How This Differs from ATS Checkers

Beyond Keywords

ATS checkers scan for keywords. We analyze whether your experience actually demonstrates the skill.

Context Recognition

We understand that 'led product launches' shows both leadership AND product management - not just keyword matching.

Gap Remediation

We don't just flag gaps - we suggest specific ways to address them on your resume or in interviews.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use your actual resume text, not a summarized version. The AI needs to see your specific language.
  • Include the full job description with all requirements and qualifications.
  • Run the analyzer before customizing your resume for a specific role.
  • For gaps, consider if you have related experience you haven't highlighted.
  • Use identified gaps as talking points in interviews to address proactively.
  • Re-run after updating your resume to see if your match score improved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the match score calculated?

We analyze your resume against each requirement in the job description, looking for evidence of relevant skills, experience, and qualifications. The score reflects the percentage of requirements where we found clear alignment in your resume.

What's a good match score?

70%+ is generally strong - you're likely qualified for the role. 50-70% means you have relevant experience but may need to highlight transferable skills or address gaps. Below 50% suggests the role may be a stretch, though career changers often start here.

Should I tailor my resume for every application?

Yes, for roles you're serious about. Use the analyzer to identify which skills to emphasize and which gaps to address. Even small adjustments - like reordering bullet points or adding keywords - can significantly improve your match score.

How do I address gaps I can't fix?

Not all gaps require resume changes. Some are better addressed in your cover letter or interview. For example, if you lack direct ML experience but have data analysis skills, prepare to discuss how those skills transfer.

Is my resume data stored or used for training?

No. We don't train our models on your resume or job descriptions. Your data is only used to generate your analysis and is stored securely in your account. You can delete any session from your dashboard at any time.
