Compare your skills against any job description. The skills matcher shows what you have, what is missing, and which gaps matter most to ATS systems.
Find your skills gaps nowUpload your resume as a PDF or paste the text directly. The tool reads your existing skills, experience, and certifications from the document.
Paste the full job description. The analyzer compares every skill, tool, and qualification in the posting against what appears in your resume.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
