ImprovedCV

ImprovedCV is a web-based CV tool that helps job seekers rewrite their resume to better match a specific job posting. You upload or drop in your existing CV (PDF/DOCX) and paste the text of the role you want. ImprovedCV refines your summary, bullets, and skills to align with what the employer is looking for—reordering and rephrasing your existing experience rather than inventing new claims.

A core feature is the ATS match scoring workflow. ImprovedCV compares your resume against the job description like an applicant tracking system would, shows an “before” and “after” score, and highlights missing keywords. It also produces a clean, recruiter-ready single-column PDF that’s designed to be easier for software and human reviewers to read.

Beyond the CV rewrite, you can generate supporting application materials and prepare for interviews. ImprovedCV includes a cover letter generator, interview preparation, and a job application tracker to help you stay organized between applications.

You can also use tools like a free ATS resume checker for PDFs/Word files (no sign-up and no CV storage), plus LinkedIn profile optimization. ImprovedCV offers multiple language options, 44 CV templates (with an “ATS-friendly” focus among them), and editable output via its templates and Studio. Pricing starts with a free plan (3 CV tailorings, 3 cover letters, and 3 interview preps per week), and Pro is available with a 14-day free trial at €9.99/month (incl. VAT).

How does ImprovedCV tailor my CV to a job posting?

Upload your existing resume (PDF or DOCX) and paste the full job description. ImprovedCV rewrites and reorders your summary, bullets, and skills to match the role using your existing experience, without making up new jobs, skills, or numbers.

What does the ATS score show?

ImprovedCV provides an ATS-style match score based on how your resume compares to the job description. You get a score before and after, plus visibility into missing keywords and what you already cover.

Do I need to reformat my CV before uploading?

No. You can drop in your existing CV as a PDF or DOCX without reformatting first, and ImprovedCV generates a clean, single-column PDF for download.

Can I use the free ATS resume checker without signing up?

Yes. The free ATS resume checker does not require sign-up and does not save your CV, while analyzing how it’s likely to be read (e.g., structure, columns, tables, headers, and dates).

How many CV tailorings are included on the Free plan?

The Free plan includes 3 CV tailorings per week (plus 3 cover letters and 3 interview preps per week). The job tracker and templates are part of Pro.

What do I get with Pro, and do I need to commit right away?

Pro includes unlimited CV tailoring, cover letters, interview prep, and a job application tracker with reminders, along with access to all 44 templates. You start with a 14-day free trial; a card is required to begin, and you can cancel anytime before the trial ends to avoid charges.
