Job Description Matcher

Are you the candidate this post is asking for?

Every job description is a checklist in disguise. The matcher reads the post the way screening software does — pulling out the skills and keywords that matter — then shows you what your résumé already covers and what it's missing. It's for anyone tailoring an application: new grads sizing up a stretch role, professionals deciding if a posting is worth the time, and career changers checking how far the bridge really is.

How it works

From paste to match in three steps.

Paste both sides

Drop your résumé in one box and the full job post in the other. The whole description works best — requirements, responsibilities, and the "nice to haves" all carry signal.

We read the post like the software does

The matcher extracts the meaningful skills and keywords from the job description and weights the ones that read as required, then checks your résumé against every one — all in your browser.

See your score and your gap

You get a match score out of 100, the terms you already cover, and the ones you're missing — so you can honestly decide what to add before you hit submit.

FAQ

About the Job Description Matcher.

Entirely in your browser, using transparent, illustrative heuristics. The tool extracts the meaningful keywords and skills from the job post, weights the ones that appear most often or read as required, then checks how many your résumé already covers. That coverage becomes a match score out of 100. It's directional, not a guarantee — and nothing is uploaded or stored.

There's no magic cutoff, but most strong applications cover the majority of a posting's must-have keywords. The tool shows you exactly which terms you already match and which are missing, so you can decide what to add honestly rather than chasing a single number.

No. Keyword stuffing reads as spam to both screening software and recruiters. Only add terms that are genuinely true of your experience, and weave them into real accomplishments. The matcher points you to the gaps; you decide which are honest to close.

No. The tool runs locally in your browser. Your résumé and the job post are never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere — refresh the page and the text is gone.

The match is the free taste. Start a free 48-hour trial and a dedicated Marqee strategist will tailor your résumé to each posting, run recruiter outreach, and submit your applications for you — so you stop applying and start interviewing.
