Question 1

What CV format do you use — will it pass ATS screening?

Accepted Answer

ATS-Optimized CVs

Yes! ATS optimization is central to our process.

What is ATS?

Applicant Tracking Systems — used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies and 75%+ of medium-to-large employers to screen CVs before humans see them.

Our Approach
First: Pass ATS screening
Then: Impress the human reader

What You Receive
DOCX file (ATS-safe format)
PDF file (for human review)

We NEVER Use

Tables (breaks ATS parsing)
Graphics/icons
Multi-column layouts
Text boxes
Headers/footers for critical info

What We DO Use

Clean, simple formatting
Standard section headings
Keyword optimization
Achievement-focused content
Proper hierarchy

> Your CV must pass the machine before it reaches human eyes. We optimize for both.

Question 3

What is LinkedIn All-Star status and does it actually help?

LinkedIn All-Star Status

LinkedIn All-Star = Highest profile completeness rating

Industry & Location (required for All-Star — often missed)
Headline with target keywords
About section (your value proposition)
Complete experience history
Education details
5+ endorsed skills
50+ connections strategy

Bonus: 90-Day Content Strategy

LinkedIn rewards consistent engagement:
Comments on industry posts
