Questions

How do I match my resume to a job description?

Paste the job description, add your resume, and you get a weighted 0–100 match: hard skills matter most, exact job-title alignment next, education only when the JD requires a degree, soft skills least. You also get every missing keyword classified, and specific rewrites.

What match score do I need to apply?

75+ is the commonly recommended bar. But apply anyway if you clear the must-haves — the score measures recruiter-search visibility, not your worth. Fix the title line and missing hard skills first; they move the score most.

Why does the exact job title matter so much?

Recruiters search and filter by title, and systems like Workday weight it heavily — resumes carrying the exact target title interview ~3.5× more often. Put the target title in your headline if you honestly do that work.

Will it invent experience to boost my score?

Never. Rewrite suggestions only surface experience you already have in the resume or tell you honestly which gap to close. Fabricated keywords fail at the first interview question — and our own AI interviewer is exactly what catches them.
