Checker · Free diagnostic
Could your CV survive the startup hiring funnel?
Most applications die before a human reads them. Checker walks your CV through the same sequence a startup runs and tells you which stage you fall out at — then points you at the free session that fixes exactly that.
Free. No pass required. Your PDF is read once to produce the result and is not kept.
What you get back
- The stage where your CV most likely stops
- What the machine at that stage could not read
- The free recording that addresses it
Advanced diagnostics — repeat runs, comparison against a target role and reviewer notes — are part of Programme Pass participation.
The core of it
Check whether you could get an offer at a startup
A startup with eleven people does not have a recruitment department. It has a pipeline of tools and about forty seconds of human attention. Knowing where you lose that pipeline is worth more than rewriting your CV again by feel.
Checker is not a score. It is a read of your CV against each stage of the funnel below, and a statement of the earliest point where something breaks — an unreadable layout, a missing evidence of delivery, a title that no ranking model can map onto the role you want.
Evidence
This is how the funnel actually runs
Seven stages, and the first three have no human in them at all.
- CV submitted
- Parsing
- AI matching / ranking
- Recruiter
- Hiring manager
- Interview / assessment
- Final decision
- CV submitted Format, structure and keywords decide whether anything downstream ever sees you.
- Parsing Machine reading. Layout-heavy PDFs lose data here.
- AI matching / ranking Your CV is scored against the role, not read.
- Recruiter Seconds per CV. Evidence beats adjectives.
- Hiring manager Looks for proof you have done the work before.
- Interview / assessment Practical work under time pressure.
- Final decision Comparison against everyone else who got this far.
Why is the PDF read on your server and not in my browser?
Because this site ships no client-side JavaScript at all — that is a hard rule here, and browser-side PDF parsing would break it. Your file is posted over HTTPS, read once to build your result page, and discarded. What we keep is the outcome you asked us to email you, nothing more.
Do you store my CV?
No. The file is not written to storage. If you tick the consent box we store your email address and the result summary so we can send it to you and follow up about the programme. The privacy notice sets out exactly what is kept and for how long.
Is this a guarantee I will get interviews?
No. It is a diagnostic. It tells you where a machine or a reader is likely to stop, so you can fix that. RDAI does not place candidates and promises no outcome from any employer.
PDF only? My CV is a Word file.
PDF only, because that is what almost every startup pipeline receives and parses. Export to PDF and check that one — the export itself sometimes creates the problem we are looking for.
Next step
Find out where you drop out — right now
Upload the PDF you actually send to companies. Not a polished version, the real one. The result page appears immediately, and we email you a copy with the matching free session.
- PDF up to 4 MB, read once, not stored
- Result on screen straight away
- Confirmation email before we send anything else
Checker is free and does not require a Programme Pass. It exists because a person who cannot pay still deserves to know why their applications disappear.
