Scoring methodology

Scores should explain your application, not pretend to predict the whole hiring process.

Hervat scores one CV against one target role. The goal is to show what is already proven, what is transferable, and what still needs clearer evidence before you apply.

Job match

Measures evidence fit for one specific role. It looks at required skills, responsibilities, seniority, keywords, and whether the CV proves those points.

CV score

Measures the strength of the CV itself: clarity, structure, proof, measurable outcomes, missing basics, and recruiter readability.

Overall readiness

Combines role fit and CV quality into a practical signal for whether the application is ready, needs edits, or needs stronger evidence.

What the analysis looks for

Target job title and role keywords
Responsibilities and required skills from the job description
Evidence from the CV, including outcomes and scope
Transferable experience that can be explained honestly
Missing or weak proof that should not be inflated
Clean ATS-safe structure and standard section headings

Important caveats

  • - Scores are guidance, not a hiring guarantee.
  • - Hervat is not a full replacement for every employer ATS parser.
  • - A high score still needs truthful evidence and recruiter-readable proof.
  • - A lower score can still be useful when transferable experience is explained honestly.
