Resume Keyword Matcher — Compare Your Resume to a Job Description
Find which keywords from a job description are missing from your resume. The comparison runs locally — your resume text never leaves your browser.
Paste a job description and your resume. The tool finds significant keywords from the JD and checks which ones your resume is missing.
How the keyword matcher works.
The tool extracts significant terms from the job description by tokenizing the text, removing common English stop words, and preserving known technical skills and methodologies. It then checks each term against your resume text and reports which ones are present and which are missing.
Multi-word terms like “machine learning” and “a/b testing” are detected as bigrams when they appear in our priority list. Frequency counts show how often each keyword appears in the job description, which hints at its importance.
Add missing keywords honestly.
A missing keyword is a signal, not a command. Only add a keyword to your resume if it truthfully describes your experience. Listing skills you do not have will hurt you in the interview and can get you rejected after a skills test.
The match score is a rough indicator of alignment. A high score does not guarantee an interview, and a low score does not mean you are unqualified — many strong candidates use different terminology for the same skill.
The tool checks for keyword presence in plain text. It does not parse PDF formatting, evaluate context, or replicate how a specific ATS scores resumes.
Your resume text stays in your browser.
This tool does not upload, store, or transmit your resume or the job description. All analysis runs in your browser. Analytics may record that the tool was used, subject to consent, but never the pasted text, keywords, or match score.
