Results
Your results appear here after you compare.
You will see keywords already present, potential missing keywords, skills already demonstrated and areas to review.
What the matcher compares
Keywords already present
Important words and phrases from the job description that also appear in your resume.
Potential missing keywords
Terms the posting uses that were not found in your resume. Some may not apply to you, and that is fine.
Skills already demonstrated
Skills from your resume that the job description also mentions, with a note when they appear in your experience and not only in a skills list.
Areas to review
Practical prompts, such as whether the job title appears in your resume or a requirement deserves a closer look.
Use keywords honestly
Only add a skill or qualification if it accurately reflects your experience. A keyword that you cannot support in an interview does more harm than a gap on the page.
- If you have the skill, use the employer’s wording for it.
- Show where you used it: a role, a project or a result.
- If you do not have it, leave it out.
Keyword overlap is not a hiring prediction, and it does not guarantee how an applicant tracking system will rank your application.
Nothing is uploaded
The job description and your resume are compared in this browser tab. They are not sent to CVCraftHub servers, stored on this page or included in analytics.
Frequently asked questions
Does this use AI?
No. The matcher counts words and phrases with a simple, local method. It does not send your text to an AI service.
Should I add every missing keyword?
No. Add a keyword only when it describes real experience. Many postings list more than any one person has.
What does “Duplicate Resume for This Job” do?
It saves a copy of the resume you picked, named after the job title and company, in this browser. Your original resume is not changed, and you can edit the copy in the resume builder.
Is a higher keyword count always better?
Not on its own. Clear, relevant experience matters more than repeating terms. Use the list as a prompt to check your wording, not as a target to hit.
