What Gets Analyzed

🔑

Keyword Match Analysis

Identifies every required and preferred keyword from the job description and shows you exactly which ones appear in your resume — and which are missing.

📚

Missing Skills Identification

Beyond keywords, we analyze the underlying skills the role requires and surface gaps you may not have noticed — before the ATS does.

📐

Format & Structure Score

ATS systems reject resumes for bad formatting before they read a word. We scan for headers, section order, file type issues, and parsing errors.

💡

Actionable Improvement Suggestions

Every low score comes with specific, prioritized suggestions — not vague advice. Know exactly what to change and why it matters.

🎯

Role-Specific Optimization

Optimizing for a software engineer role is different from optimizing for a project manager role. Our engine knows the difference.
