This ATS resume matcher helps you compare your resume with a job description to see how well your wording lines up. ATS stands for applicant tracking system, the software many employers use to collect and filter applications. Recruiters often search these systems by keyword, so a resume that leaves out the skills and terms in a job posting can be overlooked. Paste your resume text and the job description, and the tool shows how they match so you can spot missing keywords and decide what to add where it is honest to do so. Treat any ATS score as a rough guide, because every employer system works differently and no tool can tell you how a specific one will rank you. Use the results to tailor your CV for each application rather than to stuff keywords. The tool runs in your browser, so your resume and the job text are not uploaded to a server. It needs no account, is free and works offline once the page has loaded.
