Resume Keyword Matching Tool
Resume Keyword Matching Tool
See exactly which job description keywords your résumé matches—and which ones it's missing.
Applicant tracking systems match résumés to job descriptions by looking for specific keywords. If your résumé doesn't include the terms the employer is searching for, it may never reach a human reader—even if you're qualified.
Resuvia's free keyword matching tool compares your résumé directly against any job description and shows you a 0–100 match score, plus the exact keywords you're missing. No login required to see your results.
FAQ
- How does keyword matching work between my résumé and a job description?
- The tool extracts important terms from the job description—skills, qualifications, tools, and role-specific language—then checks whether those same keywords appear in your résumé. Your match score reflects how many of the job's priority keywords your résumé includes.
- What if my résumé uses different words than the job description but means the same thing?
- ATS software typically looks for exact or very close keyword matches, not synonyms. If the job description says 'stakeholder management' and your résumé says 'client communication,' many systems won't connect them. Matching the employer's exact language improves your chances of passing automated screening.
- Should I match every single keyword the tool identifies?
- No. Focus on keywords that honestly reflect your experience. If you've never used a tool or skill the job requires, adding it as a keyword won't help you in an interview. Prioritize matching the keywords you can back up with real examples.
