How it works

Five things it checks

  • Structure — clear sections that hiring software can tell apart.
  • Completeness — a summary, dates, skills and contact details in place.
  • Keywords — the terms of your field, weighted for the Target role if you give one.
  • Numbers — results you can measure, such as “cut costs by 20%”.
  • Consistency — dates, titles and wording that agree with each other.

You get one score out of 100, an Audit summary and 3–8 Recommended improvements, each saying why it matters and what to change.

Good to know

Raise it step by step

  • Start with the first improvements, fix them by hand or with the Twin Advisor, then run a new audit.
  • A strong, complete CV can score above 90; a mostly empty one scores low and is told to fill in first.
  • The audit reads your CV's content, not its design. For strict portals, download the Plain ATS design.
  • It doesn't compare you with a job ad — for that, use the JD matcher.

FAQ

Questions about the ATS score

A visitor asks a question at a help desk and the twin robot answers it
Do I need a score of 100?

No. The score is a guide to what to fix, not a pass mark. Work through the improvements that apply to you, and stop when the advice gets minor.

Will a real ATS give me the same score?

No — every company's software works differently, and none shows you a score. Twin CV's audit checks what they all rely on: a readable structure, complete details and the right keywords.
