How it works

Five steps, and the last one is yours.

  1. Step 1

    Upload your CV

    PDF, DOCX or TXT. No account needed to see your score.

  2. Step 2

    Get the honest score

    A banded score with the reason behind every number.

  3. Step 3

    Fix it with your facts

    We ask for the missing detail instead of inventing it.

  4. Step 4

    Tailor per role

    Your evidence, re-emphasised for each advert you chase.

  5. Step 5

    Apply and practise

    Apply opens the advert. You send the CV you reviewed, and make the final click.

Strong, and provably yours.

Plenty of tools will polish a CV until it gleams — with keywords you can't back up and a score nobody can explain. Ours has to survive the follow-up question, so everything on the page is something you can defend.

Your facts, made stronger

Every AI suggestion is built from what's already on your CV. When something is missing we ask you for it rather than filling the gap ourselves — no invented numbers, no skills you never listed, no titles you never held.

A score you can trust completely

Your score lists exactly which dimensions it could assess and which it couldn't. No hidden weighting, and no fake probability of getting an interview — that number would be made up, so we don't show one.

Strong means proven

Tidy formatting gets you to Good. Strong needs evidence — outcomes, scope, numbers you can defend out loud. The score tells you which of those is missing rather than rewarding a clean layout.

Inside the dashboard

Six more things you'll actually use.

Every board, no duplicates

The same role listed on three boards shows up as one card, tagged with where each copy came from.

A roadmap to your target role

What you already have going for you, the gaps worth closing (ranked by what the live market is actually asking for), and the jump to the next level up.

Over 20 CV templates

Classic, Timeline, Infographic, photo layouts and more. Swap between them with a live preview, all A4 print-ready.

Edit right on the page

Click any line to change it on the CV itself, with an AI rewrite when you want one. Add sections like Awards or Volunteering from a gallery.

The full job description

Most feeds only give you a preview. Open a role and we go fetch the full advert from the source, when you ask for it.

Mute the notes you disagree with

Tell the scorer a line is fine as it is and it stays quiet about it, even after a re-score. Bring it back any time.

Our promises

Confidence needs a floor under it.

Here's ours: the things JobFocus will not do to your CV, however much easier they would make the numbers look.

  • Never invent achievements, numbers, or skills.

    We ask you for the number instead.

  • Never add keywords you can't support.

    Every claim has to connect to your experience.

  • Never show a made-up interview probability.

    We explain the score; we don't invent odds.

  • Never grade your face or confidence.

    We measure delivery, not identity.

  • Never submit an application for you.

    You always make the final click. LinkedIn and Indeed both ban automated access — this is a rule, not a preference.

Your job search stays yours. JobFocus prepares the role, the CV, and the evidence — you decide when to apply.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Not covered here?

A real person reads every message and writes back, usually within two working days.

hello@jobfocus.co.uk
Do ATS bots reject CVs?

Mostly no — automatic rejection is a myth sold to scare you. What's true: badly-formatted files get misread. We fix the real problem and skip the horror stories.

Will you write my CV?

No. We structure, tighten and repair what you give us, and ask you for what's missing. We won't fabricate experience.

What is my score?

It's banded — Excellent, Strong, Good, Fair, Needs work — from the dimensions we could assess, which are always listed. Nothing is hidden behind a single number.

Does it work outside tech?

Yes — nurses, engineers, retail managers, marketers, accountants. The scoring reads evidence and scope, not just tech keywords.

Which job boards?

Adzuna, Reed and NHS Jobs, refreshed hourly. The same role posted twice is merged into one card tagged with every board it came from.

Where is my data stored?

Per-user isolated storage, in the UK. Export or delete it whenever you like.

See how strong your CV really is.

You'll get a banded score, the exact reasons behind it, and the clearest path from Good to Strong.
