Your CV Reviewed by AI That Thinks Like a Senior Recruiter
Brutally honest. Instantly actionable. Free to start.
Most resume feedback is polite and useless. FixerCV's AI reviews your CV the same way a senior recruiter with 15 years of hiring experience would — pointing out exactly why you're not getting callbacks and what to do about it.
What You Need to Know
Recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds scanning a CV before deciding to reject or continue.
The top reason CVs are rejected: lack of relevant keywords and vague, unquantified achievements.
A well-reviewed and optimized CV increases interview callback rates by up to 87%.
Most job seekers send the same generic CV to every job — and get the same result: silence.
Professional human CV reviews cost $150-$500. AI review gets you the same quality instantly.
93% of hiring managers say a tailored CV makes a candidate stand out significantly.
Most Common Mistakes
These are the reasons most CVs get rejected immediately.
Vague job responsibilities with no achievements
Listing 'responsible for sales' tells a recruiter nothing. They want to see 'Grew regional sales by 43% in 12 months, exceeding quota every quarter.' Numbers make you memorable.
Weak opening summary or no summary at all
The top third of your CV determines if a recruiter reads further. A weak or missing professional summary means you've lost them in the first 6 seconds.
One-size-fits-all CV
Sending the same CV to every job is the single biggest mistake. Recruiters can tell immediately. Tailoring your CV to each role is non-negotiable for competitive positions.
Outdated or irrelevant experience dominating the CV
A 2005 internship taking up half your CV signals a lack of recent relevant experience. Lead with what's most impressive and recent. Cut what doesn't serve your current target role.
Poor formatting and readability
Dense paragraphs, inconsistent fonts, and cluttered layouts make recruiters skip to the next candidate. Your CV must be scannable in 6 seconds with clear visual hierarchy.
Expert Tips
Lead with a powerful 3-line professional summary
Your summary should answer: Who are you? What's your biggest achievement? What are you looking for? Write it last, after you've completed the rest of the CV.
Use the CAR formula for every bullet point
Challenge → Action → Result. Every bullet should describe a situation, what you did, and the measurable outcome. This transforms weak duties into compelling achievements.
Tailor for each job — minimum 20 minutes
Read the job description. Identify the top 5 requirements. Make sure your CV explicitly addresses each one with specific evidence. Use their exact language.
Keep it to 1-2 pages maximum
Unless you're a senior executive with 15+ years, one page is ideal, two pages maximum. Every word must earn its place. Ruthlessly cut anything that doesn't support your target role.
Make contact information scannable
Name, email, phone, LinkedIn, location (city only). No photos, no date of birth, no marital status (in most markets). Put it at the very top, not in headers or footers.
Include a skills section with hard and soft skills
List both technical skills (software, languages, certifications) and key soft skills relevant to the role. This section is heavily weighted by both ATS and human reviewers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is AI resume review different from human review?
AI review is instant, consistent, and unbiased. It checks every element of your CV against ATS requirements and recruiter best practices simultaneously. Human reviewers are subjective and expensive ($150-500). FixerCV combines AI speed with recruiter-level intelligence.

Yes. FixerCV's AI is trained on hiring patterns across all major industries including tech, finance, healthcare, marketing, engineering, and more. It also adapts to the specific job description you provide.
How long does the AI review take?
Under 60 seconds for most CVs. The AI simultaneously checks ATS compatibility, keyword density, achievement strength, formatting, and industry fit — delivering a comprehensive review faster than any human could.
Can I use the feedback to improve my CV myself?
Absolutely. The free tier gives you your top 3 issues and missing keywords — enough to make meaningful improvements yourself. The premium report includes a fully rewritten CV so you can see exactly what the improved version looks like.
