Paste the job posting to score your resume against it specifically. Leave blank for a general ATS check.
Why match against the specific job description?
Most ATS platforms rank candidates partly by how closely their resume language matches the requisition text. A resume that scores well against generic ATS best practices can still score poorly for a specific role if it doesn't use that role's exact vocabulary — for example "stakeholder management" versus "client relations," or "CI/CD" versus "deployment automation."
How the matching works
- 1. Paste the job description into the optional field below the upload box.
- 2. The text is normalized — lowercased, punctuation stripped, common filler words removed.
- 3. Known multi-word technical phrases are extracted whole; remaining significant words are ranked by frequency.
- 4. Your resume text is checked against that list, accounting for singular/plural variants.
This ATS score is an estimate based on common applicant-tracking-system practices. Actual results may vary between employers and ATS platforms.
Frequently asked questions
How does the matcher decide what counts as a keyword?
It extracts significant terms from the job description you paste — including multi-word technical phrases like 'Project Management', 'ASP.NET Core', or 'CI/CD' — and filters out generic filler words like 'the', 'responsible for', or 'requirements'.
What if I don't have a job description yet?
You can still run the checker without one — it falls back to a general set of common ATS keywords so you get a baseline score.
Does it understand singular vs. plural, or word variants?
Yes, for single-word keywords it checks simple singular/plural variants (e.g. 'project' vs 'projects'). Multi-word technical phrases are matched as complete, exact phrases so they don't get split apart.
Should I copy every word from the job description into my CV?
No — only add keywords that are genuinely true of your background. The point is to mirror the employer's language where it's accurate, not to keyword-stuff your resume.
