How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Pick your resume

Select from your saved resumes. If you don't have one yet, create one first — the analysis is most useful when it has your real experience to work with.

Paste the job description

The full JD works best. AI extracts the required skills, preferred qualifications, and seniority signals — then cross-references every line with your resume.

See your gap breakdown

Missing skills show in red. Nice-to-have gaps show in amber. Seniority mismatches show in violet. AI gives you numbered recommendations in priority order.

What you get

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Match score (0–100)

A single number that tells you how well your resume fits the role — before you spend 45 minutes on an application.

Missing skills breakdown

Red pills for every required skill the JD asks for that your resume doesn't mention — with context on why each one matters.

Nice-to-have gaps

Amber pills for preferred skills. You might not need all of them, but knowing which ones you're missing helps you frame your experience better.

Seniority signals

Violet pills flag when the role expects a different experience level. Useful for stretch applications — shows you exactly what you'd need to address.

Numbered recommendations

AI gives you a prioritized list of exactly what to do — add this skill, reframe this bullet, address this gap in your cover letter.

One-click skill add

Missing skills can be added directly to your resume's Skills section from the results screen — no switching tabs.
