Step 1
Upload your resume
We extract skills, tools, and role terms from your document.
Step 2
Paste a job description
We pull must-haves from the posting to find gaps.
Step 3
Get your keyword report
Detected keywords, missing must-haves, and placement tips.
Tip: Use the exact job posting you’re applying to for the most relevant missing-keyword list.
Detected keywords (grouped)
A clean inventory of skills, tools, and role terms already present in your resume.
Missing must-haves (optional JD)
A prioritized list of keywords you’re not mentioning yet—based on the job posting you paste.
Placement tips (no stuffing)
Guidance on where to add terms so they read naturally and are backed by evidence.
Proof prompts
Quick suggestions for what to add: metrics, scope, tooling, or project details that validate a keyword.
Clarity upgrades
Spot vague lines and turn them into role-aligned bullets hiring teams can trust.
This is what you’ll see after you run a keyword scan.
Detected keywords
React, TypeScript, GraphQL, CI/CD, Sentry, performance profiling
Missing keywords (from JD)
React Testing Library, A/B testing, error budgets
Placement tip (example)
Add “React Testing Library” under the project where you wrote component tests—include what you tested and how you measured reliability.

Recruiters don’t have time to guess. If must-haves aren’t obvious, you’re easy to pass over.
The fix is usually better evidence and cleaner placement—not a bigger keyword list.
Keyword lists can backfire when they aren’t supported by proof. Hiring teams notice—and it can hurt trust.
Instead, mirror the job’s wording only when it’s true, then attach evidence: what you built, which tools you used, and what changed because of your work.
That’s how you improve keyword coverage while keeping your resume readable for both recruiters and screening systems.

It extracts skills, tools, and role terms from your resume, then shows what you cover, what you may be missing, and where to add keywords with proof.
No. You can scan your resume as-is. If you paste a job description, we’ll also surface missing must-haves for that specific role.
No. This tool focuses on keyword coverage and placement. If you want ATS formatting/parsing checks, use the ATS Resume Checker.
Yes—there’s a Free plan with limited scans. Higher limits (or unlimited) are available on Pro.
Don’t add terms you can’t back up. Add keywords only where they match your real experience—then tie them to a bullet, project, tool, or metric.
Ideally inside experience bullets, projects, and a focused skills/core competencies section—where a recruiter can verify them quickly.
Both work. Clean, text-based files are best. Avoid heavy graphics that can reduce clarity.
No tool can guarantee outcomes. The goal is to make must-haves obvious and credible so you’re easier to screen and trust.
In the US and Canada, “resume” is standard. Many people say “CV” elsewhere. Keyword coverage principles are the same.
