All of a filter, or none of it.
A board either carries a filter properly or does not get it. Half a filter sent as a guessed parameter is either dropped silently or matched against the wrong field, which is worse than not sending it.

FIND JOBS
Eight job boards, one search, and it tells you what each one ignored.
You type the search once — title, location, radius, remote or on-site, permanent or contract, full or part time, minimum salary, posted within — and get eight ready-made searches back: Indeed, LinkedIn, Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, Adzuna, Find a job (GOV.UK) and NHS Jobs.
The part nobody else does is the honesty about the boards that cannot take your filters. Adzuna ignores your radius and all four attribute filters. Find a job and NHS Jobs ignore six of the eight. Each card prints what that board dropped, because a filter that fails silently looks exactly like a job market with nothing in it — and you would never know to look again.
Your last search is still there.
It comes back filled in, so the second day of looking is not the first day retyped.
SAID PLAINLYThis sends your search to the boards and opens them. It does not pull their results back into ATS Engine, because none of them licenses that for a product like this — Indeed and LinkedIn block it outright. So there is no one list, no scoring from this screen, and nothing saved from it.
↑ back to the menuSearch eight boards in one go. It is in the fortnight from the first day, and no card is asked for.
Start free — 14 days →VACANCIES FROM YOUR INBOX
You already get the job alerts. Nothing reads them.
Indeed, Reed and the rest have been emailing you for weeks. Those emails are where the vacancies already are, and they are yours, which is the one route into your inbox that needs nobody’s licence. Connect the mailbox and ATS Engine lifts the real job links out of them into a list you can search, filter and act on.
One row per vacancy.
The same link twice is folded on a hash of the address. Once a row has both a real title and a real company, a second copy under a different link folds into it too.
Blocked is said, not faked.
Where a site refuses the fetch, the row reads blocked and you are told to paste the description in. A Cloudflare holding page is never stored as if it were the job description.
Straight into a score.
Analyse this job takes the title, the description and the link into Job Analysis in one move. The board is deliberately not filled in as the employer — a wrong employer is worse than a blank you complete.
SAID PLAINLYThis is not a crawl of the job boards and it finds nothing on its own. It reads job-alert emails that already arrive in a mailbox you have connected, and new rows appear only when you press Scan. Nothing in an alert email says when an advert closes, so a listing being on the list does not mean it is still open.
↑ back to the menuPoint it at the job alerts you already get. Fourteen days to find out what is actually in them.
Start free — 14 days →THE MATCH SCORE
The job asks for specific things. They are rarely the ones in bold.
Paste the advert. It is pulled apart first — seniority, years asked for, the skills named, and which requirements are must-have rather than nice-to-have, read off the advert’s own cue words. Then your CV is scored against it, criterion by criterion, with every requirement carrying the evidence it actually earned.
Three parts, published weights.
ATS readability is 30 of the score, fit against this job 50, and evidence of capability 20. You can see which part is costing you.
A salary range, not its floor.
£80,000–£110,000 is read as a range. An earlier version stopped at the first figure, which is the bottom of a salary presented as though it were the whole thing.
No AI scores you.
Nothing about the number comes from a model. The parse and the scoring are deterministic, which is why the same CV and the same advert give the same answer twice.
A check that could not run is not a check you failed
When an advert does not carry what a criterion needs, that criterion is set aside and its weight leaves the total — you see “scored on 70 of 100 points” and the reason, not a quiet zero. An advert too thin to compare against anything says so: nothing here could be compared against your CV; that is about the advert, not about you. And with no CV on file the badge reads “no CV to compare”, never 0%.
SAID PLAINLYThis is not a prediction of whether you will be shortlisted, and it is not what a real employer’s system will score you — no real ATS is queried. A missing skill means the advert used a word your CV does not; whether you can do the thing is a different claim and this does not make it. The free checker on this site uses default weights and an account uses your own, so the two numbers can differ.
↑ back to the menuScore a real advert against your own CV. No card, and nothing to cancel.
