Match Checker
A general ATS check tells you whether your resume is well-formatted. A resume checker with job description tells you whether it actually fits a specific role. Paste any posting, upload your resume, get a match score, missing keywords, and a ranked list of bullets that need rewriting.
What's Included
Single objective number for how well your current resume fits this specific posting. Aim for 80+ for serious applications.
Every keyword in the JD that's not in your resume — ranked by how often it appears in the posting (a proxy for how much it matters).
We score every bullet on your resume against the JD. Strongest at the top, weakest at the bottom — that's the rewrite queue.
We split JD keywords into 'required' and 'preferred.' Missing a required keyword hurts your score more than missing a preferred one.
Are you positioning yourself at the right level? We compare years of experience and scope language in the JD vs your resume.
If the score is low, send the resume + JD straight into the tailoring tool. Match score climbs as the AI rewrites.
How It Works
Paste the job description
Anything copy-pasted from LinkedIn, Indeed, or a careers page works. Long postings parse better than short ones.
Upload your resume
Latest version. We parse the bullets and run them against the JD.
