What the resume optimizer actually checks

Most resume checkers stop at a vague score. This one shows the exact gap between your resume and the job you're targeting.

Job description match

Paste the job post next to your resume. See the exact keywords Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday scan for before a recruiter ever opens the file.

Missing keyword list

Not just a score. A line-by-line list of the skills and phrases the job description uses that your resume is currently missing.

Section-by-section score

Summary, experience, and skills each get their own score, so you know exactly which section is dragging the total down.

Fixes you can apply inline

Accept a rewritten line where it makes sense, or skip it and write your own. No fifteen-tab spreadsheet, no waiting on a career coach's calendar.

Formatting that actually parses

Flags tables, columns, and graphics that look sharp to a human recruiter and unreadable to most ATS parsers.

A cover letter that matches

Once the resume scores well, generate a cover letter built from the same keywords and matched to the company's tone.

Three steps, one sitting

How the resume optimizer works

No account required to see your first score.

  1. 1

    Paste your resume and the job post

    Drop in your current resume and the job description you're targeting. The scan runs in seconds, not after you hand over an email address.

  2. 2

    Get your ATS match score

    See a 0-100 score built from keyword overlap, section structure, and formatting, plus the exact gaps that are pulling the number down.

  3. 3

    Fix what's flagged

    Work through the missing keywords one by one, or accept a suggested line. Rescan as many times as you need until the score reflects a resume that actually gets read.

  4. 4

    Generate the matching cover letter

    Once the resume is ATS-ready, build a cover letter around the same keywords and the company's tone in a couple of minutes.

Real use case

Built for candidates applying to 10+ roles a month

Priya was sending the same resume to marketing, ops, and customer success roles at the same time, and her ATS scores were all over the place: 38% for one job post, 61% for the next, with no pattern she could see. She ran each version through the resume optimizer before sending it, kept the sections that scored well, and rewrote the ones that didn't. Her average match score went from the low 40s to the mid 70s over twelve applications, and she started getting replies instead of silence.

  • Scanned each resume against the specific job post, not a generic template
  • Kept the summary section, rewrote the skills section three times
  • Interview rate went from roughly 1 in 15 applications to 1 in 5

Platform by platform

Works before you touch Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday

Every applicant tracking system parses resumes a little differently. Workday tends to choke on nested tables and multi-column layouts. Greenhouse weighs exact keyword matches from the job description heavily. Lever is more forgiving on formatting but still rewards a resume that mirrors the language of the posting. The resume optimizer checks your resume against the same signals these systems use, so the fixes happen before you ever upload the file, not after a rejection email arrives three weeks later with no explanation.

  • Flags multi-column and table layouts that confuse most parsers
  • Matches the exact phrasing from the job description, not synonyms
  • Works the same way regardless of which platform the employer uses

Common questions about the resume optimizer

Is the resume optimizer actually free?
Yes. The first scan is free and does not require a credit card. You paste your resume and the job post, and the match score and keyword gaps show up in the same session.
How is this different from Jobscan or Teal?
Jobscan and Teal both score keyword match against a job post, and that part works well on either tool. The difference here is what happens after the scan: once your resume clears the score, the same keywords carry straight into a matching cover letter instead of sitting in a list you have to act on yourself.
Does it work for Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday specifically?
Yes. The scan checks the formatting and keyword issues that trip up all three, since none of them parse a resume exactly like a human reader would.
Will it rewrite my entire resume for me?
No. It flags what's missing and suggests specific lines you can accept, edit, or ignore. You stay in control of what actually goes out under your name.
Does formatting really affect the score?
Yes, more than most candidates expect. Tables, text boxes, and multi-column layouts that look clean in a PDF often get scrambled or skipped entirely by an ATS parser.
How many times can I rescan the same resume?
As many as you need. Most candidates rescan two or three times per job post: once after the first pass, once after fixing the top gaps, and once before hitting submit.
Do I need to create an account to see my score?
No. You can see your ATS match score and the keyword breakdown without signing up. An account is only useful if you want to save versions or generate the matching cover letter.
