In today’s digital job market, landing a position in the tech sector goes far beyond your skills, education or experience. The first major hurdle? Getting past the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) — automated filters that often decide your future before a human ever reads your CV.
Did you know that most CVs are rejected automatically before being seen by a recruiter?
These systems scan and sort thousands of CVs based on keywords, formatting, and structure. If your CV doesn’t meet the algorithm’s criteria, it’s likely discarded — no matter how qualified you are.
We optimise your CV for ATS — without losing your voice
At BBLTranslation, we’ve spent years working at the intersection of language and technology. As a leading translation agency and AI data curation partner, we understand how to write for both machines and people.
Our new service is designed to help your CV pass ATS filters while maintaining your personal tone and style.
What is an ATS and why is it important?
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are used by companies to manage high volumes of job applications. These tools automatically scan CVs for:
- Relevant qualifications
- Experience and skills
- Industry-specific keywords
If your CV has formatting issues, the wrong structure, or lacks targeted keywords, it can be rejected automatically — with no human review.
Even worse, many of these mistakes are invisible to the average candidate. That’s where our expertise comes in.
AI + human expertise = CVs that stand out
At BBLTranslation, we combine linguistic precision with AI-powered tools to help you craft a CV that not only passes the filters but captures attention.
Our CV optimisation service includes:
- Professional restructuring to ensure a clear hierarchy and visual appeal
- Keyword optimisation based on real job descriptions in your field
- Format correction, removing ATS-blocking elements like tables or unrecognised synonyms
- Tailored adaptation depending on the platform (LinkedIn, job boards, direct applications) and industry
What AI can’t do (yet)
AI can generate CVs quickly and in many languages — but not always accurately. It often:
- Makes contextual errors
- Introduces biases
- Invents false information (also known as “hallucinations”)
That’s why human oversight is essential. At BBLTranslation, we help train AI models, which gives us a deep understanding of data accuracy, bias detection, and content validation — all of which we apply to your CV.
Why choose BBLTranslation?
- We teach you how ATS works so you can adapt your CV to future roles on your own
- We work in multiple languages and cultures, ideal for international job seekers
- We combine cutting-edge AI with professional human judgment, ensuring the best of both worlds
Quick CV tips to improve your chances
While you consider working with us (we’d love to help!), here are some actionable tips:
- Use clear, standard section titles: e.g. Professional Experience, Education, Technical Skills
- Avoid tables, images or graphics: they can confuse ATS systems
- Incorporate job-specific keywords: e.g. Python, Scrum, React, UX Research
- Customise your CV for each application — one size doesn’t fit all
- Avoid vague phrases like “hard worker” — use measurable, concrete terms
Ready to stand out?
