Your CV is being judged in seconds. Make sure it passes.

Recruiters and automated systems decide whether to reject your CV before a human ever reads it. Talup's CV Score shows you exactly how your CV performs - and why. When you know what needs work, you can move straight into the CV Optimiser, build a cleaner final version in CV Studio, or compare paid options on the pricing page.

What recruiters decide in the first 10 seconds

Most CVs are rejected for the same few reasons - and it has nothing to do with experience.

Clear ownership of work

Recruiters want to see what you personally delivered, not vague team summaries.

Clean, readable timelines

Clear dates and progression build trust fast.

Easy-to-scan structure

If it cannot be scanned in seconds, it gets skipped.

ATS-friendly formatting

Automated scanners need structure that is easy to read.

Talup checks your CV against these exact signals and gives you a clear score - so you know where you stand before you apply.

Your results are saved so you can improve once and reuse everywhere.

What your CV is checked on

Your CV is analysed across the key areas recruiters and hiring systems consistently look for.

Ownership

Does the CV clearly show what the individual personally did?

We check for clear responsibilities, measurable outcomes, and avoidance of vague or generic statements. Lack of ownership makes CVs blend in and get ignored.

Punctuality

Are dates, timelines, and experience clear and consistent?

We check for consistent formatting, clear progression, and unexplained gaps. Messy timelines raise red flags even when experience is strong.

Spelling & Grammar

Checks for basic errors that still cause rejections.

We check for spelling errors, grammar issues, and inconsistent wording.

Layout & Readability

Can the CV be scanned in under 10 seconds?

We check structure, section clarity, spacing, and visual flow. If a CV is hard to scan, it won't get read.

ATS Optimisation

Many companies use automated systems to scan CVs before a recruiter sees them.

We check for ATS-friendly formatting, readable structure, and content that won't be misread or skipped. Poorly formatted CVs can be rejected automatically.
