Why keywords matter
Many employers use applicant tracking systems that rank resumes by how closely they match the job description. If the ad asks for "Tally ERP" and your resume only says "accounting software", you can be filtered out before a person reads it. Matching the employer's wording — honestly — is one of the quickest ways to get more interviews. Learn more in our guide to writing a resume.
Frequently asked questions
How does the resume keyword checker work?
It finds the skills, tools and qualifications a job description asks for, then checks which of them appear in your resume — the same kind of keyword matching many applicant tracking systems use to rank applications.
What is a good ATS match score?
Aim for 70% or higher on the skills the job names. Don't stuff keywords you can't back up — add the ones you genuinely have, ideally inside a bullet point that shows how you used them.
Is my resume stored or shared?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser; nothing you paste is uploaded or saved.
How do I make my resume ATS-friendly?
Use a single-column layout, standard headings and real text, and mirror the job ad's exact wording. Our ATS-friendly resume guide walks through it, and the Standard template is built for it.
