Build a South Korea-Ready CV for Any Role

The invisible gate

Most large employers run your CV through ATS software before a human reads it — and a CV that parses cleanly is the difference between your content being seen and being skipped.

AlmiCV ends the guessing. Our resume checker reviews your document the way company software does, flagging problems instantly so you fix them live — before you hit apply.

Questions answered

What does a CV need to look like in South Korea?

Common in South Korea: standardized 이력서 with photo, 생년월일 and GPA on a 4.5 scale remains the private-sector norm, while NCS-based blind hiring (블라인드 채용, mandatory for public institutions since July 2017 and backed by Fair Hiring Procedure Act Art. 4-3) bans photos, height/weight, region of origin and family details from public-sector applications. AlmiCV applies these South Korea conventions for you and can translate into Korean.

What is the main work route for international applicants in South Korea?

Foreigners generally need a work visa (such as E-7) sponsored by the employer — check official Korean (Hi Korea) sources before relying on any route.

Will AlmiCV get my CV past company tracking software?

It scores your CV the way modern ATS software does and shows you exactly what to fix — starting with the biggest filter: matching your job title to the role.

Is there a free trial?

You get 7 days free with a card on file, then a flat $12/month — no hidden download walls, no weekly renewals. Cancel inside the trial and you pay nothing.

Will the AI make my CV sound robotic?

No. It sharpens your own sentences instead of replacing them with generic blocks. You keep full control of your own voice.
