Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to scan, sort, and filter resumes based on keywords, formatting, and other criteria. Popular ATS systems include Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and Lever.

What score should I aim for?

Aim for at least 70-80% keyword match. Below 50% means your resume likely needs significant reworking to pass ATS filters. Above 80% is excellent.

Can I match single words like "AI" or "UI"?

Yes! The tool matches keywords of any length, including short terms like AI, UI, UX, SQL, etc. Even a single word in the job description will be matched against your resume.

How does keyword highlighting work?

After clicking Analyze, all matched keywords are highlighted in green directly within your resume text. This lets you see exactly where each keyword appears and helps you ensure proper context.

Should I just stuff keywords into my resume?

No. ATS systems have evolved to detect keyword stuffing. Instead, naturally incorporate the missing keywords into your experience descriptions, skills section, and summary.

Can I upload Word documents?

Yes! The tool supports both PDF and DOCX formats. Text is extracted automatically using PDF.js and Mammoth.js — all in your browser.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, 100% free. All features — full keyword list, categorization, frequency analysis, keyword highlighting, suggestions, and PDF report — are included at no cost.
