Resume keyword checker
Paste a job posting and your resume to see which of the posting's most repeated terms your resume already uses. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser.
Nothing you paste leaves this page. The check runs in your browser and is not saved.
Paste both to see which of the posting's terms your resume already uses.
How the checker works
It reads the posting clause by clause and counts single words and two-word phrases, such as "product roadmap" or "stakeholder management". A term counts when the posting uses it at least twice, or when it is an acronym the posting writes in capitals, such as SQL, CRM, C++ or C#. Filler words like "experience" and "team" are ignored, and it keeps the thirty most repeated terms.
Your resume is read the same way, so "cross-functional" matches "cross functional" and "CI/CD" matches "CI CD". Missing terms are listed most repeated first, with a count beside any the posting used more than once, which is a reasonable order to look at them in.
What it does not do: it does not read synonyms, it does not check your file format or layout, and it does not give a score. A resume that uses most of a posting's repeated terms honestly may be easier for a reader to match to the job. One that uses all of them because they were pasted in is not.
How to use the result
Terms you already use show where your resume and the posting already speak the same language. For the missing ones, look for real experience you described in different words, and use the posting's term instead where it is accurate.
Do not add a term for work you have not done. For more on this, read resume keywords from a job posting and how to tailor a resume to a job posting.
Questions
- Is this an ATS score?
- No. It shows which of the terms a posting repeats most already appear in your resume. No checker can tell you how a particular employer's system will rank you, so this one does not pretend to.
- Should I add every missing term?
- No. Add a term only where your history truly supports it, in a sentence you could explain in an interview. Leave the rest out.
- Is my resume stored?
- No. The check runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere or saved.
