From job description to prioritized keyword list

1

Paste the job posting

Copy the full job description text. The more complete it is, the more accurate your keyword gap report will be.

2

Submit your resume

Upload a PDF or paste your resume text. The analyzer extracts all meaningful terms from both documents and compares them.

3

Get your prioritized gap list

See every missing keyword ranked by frequency. High-frequency terms in the job description that are absent from your resume appear at the top.

Why keyword gaps matter

Ranked by importance, not alphabetical

A term that appears 8 times in the job description matters more than one that appears once. The gap analysis weights keywords by frequency so you focus on what actually moves the needle.

Hard skills separated from soft skills

Technical keywords like "Kubernetes" or "SQL" carry far more weight in ATS scoring than generic phrases like "team player." The analysis separates these categories so you can prioritize the right gaps.

See what is matching too

The report shows your existing keyword matches alongside the gaps. You can see which qualifications are already well-represented and which areas need attention before you apply.

Works for any industry or role

Whether you are applying for a software engineering role or a marketing position, the keyword gap analysis adapts to the vocabulary of the job. No industry-specific setup required.

Common questions

Should I add every keyword from the gap list?

No. Only add keywords that genuinely reflect your experience. ATS systems flag keyword stuffing, and recruiters who read your resume after it passes will notice terms that do not match your actual background.

Does the gap analysis work on PDFs?

Yes. You can upload your resume as a PDF and the parser extracts the text automatically. For best results, avoid image-based PDFs that were scanned rather than exported from a document editor.

How many keywords does a typical job description have?

Most job descriptions contain between 20 and 60 distinct keywords. The gap analysis filters out common filler words and focuses on terms that signal specific skills, tools, or qualifications the employer is screening for.
