Common questions

How does a resume job description matcher work?

It extracts skill and keyword terms from the job description, then checks whether each one appears in your resume text. Terms are grouped by importance (required vs. preferred) and a weighted score is calculated.

Is the matcher free to use?

Yes. Paste any job description and upload your resume. No account, no sign-in, no payment. You get a keyword coverage score, matched and missing terms, and tailoring tips instantly.

What is the difference between this and an ATS checker?

An ATS checker scores your resume file for format and structure: file type, sections, layout safety. A JD matcher compares your content to a specific posting. Both matter: pass the format check first, then align to the role.

How accurate is resume JD matching without AI?

The score reflects keyword coverage: how many required and preferred terms from the JD appear in your resume text. It does not evaluate context, experience depth, or employer-specific ranking logic. Use it as a gap map, not a final verdict.
