How does the resume keyword analyzer work?

The keyword analyzer compares your resume text against a job description and lists matching keywords, missing keywords and keyword frequency. It uses deterministic matching code, not an AI model.

What keyword match percentage should I aim for?

There is no magic number. A higher match means more of the job description's keywords appear in your resume; add missing keywords only where they describe skills or experience you really have, and avoid keyword stuffing.

Is the CVPosh keyword analyzer free?

Yes. The keyword analyzer is free to use without an account. Your text is sent to our server for matching and is not saved to our database.

Why Keyword Matching Matters

ATS Screening: Employers' systems may search or sort applications by keywords, so it helps to know which ones you are missing
Relevance: Shows you have the exact skills the employer wants
Ranking: Some systems rank by keyword match; this tool cannot tell how a specific employer's system does

Best Practices

Use the missing-keyword list as a checklist, not a target score
