Job match score

See how your skills line up against a specific advert, and which of the employer's own terms are missing from your application. Everything runs in your browser.

The requirements and responsibilities sections are the useful part.

Comma separated. Only list what you could defend in an interview.

Paste a job advert and list your skills to see the match.

How to read your score

This tool compares the words you used against the words the employer used. That sounds crude, and it is deliberate: it is roughly what a recruiter searching an applicant tracking system does, so it shows you the same blind spots they would hit.

A low score does not mean you cannot do the job. More often it means you and the employer describe the same work differently — you wrote “customer invoicing” and they wrote “accounts receivable”. Adopting their vocabulary, where it is honestly true of you, is the single fastest improvement you can make to an application.

What the score is not

  • It is not a prediction of whether you will be hired. Interviews assess judgement and collaboration, which no keyword comparison can see.
  • It does not weight requirements. An advert's first requirement usually matters far more than its eighth.
  • It cannot tell whether you meet a hard gate — a licence, a registration, the right to work. Check those yourself before applying.

A useful benchmark: if you match around 70% of the essential requirements, apply. Very few candidates match every line of a job advert, and employers do not expect them to.

Next steps: build the CV around your matched skills, then use the cover letter builder to turn your strongest match into a specific example.
