Resume vs Job Description Match
Resume vs Job Description Match
See how well your résumé aligns with the job you want—before you apply.
Every job description asks for something specific. Your résumé might have the right experience, but if it doesn't speak the same language as the posting, applicant tracking systems won't make the connection.
Resuvia's free match tool compares your résumé directly against any job description and returns an instant 0–100 ATS match score, plus the exact keywords your résumé is missing. No login required to see your score.
FAQ
- What does the match score actually measure?
- The 0–100 score reflects how closely your résumé's language aligns with the job description's requirements. It's based on keyword presence, not your qualifications—so a low score means you need to adjust your wording, not that you're unqualified.
- Why does the same résumé get different match scores for different jobs?
- Because every job description emphasizes different skills, tools, and responsibilities. A résumé that scores 85 for one role might score 42 for another if the second posting uses different terminology or prioritizes different qualifications.
- Should I aim for a perfect 100 match score?
- Not necessarily. A very high score can sometimes mean you've over-tailored or keyword-stuffed. Aim for a strong match that reflects your genuine experience—usually in the 70–90 range—and focus on adding only the missing keywords that honestly apply to you.
