Why good candidates get screened out

The first read is rarely a person

A posting that attracts hundreds of applications is filtered before anyone reads it, usually by searching for the terms in the job description. A resume that says “built reporting pipelines” when the requirement says “ETL” describes the same work in words the search will never find. That is not a skills problem — it is a vocabulary problem, and it is the cheapest one to fix.

One resume cannot serve every role

The same experience reads differently against a platform engineering role and a data engineering role. Checking your resume against each requirement before you apply tells you which few lines need to change, rather than leaving you to rewrite the whole thing or send the same document everywhere.

Honest keywords only

This tool shows the terms in the requirement that are missing from your resume. Add the ones that reflect work you have genuinely done and describe it the way the market searches for it. Adding skills you do not have gets found out in the first technical screen, and recruiters remember.

Hiring rather than job hunting?

Frequently asked questions

Is the resume checker really free?

Yes. Upload a resume, paste a job description, and you get the match score, the strengths, the gaps and the keyword breakdown without signing up or paying. We only ask for your contact details if you want us to send back a version of your resume tailored to that requirement.

How does the resume match score work?

Your resume is read as text and compared against the requirement you paste in on two levels: an overall assessment of how well your experience fits the role, and a keyword pass that lists which terms from the requirement already appear in your resume and which are missing. The score is a 0-100 summary of that comparison — above 70 is a strong match, 45 to 69 partial, below 45 weak.

Why do missing keywords matter?

Most staffing firms and employers filter applications by keyword before a person reads them, so a resume that never uses the wording in the job description can be screened out even when the underlying experience is a good fit. The point is not to add skills you do not have — it is to make sure the ones you do have are described in the words the screener is searching for.

What happens to my resume?

Your resume is stored securely with Sapta Global so our recruiting team can match you against open roles. We do not sell your details or pass them to third parties. If you would like your resume removed, email us and we will delete it.

Which file formats work?

PDF and DOCX, up to 2 MB. A DOCX gets you more: we can write the missing keywords into the document and hand the file straight back. For a PDF we can still analyse it, but the tailored version comes back from our team rather than as an instant download. Scanned or image-only PDFs have no readable text, so upload a DOCX instead.
