Match Your Resume to a Job Description

Paste a job posting, upload your resume, and see which keywords you match and which ones you're missing.

Does your resume speak the job's language? Many Applicant Tracking Systems help recruiters compare resumes against the job requirements. Get a job match score, the hard skills, tools and certifications the employer asks for, and a check of your job title, years of experience and degree against the requirements.

🔒 100% Private • Processed in your browser • No uploads to servers

1. Reads the job description: it finds the hard skills, tools, software, certifications and soft skills the employer asks for (over 450 terms with their acronyms and variants, such as "SEO" and "Search Engine Optimization"), plus the job title, the years of experience and the degree required. Benefits and legal boilerplate are ignored, and "required" items count more than "nice to have" ones.

2. Reads your resume the way an ATS does (PDF, DOCX or TXT), including the structure of the file.

3. Compares both:

  • Hard skills and tools (60% of the match score)
  • Job title (15%)
  • Years of experience, calculated from the dates of your roles (10%)
  • Soft skills (10%)
  • Education level (5%)

You also get a quick ATS compatibility check of your file, with a link to the full report. Everything runs in your browser: your resume and the job description never leave your device.

🌐 English resumes only. Keyword analysis, action-verb scoring and section detection are optimised for English-language resumes and job postings. Results may not be meaningful in other languages.
