you check what you remember and miss what you don't.

Manual checklists work. But they take time, they're easy to rush through, and they can't compare your CV against the actual job description. ApplyArc runs every check automatically and tells you exactly what failed and how to fix it.
Drop your CV into ApplyArc. The AI parses every section, header, bullet point, and formatting detail in seconds.
Contact details, formatting, content quality, keyword coverage, and final checks. All verified automatically against your target role.
Every failed check comes with a specific fix, prioritised by impact. This becomes today's action plan.
Not a checkbox you tick yourself. An AI that validates your CV and tells you what's wrong.
The AI verifies every item in seconds. No more scrolling through your CV hoping you haven't missed something. Automated means thorough, every single time.
Goes beyond what you can see: checks for hidden formatting issues, table-based layouts that break parsing, and keyword density that determines whether your CV passes the ATS filter.
The checklist adapts to your target role. A product manager's CV is evaluated differently from a data analyst's. Keywords, section expectations, and formatting standards adjust automatically.
Failed checks become today's to-do list, prioritised by impact. Fix the highest-value items first and rerun the check. This is how an action system turns weakness into strength.
Not sure if you've missed something? Ask the Coach: "Is my CV ready to submit for this role?" It checks everything. Formatting, keywords, content quality, completeness. And gives you a yes/no with reasons.
🤖 AI Career Coach
"Your CV passes 21 of 25 checks. Before you submit for the Senior Analyst role at Deloitte, fix these 4 items: (1) Your LinkedIn URL still has the default random string. customise it. (2) Add ‘data visualisation’ and ‘stakeholder reporting’ to your skills section. both appear in the job description. (3) Bullet 6 has no metric . Add the team size or budget figure. (4) Your file is named ‘CV_final_v3.pdf’. Rename to ‘FirstName-LastName-CV.pdf’. Fix these today and you're ready to submit."
The Coach doesn't just check boxes. It understands context. It knows that a missing metric matters more than a font size preference. That's the difference between a checklist and an action system.
