Resume Keyword Checker FAQ
What keywords does the checker look for?
We analyze four categories: action verbs (achieved, led, managed), technical skills (Python, SQL, AWS), soft skills (leadership, communication), and quantified metrics (increased by X%, managed Y people). These are the keywords ATS systems prioritize.
Why do keywords matter for ATS?
ATS systems rank resumes based on keyword matches with the job description. If your resume lacks the right keywords — even if you're qualified — it may be automatically rejected before a human ever sees it.
How is this different from a full resume score?
The keyword checker focuses specifically on keyword coverage and gaps. A full resume score at Resume Scorer includes keyword analysis plus formatting, ATS compatibility, content quality, and actionable improvement tips.
Is my resume data stored?
No. Your resume text is analyzed in real-time and never stored on our servers. The analysis happens entirely in your browser session.
