You passed the ATS. Now what?

Standard ATS systems check if your resume is parseable. But what actually gets you the interview is whether you match the job. Our Job Match Score measures that. Built on 1,000+ resumes manually reviewed by FAANG engineers.

No credit card. Takes 30 seconds.

Why job match matters more than ATS

ATS checks if your resume can be parsed. Job match checks if you are qualified. Both matter. Only one gets you the interview.

Questions people ask

What is a job match score?

A job match score measures how well your resume aligns with a specific job description. It compares your skills, experience, and keywords against what the employer is looking for, giving you a percentage match before you apply.

How is this different from an ATS score?

An ATS score measures how well your resume is formatted for applicant tracking systems. A job match score measures how well your content matches a specific job. You need both to get the interview.

What makes a good job match score?

70%+ is a strong match. 80%+ is excellent. Below 60% means you are missing key skills or experience the employer requires. Our tool shows you exactly which keywords and skills you are missing so you can improve.

Can I check my resume against any job?

Yes. Paste any job description from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or any company careers page. Our AI extracts the key requirements and compares them against your resume.

What if my match score is low?

A low score does not mean you are unqualified. It means your resume is not showing the right keywords and skills. Our AI tailoring tool can rewrite your resume to match the job by adding keywords, quantifying achievements, and restructuring content.

Is the job match score free?

Yes. You get 1 free job match score check with no credit card required. Upload your resume, paste a job description, and see your score. If you want AI tailoring to improve your match, upgrade to a paid plan.
