What UK ATS Systems Check For

Over 70% of UK employers use some form of ATS. Here's what they're scanning for.

Keyword Match Rate

Your CV vs the job description — we calculate a keyword density score and highlight missing terms. Most ATS rejects happen because of <50% keyword match.

Format Compatibility

ATS systems struggle with columns, images, tables, headers/footers, and non-standard section names. We flag every format issue in your CV.

Section Completeness

UK ATS systems expect specific sections: Personal Summary, Work History, Education, Skills, Certifications. Missing sections = auto-reject for most large employers.

UK-Specific ATS Knowledge

We've researched every major UK ATS system so you don't have to.

NHS Jobs Portal

Trac.jobs / NHS ATS

Uses person spec keyword matching. Your CV must explicitly address every essential and desirable criterion. 'Tick-box' sift — no exceptions.

Civil Service Jobs

Success Profiles ATS

STAR-format behaviours are parsed and scored. Non-STAR format gets zero score at sift. Strengths section is assessed separately.

Reed & Totaljobs

CIS / Broadbean ATS

Keyword matching plus reverse-chronological format requirement. Tables and columns often fail to parse correctly.

Hays & Agency ATS

Bullhorn / Vincere

ATS-first parsing. PDF to text extraction can mangle formatting. Non-standard fonts or layouts can lose data.
