COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know before you begin
What happens to my resume?
The embedded checker processes resumes through CareerPilot. MontrealListing does not save your resume in its database. Review CareerPilot's privacy policy for its processing details.
Does the result represent an ATS score?
No. It identifies alignment with selected keywords and suggests items to review. Different employers use different screening systems and criteria.
How is this different from the AI assistant?
The free checker compares text. A CareerPilot account includes AI actions for resume tailoring, cover letters and interview preparation.
