Add your resume as a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, or paste the text. We show you the text we read, so you can spot jumbled order or missing details.
Paste the job description you want to match, or select a role to compare against typical terms for that job.
See an overall estimate, a keyword match, and format checks such as contact details, section names, length, and signs of columns.
Add missing terms that truly describe your experience, simplify the layout, and run the check again.
The overall estimate is 70% keyword match and 30% format checks. It is a simplified guide, not a simulation of Workday, Greenhouse, or any other ATS, and each employer configures its system differently. Use it to find gaps, then read our complete guide to checking your resume and formatting rules.
