How SkillSyncer helps you get more interviews

You are qualified. Your resume is written in your words, and the posting is written in theirs, so a filter drops it before a person ever sees it.

That is a wording problem, not a qualifications problem, and it is the one SkillSyncer solves. We show you the exact skills and keywords a job description asks for, mark which ones your resume already covers, and help you write the rest into your own experience.

What a scan actually does

You give us a job posting and a resume. We read the posting and pull out every skill and keyword it asks for, sorted into hard skills, soft skills, and other keywords, and we count how often each one comes up, because a term the employer repeats is a term the employer cares about. Then we look for those same terms in your resume.

What comes back is a match score out of 100, a list of what is missing, and a set of checks on how your resume reads to an applicant tracking system.

The scan runs while you wait and typically takes a few seconds. There is no queue, nothing to poll, and nothing emailed to you later. By the time the report loads, the result is already on it.

It scores you against one posting, not in general

Only keywords the job description actually contains ever reach your report, so a skill on your resume that this posting never mentions is not counted against you. That is deliberate, because a general resume grade would tell you nothing about the one employer you are writing to today.

Frequency matters too. A term the posting repeats 4 times is what the role is really about, so your report shows you how often each keyword was asked for and you can close the gaps that carry the most weight first.

Aim for 80

We suggest getting to 80 or above before you apply. Your score is 100 points split 5 ways: hard skills 60, soft skills 15, other keywords 5, job title 10, and degree 10. Hard skills carry most of the weight, so that is where the points are, while the job title is worth 10 for the small effort of matching it to the posting.

Because scanning is instant, you can watch the number respond to a change rather than guessing whether an edit helped. See How your match score is calculated and What match score should I aim for?.

Then you fix it, in your own words

The report names the missing keywords and points at the exact lines that need work: contact details that did not parse, verbs that describe presence rather than impact, bullets with no numbers in them.

You can fix all of it by hand. The AI tools are there if you want them, and nothing they suggest is applied until you accept it, one suggestion at a time. That review step matters more than it sounds, because a resume written unsupervised will happily claim things you cannot speak to in an interview.

Tailoring every application is the whole point

One resume sent to 40 jobs is the thing that gets filtered. A resume tailored to each posting is the advice nobody follows, because historically it cost an evening per application.

A scan takes seconds, so tailoring stops being an evening's work and becomes a short task you do before you press send. Every scan also keeps a copy of the resume you sent, so months later you can still see which version went where and what it scored.

Free accounts get 2 scan credits a week, unused credits roll over, and the balance caps at 10. Premium accounts scan without a limit.

Start here

The fastest way to understand any of this is to run one scan and read the report. Get your first match score in seconds.

The longer version

How resume scanning works walks through what an applicant tracking system does to your resume, and why matching against one posting at a time beats sending the same resume everywhere.
