Free CV check for Netherlands

Score your CV against Netherlands's hiring norms: length, photo, personal details, date format and application language — with concrete fixes and no account needed.

Quick answer

In Netherlands a CV normally runs to 2 pages, a photo is optional, personal details are minimal, dates are written as Month YYYY – Month YYYY, and applications are written in Dutch or English. The check measures your CV against exactly those rules.

Your CV is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI model for the score.

Get your fixes by email

A recap of your result, the one fix that matters most, and what changes when you tailor per application. Three emails, no drip forever.

We store your address in the EU, use it only for these emails, and delete it on request.
