CV gap check

Analysis of periods without registered employment

A CV gap check analyses periods without registered employment in the candidate's work history. The system identifies uncovered periods automatically, and gives the candidate the opportunity to explain gaps directly in the process.

Automatic If no gaps are detected, the check completes without extra steps for the candidate.
Chronological All stated employment periods are sorted and analysed automatically.
Explained The candidate provides context directly in the process, not afterwards.
Protect data privacy The check is secure and built in accordance with GDPR.

Why it matters

Why is this relevant?

A gap in a CV isn't necessarily problematic. Many people have periods of study, parental leave, illness or job searching. By giving the candidate the opportunity to explain gaps directly in the process, you ensure a more complete picture — and avoid being left with unanswered questions.

  • Automatic identification

    The system sorts employment periods chronologically and identifies uncovered gaps without manual work.

  • The candidate explains themselves

    Each gap is presented with start and end dates. The candidate must provide an explanation before the process continues — you don't need to ask later.

  • Facts, not conclusions

    Right Person does not determine whether a gap is disqualifying. We present facts and the candidate's explanation; the organisation assesses relevance for the role.

What you actually get out of it

Complete picture of employment history

We identify periods not covered by employment, so you can make an informed assessment, not a guess.

Context directly from the candidate

The candidate provides the explanation themselves, in the process. You don't end up with unanswered questions, and the candidate avoids a follow-up conversation.

The organisation assesses relevance

Right Person does not determine whether a gap is disqualifying. We present facts and explanation; you as data controller assess whether the gap is relevant for the role.
