Job-Specific Optimization
Every resume matches the exact job requirements
Guide · Tailoring
Where an employer keeps applications in an applicant tracking system such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or iCIMS, recruiters can search them by keyword. Our ATS resume checker shows you exactly which terms from the posting your resume is missing, in under 30 seconds.
Start Tailoring Now →A resume sent unchanged to every posting describes your work in your words, not the words each recruiter searches for. Why that wording matters is covered in how ATS screening works; this page is the edit itself.

Step 2 reads one posting. To see which terms recur across a whole role before you start, the ATS resume keyword study counts them across real job postings for seven roles. Once the gap list comes back, how to read a keyword gap explains which entries to act on.
Before you paste a posting, you can see which five terms the postings for each role we studied name most often. Use them as a prompt for what to check on your resume, not as a list to copy: add a term only where it is true of your work.

Recruiters search their ATS for the posting's terms. A resume that uses them is more likely to come back in those searches.
A hiring manager reading your resume next to the posting finds its requirements in the same words, tied to your work.
The analysis of one posting comes back in about 30 seconds. The edits are yours to make, or to start from the rewrite.

The steps are the same whichever ATS an employer runs. How Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and iCIMS differ is covered in what an ATS match score measures.
The analysis of one posting comes back in about 30 seconds. The full rewrite takes two to three minutes, and the edits are yours to make or to start from it.
It reads the posting you paste, so it is not limited to a list of industries. It works best on postings that name specific skills and tools. A vague posting gives it little to match.
It rewords what you already wrote so it uses the posting's terms. If a missing keyword names a skill you do not have, leave it out. You are the one sending it.
A builder gives you a template. This reads one posting, compares it with your resume, and lists the terms the posting uses that your resume never mentions.
