Find the keywords a job posting is really screening for
Job postings bury their real requirements. The things that matter are usually stated once in the middle, while the paragraph about company culture takes up a third of the page. This tool pulls out the concrete terms — skills, tools, certifications, and qualifications — so you can see what the posting is actually screening for.
It is also a useful reality check before applying. If you match two of fifteen extracted requirements, that tells you something worth knowing before you spend an hour tailoring. If you match twelve, the missing three are what your cover letter should address.
Paste the whole posting — requirements, responsibilities, and the nice-to-haves.
How to use the result
Compare against your own resume
Extract the terms, then check which appear in your resume in some form. The gap is your tailoring list — and for a career changer, it is a vocabulary lesson in how the target field describes work you may already do.
Notice what is repeated
A skill mentioned in the title, the summary, and the requirements is the actual job. A skill listed once at the bottom of a nice-to-have list is not worth restructuring your resume around.
Use it to decide whether to apply
Matching most of the concrete requirements is usually enough — postings routinely list more than any real candidate has. Matching almost none of them is a signal to spend your hour elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include every keyword it finds?
Only the ones that are true of you. Adding skills you do not have gets caught in the interview and is a worse outcome than not being shortlisted.
Does keyword stuffing work?
No. White text, hidden keyword blocks, and keyword lists appended to the bottom are detected by modern systems and treated as disqualifying by most employers. Work the terms into real sentences instead.
Why does it miss some requirements?
It extracts concrete, matchable terms — skills, tools, certifications. Soft requirements phrased as sentences ("comfortable with ambiguity") are real requirements but not the kind an ATS matches on, so they are for your cover letter rather than your keyword list.
