What is ATS and why does it matter for my resume?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by many companies in India to scan and filter resumes before a recruiter sees them. If your resume has tables, graphics, unusual fonts, or missing job-specific keywords, the ATS can struggle to read it. CVScan checks your resume against those rules and tells you what to fix.

Is CVScan really free to use?

Yes. The ATS audit is free. You get your ATS score, missing keywords, formatting risk, and improvement tips with no sign-up required. You only pay if you decide to unlock the optimized files from the audit screen.

What do I receive after payment?

You get an ATS-optimized PDF, an editable Word document, a live portfolio link, and the related delivery emails after payment is confirmed.

Is my resume data safe?

Yes. Your resume text is processed through our AI backend for the audit only. We do not sell your data and do not keep the raw file longer than needed for the workflow.

Do I need an account or subscription?

No. There is no account, no sign-up, and no subscription. You run the free audit, see your score and gaps, then choose from the audit screen whether you want the fixed files.

Does CVScan work for Naukri and LinkedIn in India?

Yes. CVScan is optimized for Indian job portals including Naukri, LinkedIn, and Internshala, as well as common enterprise hiring stacks used across India.

I paid but did not receive my files. What should I do?

Check your inbox and spam folder first. If you still cannot find the email, visit cvscan.in/recover, enter your payment email, and request the delivery links again. You can also contact WhatsApp support.

When a portfolio link helps

Mobile first

Learn when a portfolio link helps recruiters, what to include, and how to make it useful on mobile.

Quick answer

When a portfolio link helps

A portfolio link helps when it gives recruiters a clean mobile view of your profile, projects, proof, links, and contact details.

Mobile first

Recruiters often open links from phone messages and LinkedIn.

Proof blocks

Summary, experience, projects, and contact links.

Share paths

LinkedIn posts and WhatsApp recruiter chats.

A portfolio is not only for designers

Developers, analysts, sales professionals, HR candidates, freshers, and managers can all benefit from a clean profile link when it summarizes proof clearly.

The link should not replace your resume. It should make your resume easier to share and review.

Make the link useful in the first screen

A recruiter opening your link should quickly see your name, target role, top skills, location or availability cues, and the strongest proof of fit.

Avoid making the portfolio a long biography. Think of it as a recruiter-friendly landing page.
