Your skills gap in three steps

1

Scan your resume

Upload your resume as a PDF or paste the text directly. The tool reads your existing skills, experience, and certifications from the document.

2

Match against the job

Paste the full job description. The analyzer compares every skill, tool, and qualification in the posting against what appears in your resume.

3

See your skills gap

Matched skills appear in green, missing skills in red, organized by category: hard skills, soft skills, and tools. You see the full picture at a glance.

What the skills match shows you

Spot the gaps that matter most

Not all missing skills carry equal weight. The matcher distinguishes between required skills and preferred ones, so you know which gaps to close first and which ones you can address in your cover letter instead.

Prioritize which skills to highlight

You may already have the skill but listed it under a different name. The matcher flags near-matches so you can reword existing experience rather than adding skills you do not have. A small wording change can move a skill from red to green.

See soft skills coverage too

Soft skills like communication, leadership, and collaboration appear in most job descriptions and get filtered by ATS just like technical skills. The matcher tracks them separately so you know if your resume is thin on the people-side requirements.

Fix gaps in minutes not hours

The match report gives you a specific list: skills to add, skills to rename, and skills already covered. Most candidates can act on the top 5 gaps in under 15 minutes and raise their ATS score by 20 to 30 points.

Common questions

Does having a skill listed once count?

Yes. ATS systems typically check for presence, not frequency. One clear mention of a skill in the right section of your resume is usually enough to register as a match. Repeating the same skill multiple times does not improve your score and can look like keyword stuffing to a human reviewer.

Are soft skills scored differently from hard skills?

The matcher tracks them separately and most ATS platforms weight hard skills more heavily. Your overall ATS score reflects that weighting. The skills breakdown shows you both categories so you can see where your coverage is strong and where it is weak without guessing.

What if I have a skill but named it differently?

The matcher uses synonym detection to catch common variations. If the job says "stakeholder management" and your resume says "client relationship management," it will flag that as a near-match rather than a miss. You still see it highlighted so you can decide whether to update your wording for that specific application.
