Before a recruiter ever sees your CV, an Applicant Tracking System decides whether you're worth reading. Three out of four applications are filtered out at this stage — not because candidates are unqualified, but because their CV is unreadable to a machine. Cited shows you exactly where yours stands.
Applicant Tracking Systems are the quiet gatekeepers of modern hiring. Every major South African employer uses one. They parse your CV into a structured database, score it against keywords from the job ad, and rank you against every other applicant before a human ever looks. Miss the format, miss the keywords, and you miss the shortlist — regardless of experience.
PDF or Word. Paste the job description you're applying for — we'll score against it specifically.
Your CV is parsed through the same logic used by Workday, Greenhouse, and Oracle Taleo — the systems most SA employers use.
An honest number out of 100, a list of structural errors, and the top keywords you're missing. Free.
Some problems you can fix yourself in an hour. Others need a rewrite. We'll show you which is which.
Upload a PDF or Word version of your CV. If you have a specific job ad you're applying for, paste it in — we'll score against those keywords specifically. Results in about a minute, no signup wall, no spam.
Your CV is processed once and stored encrypted for 30 days so you can retrieve or upgrade your report. After 30 days it's permanently deleted.
Start with the free scan. If you want more detail, upgrade to the full diagnostic report. If you want us to do the work, the rewrite service is waiting.
