The job ad
How your CV is compared with the job
- We take the words and phrases that matter in the ad: tools, acronyms, fields and what gets repeated. We leave out words found in any ad ("team", "proactive") and the company name.
- We look for each one in your CV, singular or plural.
- We show you what's missing first, and what's repeated most, because that's where the room for improvement is.
This isn't an ATS score: it's how much of what the job asks for is written in your CV. To see how an ATS reads your whole CV (contact details, sections, dates), use What the ATS sees in your CV.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare my CV to a job description?
Paste the job ad, upload your CV as a PDF or Word file (or paste its text) and press "Compare". You'll see the ad's keywords that are missing from your CV and the ones you already have.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It's free and you don't need an account. We don't store your CV or the ad: they're read, compared on the spot and forgotten.
What do I do with the missing keywords?
If you really did them, add them to your experience with a concrete example. If you didn't, leave them out: your CV has to hold up in the interview.
Is this the same as an ATS score?
No. This measures how much of the ad appears in your CV. An ATS also checks whether it can read your CV, your details and your sections; you can see that in "What the ATS sees in your CV".
