This is a simplified keyword-overlap estimate, not a simulation of any specific ATS software and not a guarantee of passing any application system or getting an interview. Only add skills or claims to your resume that are honestly true.

Missing from your resume
About this tool
The Resume Keyword Match Checker pulls the most frequent, meaningful words out of a job description and checks how many of them also appear in your resume. Many real-world applicant tracking systems (ATS) do some version of keyword matching before a human ever sees your resume, so a low overlap can mean a strong candidate gets filtered out before the interview stage.
This tool gives you a quick, free way to see which important terms from a job posting are missing from your resume, so you can decide whether to add them (if genuinely true of your experience) before you apply.
How to use it
- Paste the full job description into the left box.
- Paste your current resume text into the right box.
- Click Check match.
- Review your match percentage and the specific missing keywords.
- Add any missing terms that honestly reflect your real experience – never add skills or claims you cannot back up.
Pro tips
- Aim to naturally weave in missing keywords rather than keyword-stuffing – real ATS platforms and human recruiters both penalize resumes that read like a list of buzzwords.
- Run this for every job you apply to – the important keywords change from posting to posting, even for similar job titles.
