Simplify your CV, Change your Future

Did you know that 75% of large companies use scanning software to screen CVs, yet only 25% of applicants make it past the scanner?

That means most CVs are rejected before a human ever sees them.

If your CV isn’t written and formatted to meet the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) criteria, it doesn’t matter how skilled or experienced you are, your application may never reach the shortlist. That’s why having a clear plan to beat the scan is essential.

Simplicity Wins

ATS software is designed to read plain, structured text. It isn’t impressed by creativity, colours or design flair. In fact, those elements often work against you.

Your CV needs to be:

  • Short

  • Simple

  • Easy to read

  • Logically structured

  • Black and white

  • Uncluttered

Every word must earn its place. When your CV is cluttered with unnecessary formatting, important information can be missed or misread.

Formatting Is Crucial

Simple formatting isn’t optional, it’s critical. Recruitment software scans for keywords, job titles, skills and experience that match the role. If your CV is overloaded with fluff or poorly written content, the important details get lost.

A simplified CV:

  • Improves ATS readability

  • Highlights your strengths quickly

  • Makes your experience easy to understand

  • Positions you as professional and credible

This is how you move from the rejected pile to the interview shortlist.
