Free resume keyword scanner
Free resume keyword scanner with an evidence plan.
Compare one resume with one target job. See which requirements are mandatory, what your resume actually proves, and which fixes are worth making first.
Comparison workspace
Add the resume and target role
Only add requirements you can support.
How the plan works
It separates required and preferred signals, maps them to resume sections, distinguishes evidence from Skills-only mentions, and prioritizes fixes.
What the result means
A proven signal appears in Experience or Projects. A Skills-only signal needs context. A missing signal should be added only when your background supports it.
Before you edit
Only add requirements you can defend. Read our resume keyword guide before making changes.
How to use a resume keyword scanner
- Paste the resume you plan to send.
- Paste one target job description, including its required and preferred qualifications.
- Review the required signals first and open the evidence rows that need context.
- Make only truthful edits, then run the plan again before applying.
What this resume keyword scanner checks
The scanner looks for common skills, tools, credentials, responsibilities, and role language. It recognizes common written variants, checks whether a signal appears in a standard resume section, and shows a short evidence excerpt when it finds one.
It is a planning aid, not a hiring prediction. Keyword presence alone is not proof of ability, and a missing term is not a reason to add a claim you cannot explain.
