A serious ATS test compares your CV with the ad you are answering, not with a generic list, and tells you which requirements and keywords are missing. Not every Google result for “test ats cv” in Italy is a tool: JobStep and Peopleize are services run by people, with a free automated test in front.
CV Boost, Enhancv, Modelli-di-curriculum and CreareCV actually measure the CV against the advertisement. Kickresume measures it against CVs inside its own database, instead of against the advertisement. CreareCV then also fixes the CV for that ad.

CreareCV’s check reads your CV and the ad, gives a score and lists the requirements and keywords an ATS could look for and not find. Then, in the same editor, AI rewrites the CV for that ad in about a minute with the ad’s requirements and keywords, so the employer’s ATS finds them in it and can score it higher.
Price: No account: 1 CV, 3 AI requests and one PDF free. With a free account, 1 CV and 1 letter download a day, at most 5 per document in 30 days. No limit: a 7-day trial (card needed; it renews at €15 a month unless cancelled), or €95 a year.

It does not check the CV requirement by requirement against the ad, and provides no score.
It might make up skills, dates or figures you do not have, so every line needs checking.
Best for: People who write effective prompts and already have a template to paste into.

Is there a free ATS CV checker in Italy?
You can try JobStep’s test (a score from 0 to 100), CV Boost’s (a score out of 100) and the one on Modelli-di-curriculum.it, which compares the CV with a job ad, all without signing up. Enhancv runs a free check with 27 tests, in English only.
On CreareCV the first check against an ad is free without an account; a free account lets you run more.
Which ATS test compares my CV with the job ad?
CreareCV, CV Boost, Enhancv and Modelli-di-curriculum.it match the CV against the advertisement you paste. Kickresume checks it versus CVs in its own database; JobStep’s page outlines a review of structure, format, keywords and readability.
The ad is important because the employer’s ATS gets its requirements and keywords from there.
How do I prepare an English CV to apply abroad?
Should you prefer a person to handle the task, Peopleize rewrites the CV in Italian and English and sends it in 24 hours for €99, and JobStep rewrites CV and letter in English from €169. Enhancv checks the CV free with 27 tests, including against the ad, in an English-only interface.
On CreareCV you write the CV in English from the job ad and check it against the same ad; the first check is free without an account.
What should I do after an ATS test?
Fix the CV for that ad: add the requirements you really meet, use the ad’s own words and run the test again. On Modelli-di-curriculum.it you do this by hand in Word; Peopleize (€99) and JobStep (from €129 for CV and letter) have a person do it.
On CreareCV the AI rewrites the CV for the ad in the same editor, using only your own experience, and you run the check again to see the new score.

Can ChatGPT run an ATS check on my CV?
Should you ask, it will look over your CV against a job ad, but it fails to provide a steady score: the same question receives different replies, and it does not judge the criteria one by one.
CreareCV rates the CV on the identical ad each time, supplies a list of missing parts, and instantly fixes the CV. Once fixed, perform the test once more to view the updated score.
We searched Google Italy for the words people use (such as "creare curriculum online", "test ats cv", "lettera di presentazione ia", "siti per cercare lavoro") and took the sites near the top. On 3 November 2026 we read each one’s pricing page and terms on its official site and took a screenshot. We created no accounts and used no "best sites" articles as a source. CreareCV is our own product, which is why it carries the label.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS?
Many firms depend on this software to collect and arrange applications. It reads the CV and compares it with the job’s demands: a CV that uses the ad’s words and meets its requirements can rank higher on the list the recruiter sees.
Is there one ATS test that works for every employer?
No. Each business depends on its own system and rules, just as Peopleize says. The useful test is the one on the particular ad: requirements, keywords, experience asked for.
