Resume keyword scanner

Most keyword scanners count words. A posting that asks for “stakeholder management” and a resume that says “stakeholder” once in a skills list look like a match, even when nothing in your experience shows it.

Recruiters search the fields an applicant-tracking system extracts, then read the lines that come back. What helps is a requirement shown in a real sentence about your work, not a word repeated in a list.

• Every requirement in the posting, marked key, important or nice to have.
• Matched, partial or missing for each one. A match always quotes the line from your resume that shows it, and that quote is checked against your resume word for word.
• Screening questions kept apart: years of experience, degrees, location, work rights and named certifications are listed separately and never move the score.
• An ATS score and a recruiter score, calculated in code from your document, with every weight published.

Only add it if it’s true. If you’ve done the work, say where: one short answer is enough, and Resumeize writes the line from what you told it. You approve it before it goes in.

If you haven’t done it, leave it out. A keyword you can’t talk about in an interview costs more than it gains, and the scanner never adds one for you.

Repeating a word to raise a score reads badly to a person and can count against you. Resumeize takes points off when one word passes 3% of your resume, and the methodology explains exactly how.
