Match Checker
Resume Checker With Job Description
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.
Everything this feature does. Built for signal, not noise.
Match score 0–100
Single objective number for how well your current resume fits this specific posting. Aim for 80+ for serious applications.
Missing keyword list
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).
Bullets ranked by fit
We score every bullet on your resume against the JD. Strongest at the top, weakest at the bottom — that's the rewrite queue.
Required vs nice-to-have detection
We split JD keywords into 'required' and 'preferred.' Missing a required keyword hurts your score more than missing a preferred one.
Seniority match
Are you positioning yourself at the right level? We compare years of experience and scope language in the JD vs your resume.
One-click tailor
If the score is low, send the resume + JD straight into the tailoring tool. Match score climbs as the AI rewrites.
How it works. Three steps to results.
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.
Read the report
Match score, missing keywords ranked by importance, ranked bullet rewrites. Tailor or self-edit from there.
Frequently asked questions. Everything you need to know.
A regular ATS checker tells you if your resume is well-formatted (parses cleanly, no tables breaking sections, etc). A resume checker with job description tells you if your resume actually fits a specific posting. You can have a perfect ATS score and a 40% match score — fine resume, wrong job.
Three factors: keyword overlap (do the JD's required terms appear in your resume?), semantic fit (does your experience match the JD's responsibilities, even when the wording differs?), and seniority alignment (are you positioned at roughly the right level?). Each is weighted and combined into a single 0–100.
80+ is competitive. 70–79 means worth applying with light tailoring. Below 60, either tailor heavily or move on — the role is probably a stretch.
No. Only add keywords that map to real experience you have. The point of surfacing missing keywords is to show you which ones to weave into existing bullets — not to inflate the resume with skills you don't have.
Yes. The resume stays uploaded; you can paste a new JD and re-score in seconds. Useful for figuring out which postings are actually worth tailoring for.
Yes — the free tier covers multiple checks per day. Paid tiers raise the cap and unlock the in-app tailoring + tracker.
