Free resume keyword matcher
Paste a job description and your resume to see which of the posting’s skills, tools and certifications your resume already mentions, and which it does not. Alias-aware, instant, and it runs in your browser: nothing you paste is uploaded.
What to do with the result
- Add what is true. A keyword you have real experience with but never wrote down belongs in your skills or a bullet. Do not add ones you cannot talk about in an interview.
- Use the posting’s name for it. If you wrote “Postgres” and the posting says “PostgreSQL”, the matcher counts it, but a recruiter searching their system may not. Match the wording where you honestly can.
- Then go deeper. Track the job in Rezome (the button under your result) to see, requirement by requirement, which line of your resume is the evidence — and to reorder and reword your resume for it without inventing anything.
Questions about the keyword matcher
- Is anything I paste uploaded?
- No. The comparison runs in your browser with a built-in list of about a thousand skills, tools and certifications; the posting and your resume text stay on this page. The only way the posting reaches Rezome is if you press "Track this job", sign in, and save it as an application in your account. Your resume text never does.
- What counts as a keyword?
- Named skills, tools, technologies, domains, certifications and ways of working that appear in the posting and in Rezome's lexicon — Python, Power BI, Kubernetes, GST, PMP, stakeholder management. General phrases such as "fast-paced environment" are not keywords and are not counted.
- What does the percentage mean?
- The share of the posting's keywords that appear somewhere in your resume text, by exact wording or a known alias. It is a count, not a prediction: a keyword not found is absent from the text you pasted, nothing more, and a high percentage does not mean the resume is good — only that it uses the posting's vocabulary.
- Does it recognise different spellings?
- Yes. Node.js, NodeJS and node js are one thing; Postgres is PostgreSQL; K8s is Kubernetes; and listing MySQL counts as evidence of SQL. Ambiguous words such as Go, R and Excel are matched only with their exact capitalisation, so "go live" does not count as the Go language.
- How is this different from the job matching inside Rezome?
- This page counts vocabulary. Inside Rezome, a job you track is analysed line by line (required, preferred, responsibilities) and each requirement is matched to the specific line of your resume that best shows it, with that line quoted as evidence. Track the job here and that is the next step.
