Check your resume against a job description without uploading either. Get a match score, see the exact keywords you are missing, and catch the problems that get resumes auto-rejected.
Before a person reads your resume, software usually does. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) parse your resume into text and rank it against the job description, and resumes that do not use the posting's vocabulary sink to the bottom of the pile no matter how qualified the candidate is. This tool shows you that gap before you apply: load your resume, paste the job description, and get a match score, the exact keywords you are missing, and a set of hygiene checks for the problems that get resumes auto-rejected outright.
Everything runs in your browser. Your resume is one of the densest bundles of personal information you own: name, contact details, employers, dates, education. Most online resume checkers ask you to upload it (and often to create an account) before showing you anything. Here, the PDF or DOCX is read by your own browser, the analysis happens on your device, and nothing is transmitted, stored, or seen by anyone. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
Built to pair with the Resume Builder, which produces the kind of clean, text-based, ATS-readable PDF this tool will score well on.
Load your resume, paste the job description, and click Check. The tool extracts the keywords the job posting emphasizes, scores how many your resume covers, and lists exactly which ones are missing, all in your browser with no account and no upload.
Be careful: most resume checkers upload your resume to their servers, and a resume is a dense bundle of personal data. This one is different by architecture. The PDF or DOCX is read by your own browser, the analysis runs on your device, and nothing is transmitted anywhere. You can even go offline after the page loads.
There is no magic number, but resumes that clear automated screens typically cover most of the hard skills named in the requirements section. Aim to truthfully include the missing keywords that describe things you have actually done, using the same words the posting uses. Never add skills you do not have.
The three big reasons: the resume is an image-based PDF the system cannot read at all, the resume uses different words than the job description for the same skills, and unusual layouts like tables or text boxes that scramble the parsed text. This checker flags the first problem automatically and solves the second by showing you the exact vocabulary gap.
No. Modern systems parse the raw text, so hidden white text is fully visible to them and to any recruiter who copies your resume text. Many systems flag it, and recruiters treat it as dishonesty. Adding real keywords for real skills works better and carries no risk.
