The checks behind your score, including Irish conventions
Fix: Irish ATS systems look for "Leaving Certificate" or "Leaving Cert". Using "High School" flags your CV as non-Irish and may misparse your education section.
Fix: Most ATS software reads CVs left-to-right, top-to-bottom. A two-column layout causes content to merge incorrectly. Use single-column structure throughout.
Fix: "Improved sales" means nothing to ATS keyword matching or recruiters. "Increased sales by 34% in Q3 2025" is keyword-rich and compelling to humans too.
Fix: Irish recruiters notice when applicants use UK (+44) or no country code. Use +353 XX XXX XXXX format — it also ensures your number works in ATS call-back features.
Fix: Scanned CVs, image-based PDFs, or password-protected files score 0 in ATS because text can't be extracted. Use a Word or text-layer PDF export.
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by most Irish employers to filter CVs automatically before a recruiter reads them. CVs with confusing layouts, missing dates or none of the words from the job ad can be ranked lower or parsed badly at this stage.
Key steps: use standard section headings (Work Experience, Education), avoid tables and graphics, include Irish-specific formatting (Leaving Cert instead of High School, +353 phone numbers), use relevant keywords from the job description, and quantify achievements with numbers.
