What you get
- A score out of 100 for the CV as a whole.
- An ATS score: an estimate of how well its structure and wording would be read by automated screening.
- An industry-fit score.
- Your strengths, and the gaps worth working on next.
- Suggested edits for your summary and bullets. You choose which to apply.
What the ATS score means
The ATS score is the model's estimate of how well the CV's structure and wording would be read by automated screening. It is not the output of a real applicant tracking system, and those systems differ.
The scores are written by the AI model, not calculated by a formula in Yago's code. The method is published, with the weights the model is told to use: how the scores are produced.
The model is told to judge against a demanding standard: hiring for top technology and large companies. A score reflects that standard, not the requirements of every employer or field.
Our advice: use the ATS score to find reading problems in the file, such as long paragraphs where bullets would do, and not as a pass mark. A tool that scores a CV cannot tell you what a particular employer's software will do with it.
What it does not do
- It does not compare your CV with a specific job description. The only input besides the CV is an optional target role.
- It does not run an employer's applicant tracking system.
- It does not check that what you wrote is true.
- It does not tell you whether you will be invited to interview.
- The model never sees the file itself, so it does not see fonts, colours, images or spacing.
Before you upload
- PDF files only. The scan does not accept Word files.
- A PDF with text you can select. A scanned or image-only PDF has no text to read, so Yago says it could not read the file and asks for a searchable PDF. It does not read text out of images.
- Up to four pages and about 2,800 words. A longer CV is refused, and Yago recommends two pages.
- The file can be up to 10 MB.
- English or Romanian. These are the languages Yago supports.
To see how real applicant tracking systems read a file, from their vendors' own documentation, read the ATS guide.

Why did the same CV get a different score?
