Beyond the Match Score: Using Flashy's Actionable Feedback to Land More Interviews
Getting a high relevancy score on your CV is a fantastic achievement. It means you've successfully optimized your application for the ATS and have a strong on-paper match for the role. But the score itself isn't the end goal; it's a means to an end. The real goal is to land more interviews.
This is where the true power of Flashy lies. Beyond the percentage, Flashy provides actionable feedback that can help you transform your CV from a document that passes a scan to one that impresses a recruiter.
The Score is Just the Starting Point
Think of your relevancy score as your ticket to the game. It gets you in the door, but you still have to play to win. A high score will get your CV in front of a human, but that human will be looking for more than just keywords. They'll be looking for a compelling narrative, clear accomplishments, and a professional presentation.
Our guide on what recruiters really want provides more insight into the human side of the hiring equation.
Leveraging Flashy's Deeper Feedback
Here's how to use Flashy's feedback to go beyond the score and create a CV that wins interviews:
- Refine Your Bullet Points: Flashy's analysis shows you which criteria you've "partially met." This is often a sign of a weak or vague bullet point. Use this feedback to add more detail, quantify your achievements, and use stronger action verbs.
- Identify Your Unique Selling Points: The feedback might reveal that you're a strong match on criteria that other candidates might overlook. These are your unique selling points. Make sure they're highlighted in your professional summary.
- Address Gaps Creatively: If Flashy flags a skill you don't have, don't just give up. Can you highlight a related skill? Have you taken an online course in that area? Use the feedback to address potential weaknesses proactively.
From a Good CV to a Great Story
A CV that lands interviews tells a story. It's the story of your professional journey, your skills, and your accomplishments. Flashy's feedback provides the building blocks for that story. By using the feedback to refine every detail of your CV, you can create a narrative that is not only relevant but also compelling.
