Low Score

You have a below average score. This means that according to our system your CV is a poor match for some of the things that employers look for when it comes to the jobs you are targeting.

Will this be enough to get you into the next stage in your application?

Probably not. It really depends on the recruiter/company and if they use ATS or not. If so then the odds are that you won’t progress with this CV, but it really depends who you are applying to, if they use ATS, and if so what their algorithm and/or what their recruitment criteria is.

What is the next stage?

As your score is below average, your chances of progressing to the next stage are also arguably below-average.

Employers do not make decisions on ATS systems alone, but a below average score generally indicates that your CV is in need of serious attention anyway. In particular, it sounds like your CV isn't focused or relevant enough for applications to your target job.

Other considerations other areas for improvement

In addition to things that are relevant to ATS checks, such as keyword density, employers also take into consideration a variety of different things when reading CVs. For example, your communication skills, your achievements, and how will you sell yourself.

We usually find that even CVs with decent (let alone average or poor) ATS ratings can be vastly improved with an expert touch.
