Upload your resume, paste the job description, and see exactly where you match, where you fall short, and which keywords an applicant tracking system would be searching for.
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.
An applicant tracking system stores every applicant and lets a recruiter search them. A checker simulates that search: it reads your resume as text, reads the job description, and reports which terms from the posting already appear in your resume and which do not. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why a “score” is really a measure of overlap rather than of quality. We also run an assessment of how well your experience fits the role overall, because overlap alone would tell you to stuff keywords, which is both obvious to a reader and counterproductive.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
They are useful for one specific thing: telling you whether the words in your resume match the words in the job description. That is genuinely what most screening searches run on, so closing that gap is worth doing. What no checker can tell you is whether a recruiter will like you, whether the role is already filled internally, or whether your experience is the right depth — those decisions happen after the search. Treat a score as a check on vocabulary, not a verdict on your candidacy.
Above 70 is a strong match and worth applying to as-is. Between 45 and 69 means your experience is relevant but described in different language than the posting uses — that is the band where tailoring your wording changes outcomes most. Below 45 usually means a genuine experience gap rather than a wording one, and no amount of rewriting fixes that honestly.
Run the comparison, look at the missing keywords, and find the ones that describe work you have actually done but named differently. Rewrite those lines using the posting's vocabulary — if they say ETL and you wrote "built reporting pipelines", say both. Leave the rest alone. Tailoring is a vocabulary edit of a few lines, not a rewrite, and it should take minutes per application rather than hours.
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.
