CV T.A.G analyses your CV against a job description and shows you the exact keywords and skills the role requires that aren't in your CV. You can use the free score to see gaps, and upgrade to Premium for smart rewrite suggestions.

The most common reasons are keyword mismatches with the job description, experience that isn't framed in the right language for the role, or a seniority mismatch. CV T.A.G scores your CV against the specific job you're applying for and tells you exactly where the gaps are.

Paste the job description into CV T.A.G alongside your CV. The tool shows you which required keywords and skills are missing, how well your experience section aligns with the role, and what to prioritise fixing. Premium users get smart rewrite suggestions for each gap.
