FAQ

Common questions

How does the resume keyword checker work?

Our tool extracts technical keywords, skills, and tools from the job description, then scans your resume text for matches. It uses alias matching (e.g., 'React' matches 'ReactJS') for accurate results. Everything runs in your browser - your data never leaves your device.

What is a good keyword match percentage?

Aim for 70% or higher. Most ATS systems and recruiters look for strong keyword alignment. A score above 70% means your resume covers most of the key requirements. Below 40% suggests significant gaps that could hurt your chances.

Does this tool send my resume to a server?

No. The keyword matching runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your resume and job description text never leave your device. No data is stored or transmitted.

How is this different from an ATS score checker?

A keyword checker focuses specifically on whether your resume contains the right keywords from the job description. An ATS score checker evaluates broader formatting and structural factors. We offer both tools - try our ATS Score Checker for a full formatting audit.

Is this like Jobscan?

Similar concept, but completely free with no scan limits. Like Jobscan, our resume checker compares your resume against a job description and shows keyword matches and gaps. Unlike Jobscan, everything runs in your browser with no login required and no monthly fee.
