Resume vs job description

Check your resume against a job description

Most resume matchers count keywords. Work-ly reads each requirement in the job and looks for proof on your resume, quoting the exact line, so you know what a screener will actually see.

What the check gives you

  • Every requirement, one by one

    Each must-have and nice-to-have in the posting is marked as shown, partly shown or not shown on your resume.

  • The quote that proves it

    For each match, the line from your resume that shows it. No quote, no credit, so the result can't be padded.

  • What could screen you out

    The missing must-haves, listed first, with what would close each gap.

  • A Candidate Fit score you can trust

    Worked out from those verdicts, not from how many keywords overlap. Missing must-haves cap it.

Questions

Does it add skills I don't have?
Never. Missing skills are shown as gaps and left off tailored resumes until you can back them up.
Which jobs does it work for?
Any posting with a written description. It's strongest for professional roles where requirements are spelled out, such as data, analytics, product, engineering and operations.
