Your CV is probably being rejected before anyone reads it

75% of CVs are automatically filtered out by software before a recruiter ever sees them. CVCircuit builds your CV to pass those filters — and impress the human on the other side.

Build in under 2 minutes. Your foundation for every application.

The uncomfortable truth about your job search

75%

of CVs are rejected by ATS software before a human ever reads them

7s

is all a recruiter spends scanning your CV before deciding to read on or move on

280

applications compete for every role — most eliminated before a human touches them

If your CV was built in Word, Canva, or a template you downloaded five years ago — it is almost certainly failing these filters right now.

Why your current CV is working against you

The CV format most people use was designed for a world where a human opened every application. That world no longer exists.

Silent killer #1

Tables and columns

ATS systems can't parse two-column layouts or tables. Your information becomes scrambled or invisible. You get auto-rejected. You never find out why.

Silent killer #2

Wrong section names

If your "Work History" section is called something creative, the ATS may not recognise it as experience. Standard headings like "Work Experience" are non-negotiable.

Silent killer #3

Missing keywords

A generic CV doesn't use the exact language from the job description. The ATS scores it low. You're qualified — but you never reach the recruiter's inbox.

How CVCircuit builds your CV differently

CVCircuit isn't a template tool. It's purpose-built to get you past ATS systems and in front of real recruiters.

Step 1

Enter your experience once

Fill in your experience, education, and skills in a clean, guided form. CVCircuit stores it and uses it as your base for every application.

Step 2

We format it for ATS

CVCircuit outputs your CV in a clean single-column layout with standard section headings that every ATS system can read correctly, every time.

Step 3

Tailor it to each job

Once your base CV is built, tailor it to any job description in seconds — so every application is a targeted, keyword-matched version of your best self.

Common questions

How is CVCircuit different from Word or Canva templates?

Word and Canva templates are built for how a CV looks on screen. CVCircuit is built for how it performs in ATS software — clean parsing, correct section structure, keyword density. A beautiful Canva CV that fails ATS screening is invisible to recruiters.

Is my CV data private?

Yes. Your CV data is stored securely in your account and is never shared with employers or third parties without your consent.

Can I have multiple CVs?

Yes. Build a base CV and then tailor it to each role. Each version is saved separately in your account — so you can track exactly what you submitted for each application.

Does it work for UK and US job seekers?

Yes. CVCircuit is designed for both UK and US formats — whether you're writing a CV or a resume, the structure and templates are appropriate for your market.

Stop sending CVs that get filtered out

Every day you apply with a CV that fails ATS screening is a day your application ends up in a folder no recruiter ever opens. Fix it now — for free.
