In more detail
What a resume keyword scanner is for
Recruiters and applicant tracking systems often search resumes for the skills a role names. If your resume describes the right experience in different words, it can be harder to find for that specific job.
Jude's scan compares your resume against the posting you paste in and shows where the language lines up and where a relevant term is missing — so you can close real gaps rather than guess.
Use keywords honestly
Only add terms you can back up. Keyword stuffing is easy to spot and falls apart in an interview; the goal is to state experience you actually have, in the words the role uses.
Put matched skills where they're easy to see — in context, in your recent roles — rather than buried in a list at the bottom.
Simple workflow
Match your resume to the words the job uses
1. Add the job posting
Paste the role you're targeting so the scan compares against the real requirements.
2. See matched and missing terms
Find the role-relevant skills your resume states clearly — and the ones it doesn't.
3. Add only what's true
Work in the missing terms you genuinely have, in plain language, then rescan.
Questions
Does this help me beat the ATS?
It helps you state real, role-relevant skills in clear language — not trick the system. Honest matching is what holds up with a recruiter.
Do I need a job description?
Yes — paste the posting so the keyword comparison reflects that specific role.
