How Robo works

It reads the text of your CV and checks five areas: impact (how many experience lines show a result and open with an action verb), structure (experience, education, skills and profile headings), language (passive phrasing, clichés, first-person lines), ATS readability (columns or tables, dates, length) and contact details and Irish conventions (email, phone, LinkedIn, spelling, Leaving Certificate, personal details).

Each area is scored 0–100 from what the scan finds, and the overall score is a weighted average: impact 25%, structure 20%, language 20%, ATS readability 20%, contact and conventions 15%. The result shows the reason for each area's score. It measures how clearly your CV presents you — not whether you will get a particular job.

No. It is a set of rules, so the same CV always gets the same score. AI is used only in the paid products, to write rewrites, letters and feedback.

It looks for a heading line — "Work Experience", "Education", "Skills", "Profile". If your heading is unusual, inside an image or a text box, the scan (and many tracking systems) may not recognise it. Use a plain text heading.

Your 3–5 weakest lines rewritten, keeping your facts; The one thing holding your CV back, in a sentence; How it will read in applicant tracking systems; Skills and terms your target roles expect that your CV does not show; A cover letter opening built from your experience; A four-step action plan, most valuable first; Everything downloadable as an editable Word document. It appears on screen as soon as payment confirms, usually within a minute.

No. Robo is instructed to keep every fact from your CV. Where a figure would strengthen a line and your CV does not contain one, it leaves a placeholder such as [add figure] for you to fill in or delete. Always read what it writes before you send it.

Job Hunter and Career Boost buyers enter their role, current offer, target and employer type and get a ready-to-send email and phone talking points built from those numbers.

No. Every product is a single payment through Stripe. Nothing renews and Robo never stores card details.

Robo extracts the text and discards the file. The text (up to about 8,000 characters) and your results are stored for up to 30 days — so you can email yourself the report or buy the review — then deleted automatically by a daily clean-up.

Nobody outside Robo's operator, Conjora Limited, except the processors needed to deliver what you ask for: our hosting and database providers and, only for paid products, an AI model provider that processes the text to write your results. We never sell or share your data for marketing.

Not for the scan or the review. Packages use your email with a one-time sign-in code — no password is stored.

Use the delete-my-data page or email hello@robo.ie and we will remove it.
