Resume Keyword Matcher
Most applications are screened by an ATS that scans for keywords from the job description. Paste your resume and the job post to see your match score and the exact keywords you are missing.
Your text is analysed entirely in your browser and never uploaded or stored. This estimates keyword overlap the way an ATS does; a real recruiter also weighs context and experience. Not a guarantee of results. Read our disclaimer.
How the Resume Keyword Matcher works
The tool reads the job description you paste, extracts the skills, tools, and qualifications that matter most (filtering out common filler words), and checks how many of them appear in your resume. Your match score is the share of those important keywords your resume already contains. Everything runs in your browser — your resume text is never uploaded or stored.
How to use your match score
- Under 50%: your resume is likely being filtered out by the ATS. Add the missing keywords you genuinely have.
- 50–75%: a solid base — weave a few more of the missing terms into your experience for a stronger match.
- Over 75%: well aligned. Now focus on making your achievements specific and quantified.
Only add keywords you can defend in an interview — never fake a skill. The goal is to make the skills you already have visible to the software, not to game it.
Why keyword matching matters
Most mid-to-large employers screen applications with an Applicant Tracking System before a recruiter ever sees them, and it ranks resumes largely on how well they match the job description. A strong candidate with the wrong wording can be filtered out automatically. Tailoring your keywords to each role is one of the highest-impact moves in a modern job search.

Frequently asked questions
Is my resume data private?
Yes. The analysis happens entirely in your browser — your resume and the job description are never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
What is a good match score?
Aim for 75% or higher on the keywords that genuinely apply to you. You do not need a perfect 100% — a strong, honest match on the important terms is what counts.
Should I add every missing keyword?
No — only the ones you truly have. Add them naturally within your experience and skills sections, backed by real results.
