Why Keyword Matching Matters
ATS Filtering
Applicant Tracking Systems scan for specific keywords from the job description. Missing key terms means automatic rejection.
Higher Rankings
The more keywords you match, the higher your resume ranks. Top-ranked candidates get reviewed first by recruiters.
Relevance Signal
Matching keywords shows you understand the role and have relevant experience. It's your first impression.
The Numbers Don't Lie

- Tailoring your resume to each job can increase response rates by 50%
- Most job seekers don't customize their resume, giving you an easy advantage
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the keyword matching work?
Our tool extracts skills, tools, certifications, and qualifications from both your resume and the job description. It then compares them to show you what matches, what's missing, and what extras you have. We use a comprehensive database of 600+ technical skills, soft skills, and tools.
What's a good match percentage?
A match of 70%+ is good, 85%+ is excellent. However, focus on matching the most important keywords (those mentioned multiple times or marked as "required"). A 60% match with all required skills is better than 80% missing critical requirements.
Should I add keywords I don't actually have?
No! Never lie on your resume. Instead, look for related experience you may have forgotten to include. For example, if the job wants "project management" but you don't have that exact phrase, you might have "led cross-functional teams" which is similar. Our $3 AI optimizer helps you find these hidden matches through interview questions.
What if I'm missing required skills?
If you're missing truly required skills, you may not be qualified for the role. However, many "required" skills are actually flexible. Focus on highlighting transferable skills and be honest in your cover letter about what you're learning. For skills you do have, make sure they're prominently featured.
How often should I tailor my resume?
Ideally, you should customize your resume for every application. At minimum, adjust it for different types of roles. Keep a "master resume" with all your experience, then create targeted versions that emphasize relevant skills for each job category.
Is my data stored or shared?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your resume and job description are analyzed client-side and never sent to our servers. Your data remains completely private and is not stored anywhere.
