01The problemBefore a human reads a word

Rejected before a human even sees your CV.

Recruitment is filtered by software before it is judged by people. Applicant tracking systems parse your CV first, recruiters give what survives a few seconds, and a generic application reads exactly like the two hundred sent before it.

In play Through Filtered out

Illustrative — the shape of a hiring funnel, not measured data.

  1. 01

    Applications sent

    You apply. So does everyone else. Volume is the entire problem — and it is not solved by applying harder.

  2. 02

    ATS filtering

    Software parses your file before a person does. Columns it can't read, headings it doesn't recognise, terminology that doesn't match the advert — the application ends here, silently.

  3. 03

    Recruiter screening

    What survives gets seconds of human attention. Responsibilities without outcomes, and outcomes without numbers, get skimmed straight past.

  4. 04

    Interview

    The few that read as an obvious match for this role — not any role — make it into the room.

The filter isn’t judging you. It’s judging your file.

02AI analysisRead it the way a machine does

Your CV, analysed by AI.

CV Central reads your CV the way an applicant tracking system does, then the way a recruiter does. You get a score, the reason behind it, and the specific edit that moves it.

Don’t let an algorithm decide your future.

You can’t opt out of the parser. You can make sure it reads you correctly. CV Central runs your CV against the job you actually want and tells you what the machine is missing.

One CV isn’t enough.

Paste the advert. CV Central compares it against your CV line by line, finds what that specific employer is actually asking for, and tailors your application to it — without inventing anything you didn’t do.

Job description

We’re looking for a marketing manager to own campaign strategy across four European markets. You’ll take full budget ownership of a seven-figure spend, work closely with sales on pipeline growth, and take on team leadership for a group of five.

Cover letter — Marketing Manager

Dear Hiring Team, I’m writing about the Marketing Manager role at Northgate Retail. Your advert asks for someone who can own campaign strategy across four European markets — that is the job I have been doing for the last two years. I lead a five-person team with full ownership of a £1.2m annual budget. In the last nine months we grew organic pipeline by 42% and cut cost per acquisition by a third by reallocating spend across channels. I’d welcome the chance to talk about what the first ninety days could look like.

06Interview preparationRehearse before it counts

The application doesn’t end with the invitation.

Getting the interview is the halfway point. CV Central generates the questions this role is likely to ask, helps you structure real answers from your own experience, and tells you where they’re thin.

Interviewer

“Tell me about a time you demonstrated leadership.”

Your answer

“When our channel budget was cut mid-year, I took the team through a reallocation plan — reprioritised four markets, moved spend into organic, and kept everyone briefed weekly. We came in under budget and pipeline still grew.”
