Common CV red flags

Unexplained gaps, vague titles ("various consulting"), employers that can't be verified, date ranges that don't add up, and buzzword padding without concrete outcomes. None of them is disqualifying on its own — they're signals for what to ask in the interview. This tool only reads professional content and never judges protected characteristics.
