What exactly is being checked? Can you rate my resume?

Jobscan's resume scanner analyzes your resume against proven recruiter preferences and hidden requirements buried in the job description. It compares hard skills, soft skills, and industry buzzwords from the job listing to your resume.

When your resume is scanned, you're given a match rate. Your match rate is based on these four priorities, in order:

• Hard skills

• Education level (only when an advanced degree is included in the job description)

• Job title

• Soft skills

• Other keywords

Resume word count and measurable results are not factored into the match rate.

For more specialized tips, fill out your Jobscan profile. When signed in, it is located in the drop-down menu at the top right and allows you to provide Jobscan with information, including your industry and where you are in the job search process. With a complete profile, Jobscan’s suggestions become more targeted to you personally when your profile is complete.