Start free — 14 days →WHAT MOVES THE SCORE
It is not looking for the word. It is looking for the evidence.
Every skill sits in one of four bands, and the band is what counts, not the mention. Not found earns nothing. Named once earns 0.4 of the points. Practised earns 0.7. Evidenced with a result earns all of it — and that top band needs the skill to appear in a sentence that also carries an outcome you can count.
Why the bands exist at all.
The first version asked one question per requirement: does this word appear anywhere. Against thirteen generic requirements the answer was yes thirteen times, on every advert. A score with nothing in it that measures depth cannot go down, and a score that cannot go down is not a measurement.
Two ways to climb a band.
Confirm a skill you have really used and it moves from not found to practised. Add another CV and a skill mentioned once can become one you clearly practised. Both move the number, because both add real evidence.
SAID PLAINLYThe bands are deliberately coarse, because a finer scale would imply a precision this evidence does not carry. And the outcome detector looks for figures, so “cut the release cycle from six weeks to four” currently reads as unquantified. That is a known blind spot, not a secret.
↑ back to the menuFind out which band your skills are really in. Fourteen days of the whole thing, free.
Start free — 14 days →APPLICATION TRACKER
One record per role. Including the one you forgot.
Which ones you chased, which went quiet, whether the one you actually wanted ever replied. The spreadsheet lasted a fortnight. Here every application carries its stage and its dates, and the stage can only move the way a real process moves.
Only the real next moves.
Applied goes to interviewing, rejected or withdrawn. Interviewing goes to offer, rejected or withdrawn. Accepted, rejected and withdrawn are the end. A draft cannot jump to offer and a rejection cannot be quietly reopened.
Every change recorded.
From, to, when, by whom. Written by the record itself rather than by whichever screen made the change, because a history that depends on each screen remembering is a history with holes in it.
Scored but not sent.
Score a job and it is kept for you as waiting, or as a longshot if it fell below your threshold. Those sit outside your application count, because nobody applied to them.
It also nudges, in the bell and nowhere else: fourteen days after you applied with nothing moving, forty-eight hours before an interview, and twenty-one days stuck at interviewing. If something did move, the nudge does not arrive.
SAID PLAINLYNothing watches your browser, so it cannot notice that you applied somewhere — a row exists because you or the email agent put it there. Duplicates are caught on the same job posting; two hand-logged rows for the same role worded differently are not. Nudges are bell notifications, never email, because unsolicited nagging is how an app gets deleted. Free holds ten open applications at a time.
↑ back to the menuPut every application you have open into one tracker. Fourteen days free.
Start free — 14 days →THE EMAIL AGENT
The replies arrive in your inbox. The tracker is somewhere else.
Connect your mailbox and copies of the messages come in and get sorted — interviews, offers, rejections, job alerts — by rules you can see and edit. Then, if you let it, a rejection email moves the matching application to rejected without you doing it.
Two switches, both off.
One lets it change a status. The other lets it add an application you never created. You are asked separately, because moving a row you made is a correction and adding one is the agent putting something in your pipeline.
Your mailbox is never touched.
Nothing is deleted, moved or labelled on the server. The folders are inside ATS Engine. With the switches off, you get “would move application 41” and the decision stays yours.
Unsure means it stops.
An email is matched by the posting’s own address first, then by company and role. If the match is ambiguous, or the company is missing, it refuses to act rather than guessing at your pipeline.
SAID PLAINLYIt is inbound only. It never sends anything on your behalf — a job-seeker account cannot even see the outgoing mail settings, so there are no automatic follow-ups or thank-you notes. Connecting is a mailbox host, port, username and password you enter yourself; there is no one-click Gmail or Outlook sign-in. It reads your inbox, up to 500 new messages a run. It is not on the Free plan.
↑ back to the menuLet the replies file themselves, if you switch it on. Both switches stay yours. Free for a fortnight.
Start free — 14 days →INTERVIEW PACK
The week before an interview should not be guesswork.
