Most CVs are rejected before a human sees them
Most big companies use software (an ATS) to filter CVs before a human ever sees them. If your CV isn't ATS-friendly, it gets rejected automatically — no matter how good you are.
Every CV Creator CV can be built ATS-friendly with one tap. We handle the formatting rules so your CV actually reaches a human.
Without ATS optimisation: rejected by software
With CV Creator: seen by a recruiter

Frequently asked questions
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software that big companies use to scan and filter CVs before a human sees them. If your CV's formatting confuses the software, it gets rejected automatically. CV Creator can build your CV ATS-friendly with one tap, so it actually reaches a recruiter.
R49 once-off for a professional CV plus a matching cover letter. No subscription, no hidden costs, no monthly billing — you pay once and download your documents.

Yes. CV Creator users apply for cruise ship and hospitality work abroad, EU jobs (Europass-style CVs), US-facing remote roles and more. Pick the format that matches where you're applying.
Yes. Choose the Cruise ship format and you'll get the layout cruise lines and agencies expect: your photo at the top, the position you're applying for, your personal details, and a section for seafarer documents like STCW and your ENG1 medical. You don't need those documents to build the CV — leave them blank and nothing is filled in for you. It costs the same R49 as every other format.
