Check your CV’s match and ATS coverage for a specific Australian role

Built for senior Australian professionals.

You have probably read that an ATS robot bins most CVs before a human sees them. For senior roles that is mostly a myth, which makes it harder to know what is actually going wrong. ApexHunt gives you a straight answer for the role in front of you. It scores your CV against that specific job, shows how much of what the role asks for you actually cover, and flags the requirements you are missing. An honest estimate against the real job description, not a pretend universal score.

The ATS myth, and what actually happens

The widely repeated claim that most CVs are auto-rejected by software traces back to a single discredited source. In reality, most senior applications are read by a person, and there is no universal ATS score you pass or fail. What does filter you out are the concrete gates: eligibility and knockout questions like work rights, location and required certifications, and a human skim that decides in seconds whether you fit. So the useful question is not whether a robot will reject you. It is whether your CV clearly answers what this specific role is asking for.

What ApexHunt actually checks

Paste the role you are targeting and ApexHunt scores your CV against that job description. You see a match score for how well your experience lines up, the coverage of the role’s stated requirements, and the specific things the role asks for that your CV does not yet show, which is what we mean by a gap: the experience or skills the role asks for that your CV is not yet evidencing. It then draws on your own career history to close those gaps rather than telling you to stuff in keywords. The score exists to help you prioritise which roles are worth your effort and what to sharpen before you apply.

How to read your score

A high score means your CV already covers most of what the role asks for. A low score is not a verdict on you. It usually means the role wants specific things your CV is not surfacing, or that the role is a genuine stretch. Either way you learn something useful before you spend time applying. Keyword stuffing does not help, because a human reader and any parsing tool both reward clear evidence of real impact, not repetition.

Who it is for

Senior Australian professionals in retail, FMCG, ecommerce, operations and supply chain, applying at Head of, Director, GM, VP or CXO level. Use it as an ATS resume checker and match score for Australian roles when you want to know, honestly, whether a specific job is worth your time and how to position for it, whether you are in Melbourne, Sydney or anywhere in Australia.

Common questions

Do ATS really auto-reject my CV?

For most senior roles, no. The widely repeated claim that software bins most CVs traces to a single discredited source. Most applications are read by a person, and the real filters are eligibility and knockout questions, not a secret content score.

Is this a live scan of the employer’s ATS?

No. ApexHunt estimates how well your CV covers the specific job description you give it. It does not, and cannot, read an employer’s actual ATS or its settings.

What is a good match score?

A higher score means your CV already covers most of what the role asks for. A lower score points to real gaps or a stretch role. Use it to prioritise which roles are worth your time and what to sharpen before you apply.

What do I need to get started?
