Why your CV gets rejected before a human reads it
At firms like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and McKinsey, a single graduate role receives 3,000-10,000 applications. Recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds on each CV that makes it past the initial screen. But most CVs never reach a human — they are filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that scan for specific keywords, formatting conventions, and section structures.
The most common reasons graduate CVs fail ATS screening are invisible to the applicant: tables that break text extraction, headers placed in text boxes that get ignored, non-standard section labels, and missing industry-specific keywords. A CV that reads well visually can score zero in an ATS because the system cannot parse its structure.
Beyond ATS, the CVs that do reach human reviewers are judged against a specific set of criteria: quantified achievements (numbers, percentages, deal values), action verbs that demonstrate ownership ("led" not "helped"), relevant technical keywords for the target sector, and a clean single-page format that follows investment banking and consulting conventions.
Intervyo's CV analysis scores your CV against these exact criteria — the same ones used by recruiters at Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and Clifford Chance. Five categories, each with a score and specific reasoning, plus an ATS compliance check, missing keywords, and phrasing improvements that show you exactly what to change.
5 categories scored
What gets scored — and why it matters
Each category maps to what recruiters at top firms actually evaluate when screening graduate CVs.
Layout & Structure
Section ordering, whitespace, readability, and adherence to conventions expected by top-tier employers. Single page, reverse chronological, consistent formatting.
Quantified Impact
"Increased revenue by 23%" beats "Helped with revenue growth." Numbers, percentages, deal values, and team sizes demonstrate real contribution rather than vague involvement.
Industry Relevance
Does your CV use the right keywords for your target sector? ATS systems and human reviewers scan for specific technical terms, tools, and domain knowledge.
Academic Depth
How well you present your education — grades, relevant modules, dissertation topics, academic awards. For graduate applications, this section is scrutinised heavily.
Role Alignment
How well your experience, skills, and framing match the specific role and firm. A CV tailored for Goldman reads differently from one targeting Clifford Chance.
ATS Compliance
Formatting issues that cause automated rejection — invisible tables, headers in text boxes, missing standard sections, non-standard fonts, and multi-column layouts that break text extraction.
Sector-specific
Common CV mistakes by sector
Every sector has specific expectations. What works for consulting does not work for law.
No quantified deal experience or transaction values
Missing financial modelling or valuation keywords
Using passive language ("assisted with" instead of "built" or "led")
Education section buried below irrelevant work experience
No mention of relevant software (Bloomberg, Capital IQ, FactSet)
