How does it pick the keywords?

It reads the job description, strips out common filler words, and takes the most frequent remaining terms as the keywords that matter. It then checks which of those appear in your resume and reports the match rate.

Will a higher match guarantee I pass the ATS?

No. Applicant tracking systems vary, and relevance is about more than word overlap. Treat the match as a prompt to make sure the genuinely relevant terms from the posting appear in your resume — never as a target to game.

Is my resume or the job description uploaded?

No. Both stay in your browser; the comparison is done entirely on your device.

Speak the job's language

Many applications are first read by software that scans for terms from the job description. This checker pulls the key terms out of a posting and shows which ones your resume already uses and which are missing, so you can align your wording with the role you actually want.

Match honestly, on your device

The goal is to surface relevant terms you genuinely qualify for but forgot to mention — not to stuff your resume with keywords. Add only what is true. Both documents stay in your browser, so nothing about your application is uploaded.