A pack built from the advert you are actually going to, in four parts: questions on the skills it asks for, questions on the gaps it found, behavioural questions weighted for the seniority in the posting, and questions straight off your own CV — quoting your own achievement, at your own employer, the way an interviewer reading it would.
Know who you are talking to.
A brief on the company alongside it: an overview, the culture you can reasonably expect, anything recent, and the questions worth asking them. It is told to hedge rather than invent, and to leave recent developments empty rather than make one up.
- Company overview
- Culture & values
- Recent developments
- Questions to ask
No blank page.
Up to twelve questions on the must-haves, four on the gaps, six behavioural, four on your CV. Enough that preparation starts with reading rather than staring.
SAID PLAINLYThe questions are templates over the advert and your CV, not an AI interviewer, and they are not the employer’s real questions. There are no mock interviews, no answer scoring and no feedback on your answers. The company brief is AI-drafted prep and the screen says so — it is not fact-checked the way a CV claim is. Job Seeker includes one pack a month; unlimited is Pro.
↑ back to the menuGenerate a pack for the interview you have next. Fourteen days, no card.
Start free — 14 days →STAR STORIES
Six good stories, written once, ready every time.
Situation, task, action, result, in your words, tagged with the skills each one demonstrates — so the night before an interview you are choosing a story rather than inventing one. A coverage chart shows which skills you already have a story for and which you do not.
Nothing writes them for you.
There is deliberately no generate-my-STAR-story button. Your own account of what happened is the thing other checks measure generated claims against; it is not something this product should write on your behalf.
They feed everything else.
A story is treated as first-class evidence elsewhere — better than what you pasted into a form, because it is your own reviewed words about your own work.
SAID PLAINLYFree holds none and Job Seeker holds two at a time; unlimited is Pro. They do not expire monthly, because writing about something you really did is not a monthly allowance.
↑ back to the menuWrite your six stories once. They are yours to keep after the fortnight ends.
Start free — 14 days →YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE
Rewritten against the jobs you have actually applied to.
Paste your headline, your About and your roles. What comes back is aimed at the keywords that keep recurring in the adverts you have really gone for — and before you spend a run, it shows you those keywords with the number of your own applications that asked for each.
Three headlines, not one.
Three genuinely different options to choose between, a rewritten About, three to six achievement bullets per role, and your skills reordered. LinkedIn’s real character limits are shown as you go: 220, 2,600, 2,000.
- Multiple options
- Achievement bullets
- Skills reordered
What it did with each term.
A table of every keyword, whether it was used, and why. A rewrite that quietly injects terms is how somebody gets caught out in an interview.
A free gap check first.
Already on your profile, can be backed but missing, nothing on record. It costs no allowance and uses no AI.
SAID PLAINLYThere is no LinkedIn integration of any kind. Nothing is connected, read, synced, posted or updated — LinkedIn gives outside products no access to a member’s profile, so you paste each field back in yourself, which is why there is a copy button per field. A keyword you cannot back is left out. This is Job Seeker Pro only, ten runs a month.
↑ back to the menuSee what your profile is missing before you rewrite it. The gap check costs nothing at all.
Start free — 14 days →SKILL GAPS
The same skill, missing from the fourth advert in a row.
Every gap a scoring run finds is kept and counted across jobs, so what you see is not one advert’s opinion but a pattern: seen in six matches. Beside it, where you are losing points by criterion, out of the real breakdown rather than a guess.
SAID PLAINLYThe suggestions are search links on Coursera and LinkedIn Learning, not course recommendations — nothing here can verify that a particular course still exists or is any good, so it does not pretend to. There is no learning plan, no progress tracking and no certificate. Gaps appear only after scoring runs, and the named-skill list needs AI-enhanced matching switched on for your organisation; without it you get the criterion view.
↑ back to the menuFind the gap that keeps coming back. Fourteen days of scoring, free.
Start free — 14 days →CAREER RUBRICS
What good looks like for your job, not jobs in general.
