You've sent 50 applications. Two callbacks. Something's wrong with your CV — but you can't see it. That's the worst part. You're guessing blindly while the clock ticks.
ApplyArc is a free resume score checker that analyses your CV against specific job descriptions and gives a percentage match score. It checks keyword alignment, skills coverage, and formatting to show exactly where your resume falls short.
Most "resume score checkers" give you a number and nothing else. You see 62/100 and feel bad. But you don't know WHAT to fix or in WHAT ORDER. A number without next steps is useless. You need a system that turns your score into actions.
Most tools give a single number with no breakdown. Is 72 good? Bad? Which part of your CV is dragging you down? You're left guessing.
Even tools that show issues list them randomly. You waste time fixing minor formatting when a keyword gap is costing you 15 points.
You check once, panic, and never come back. Without a system that tracks improvement over time, scoring is a one-time anxiety spike. Not a growth tool.
Drop your CV into ApplyArc. Optionally paste a job description for role-specific scoring that shows exactly how well you match.

"Your overall score is 58. Here's your 3-day plan to reach 80: Day 1. ATS Compatibility (currently 42): add the missing keywords ‘project management’, ‘cross-functional teams’, and ‘agile’ to your summary and skills sections. Day 2. Impact (currently 51): add metrics to your top 5 bullets. Team sizes, budgets, percentages. Day 3. Completeness (currently 60): add a professional summary and expand your skills section. Expected score after all fixes: 82–87."
The Coach adapts as your score improves. Each day's recommendations build on yesterday's progress. That's an action system. Not a one-time audit.
Based on typical improvement patterns. Results depend on your starting point and how closely you follow the daily action plan.

A score of 80+ across all five factors puts you in a strong position for most roles. But the number alone isn't the point. What matters is knowing WHERE you're losing points and fixing those areas first. A CV that scores 65 overall but has a 90 in ATS compatibility will outperform a 75-overall CV with a 40 in ATS. ApplyArc shows you the breakdown so you can prioritise strategically.
Each of the five factors. ATS Compatibility, Content Quality, Impact, Completeness, and Readability. Is scored independently on a 0–100 scale using AI analysis. The overall score is a weighted average that emphasises the factors most likely to affect your interview chances. ATS compatibility and content quality carry slightly more weight because they determine whether your CV reaches a human.
Most users improve by 10–15 points within 2–3 days by following the prioritised action plan. The biggest quick wins are usually adding missing keywords (ATS Compatibility), adding metrics to 3–5 bullets (Impact), and fixing formatting issues (Readability). ApplyArc orders your fixes by expected score impact so you get maximum improvement from minimum effort.
Yes. When you paste a job description alongside your CV, the scoring adjusts to match that role's expectations. A software engineer's CV is scored differently from a marketing manager's. Different keyword expectations, different section priorities, different impact metrics. Without a job description, we score against general best practices for your experience level.
