ATS Resume Keyword Matcher
Paste your resume and the job description below — no account, no scan limit, nothing sent to a server.
In both (matched)
In the job description, missing from your resume
This checks for exact keyword overlap between the two texts — the same core signal most ATS keyword filters use — not grammar, formatting, or whether a word is used in a meaningfully relevant sentence. Common words (the, and, with, etc.) are excluded automatically. Treat this as a starting checklist, not a guarantee of passing any specific employer's system.
Free ATS resume keyword checker — paste your resume and a job description to see the exact keyword overlap, with no account, no monthly scan limit, and nothing uploaded to a server.
How it works
- Paste your resume text and the job description text into the two boxes
- Common filler words (the, and, with, etc.) are automatically excluded
- See your keyword match percentage plus exactly which keywords are missing from your resume
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Jobscan?
Jobscan's free tier caps out at 5 scans a month and requires an account; going past that runs close to $50/month. This tool has no account, no scan limit, and processes everything in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Does a high match percentage guarantee I'll pass an ATS?
No. This checks keyword overlap, which is the core signal most ATS keyword filters use, but it doesn't check formatting, file type, or whether your resume is otherwise parseable — and every employer's actual system is different. Treat a high match as a good sign, not a guarantee.
Why are some real keywords missing from the results?
Words under 3 characters and common filler words (the, and, with, for, etc.) are filtered out automatically so the keyword lists stay focused on meaningful terms — skills, tools, and role-specific language rather than grammar.