A rubric is a scoring template for one career: named categories, each weighted, each with its own keywords marked essential or desirable. Where one exists for the career an advert belongs to, it replaces the general model — and the screen tells you which of the two produced your score.
Every claim tracked to your own words
Each statement in your tailored CV is checked back against the text of your own CVs and listed on screen in an evidence trail: the claim, whether it was grounded, and how confidently.
Anything ungrounded is flagged for you to read before you send it.
- Built-in evidence trail
- Check every claim
- Highlight what to fix
Every job keeps its section
Even a job irrelevant to this advert stays in, because a tailored CV missing a job is a tailored CV with an unexplained gap in its dates — one of the first things a screener rejects on.
- No unexplained gaps in dates
- Keep every job in your CV
- Stay ATS safe and professional
Nothing examined is not a pass
Where a document cannot be checked it is marked not assessed rather than passed. The status colour is a whitelist: green is a statement, so anything unrecognised reads as pending.
Several CVs, one history
The same job appearing in three CVs becomes one entry, not three. Two spells at the same employer stay separate only when both date ranges parse and clearly do not overlap; anything ambiguous is treated as one stint and merged.
Thin is allowed to be thin
It is told never to pad to reach a length. A sparse record produces a short document, and that is the correct outcome rather than a defect.
SAID PLAINLYOutput is .docx. There is no PDF export. The grounding check is text overlap, not comprehension, and it does not cover cover letters. It flags; it does not block — you are the one who reads the flag. Job Seeker includes five tailored documents a month and a CV plus its letter spends two of them; unlimited is Job Seeker Pro.
↑ back to the menuBuild one tailored CV and read its evidence trail. No card is asked for at any point.
Start free — 14 days →WHEN IT CAME OUT WEAKER
It tells you when the rewrite made something worse.
The tailored CV and your best existing CV are scored by the same engine, and the result is reported either way. “Four points on your best CV”, or “two points below your best CV” in red, with the line: two came out weaker than the original. Worth a read before you send it.
Named, not totalled
The report names the requirement that lost ground and says so directly: this is evidenced less well here than in your base CV, which means the tailoring dropped something rather than added to it.
And what would fix it
Per requirement, the band it reached and the move that lifts it — mentioned once with no outcome beside it, add a figure to that sentence and it moves two bands.
SAID PLAINLYShowing this costs us the nicer number, and that is the point: hiding it would make the score another figure nobody should trust. It is a comparison, not a gate — a weaker draft is still delivered, to you, labelled.
↑ back to the menuSee for yourself when a rewrite loses something. Fourteen days, nothing to cancel.
Start free — 14 days →COVER LETTERS
A letter that argues from the CV you just sent.
The letter is written from the tailored CV itself, so the two cannot contradict each other. It is told to argue only from what that CV contains, and a requirement with nothing real behind it is left out entirely rather than stretched to fit.
SAID PLAINLYCover letters are not put through the claim-by-claim grounding check that a CV is — that check has been wrong about letters every time it was tried, so letters are excluded rather than stamped with a pass they did not earn. Read the letter.
↑ back to the menuGet a letter that cannot contradict the CV. Included from the first day of the fortnight.
Start free — 14 days →TEMPLATES
Five designs, and five fonts that exist on every machine.
Executive, Technical, Agile Delivery, Developer and Government / Digital, each in one of five styles, with ten matching cover-letter designs that share the CV’s colours. Fonts are limited to Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Garamond and Verdana, so a document never depends on a typeface the machine opening it does not have.
See it before you choose it
Every template previews in full with sample content, and you can see which one the rules would pick for a given job before you set your own default.
The document records its version
Templates are versioned, and every generated document carries the version it was rendered from.
SAID PLAINLYYou choose and preview; you do not design. Creating or editing a template is a permission a job-seeker account does not have, and you cannot upload your own Word template. A cover-letter template sets the look only — the wording is always written fresh for the job.
↑ back to the menuTry all five designs on your own CV. Free for fourteen days, no card.

SAID PLAINLYA tailored CV and its cover letter spend two of the five.
