Built for South African job seekers
An ATS friendly CV, matched to the job you are actually applying for
Most South African applications pass through applicant tracking software before a person sees them. CVamp rewrites the experience already in your CV to match the posting's language, then exports a clean, single-column PDF that screening systems can read from top to bottom.
Free tailored CV and PDF download — no card required.
How CVamp makes your CV ATS friendly
Two things decide whether screening software passes you on: whether it can read your file, and whether your wording lines up with the posting. CVamp handles both.
Clean, parsable PDF exports
The exported PDF uses a single column, standard section headings and plain text — no tables, text boxes, columns, images, icons or decorative characters that make parsers drop whole sections of your history.
Keyword matching against the actual posting
Paste the job description and CVamp identifies the exact terms, skills and phrases the employer used, then reflects that wording wherever your real experience genuinely supports it.
A Skills Match Score before you apply
See which keywords from the posting your CV already covers and which are still missing, so you know how you will read to the screening software. Included on any paid plan.
Structure you already recognise
Your original section order and headings stay exactly as they were. Nothing is reorganised into an unfamiliar template that a screening system — or a hiring manager — has to decipher.
Nothing is fabricated
Keyword matching only helps if the claim behind it is true. CVamp never invents employers, job titles, dates, qualifications, certifications or metrics. Where the posting asks for something your CV does not support, it simply does not emphasise that point — it never manufactures evidence for it.
You always see your original CV next to the tailored version, side by side, and you can edit every word before you export the PDF.

Common questions
What is an ATS friendly CV?
One that applicant tracking software can read reliably: plain text, standard headings, a single column, no images or icons, and wording that matches the terms used in the posting.
Do South African employers use these systems?
Larger employers and recruitment agencies commonly do, and most local job boards parse your CV automatically before anyone reads it. A clean, keyword-matched CV is what gets you to the human stage.
Is it free?
Tailoring your CV and downloading the PDF is free, no card required. The matching cover letter and the Skills Match Score come with any paid plan.
