- How to match your CV to live UK jobs
What matching a CV to a job means, how Fitread scores it from live UK adverts (70 skills, 15 title, 15 sector), how to read the score and raise it.
- AI job matching in the UK: what it does and does not do
How AI job matchers rank you, what a fit score means, and where Fitread draws the line: the score is code you can check, and AI only explains it.
- An ATS-friendly CV for UK agency software
How UK agency systems parse a CV, the skill-term variants Fitread checks (K8s and Kubernetes, CSCS and its long form) and the layout rules that matter.
- Should you tailor your CV to every job? The numbers
How many skills UK adverts ask for, by role, and what actually moves a match score, so you tailor the parts that count and leave the rest alone.
- The skills UK adverts ask for, by role
The skills named most in live UK adverts for the biggest roles, with the share of adverts naming each, counted from Fitread's job data and dated.
- How agency software reads your CV
Parsing, keyword matching and the fixes that matter: what UK agency software does with your CV before a recruiter sees it, and how Fitread checks it.
