FREE ATS KEYWORD CHECKER

Find covered and missing resume keywords from a real job description

Paste a job description to identify relevant terms, see which ones are already on your resume and review missing terms without turning the resume into a keyword-stuffed list.

Quick answer

An ATS keyword checker looks for important job-description terms and compares them with your resume. ResumeMakery reports covered and missing terms and can also highlight matched skills that appear only in the Skills list without supporting evidence elsewhere. Missing terms are suggestions to review, not instructions to add claims you cannot support.

Extract role-specific terms

The checker looks for relevant skills, tools and multi-word terms from the job description rather than treating every common word as an important keyword.

Review missing terms safely

A missing term is useful only if it reflects something you actually know or have done. ResumeMakery explicitly tells users not to invent skills, metrics or experience.

Move from keyword to evidence

When a skill is present only in the Skills section, add a real example in a project or work bullet if you genuinely used it. Evidence is more credible than repetition.

How it works

  1. Paste the responsibilities and requirements from the target job.
  2. Review covered and missing terms instead of chasing only a percentage.
  3. Add truthful context in projects, achievements or experience and re-check.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an ATS keyword?

Common examples include tools, technologies, certifications, methods, role-specific skills and some multi-word competencies explicitly present in a job description.

Should I repeat keywords many times?

No. Repetition without useful evidence can make a resume harder to read. Use accurate terminology naturally where it belongs.

Why does ResumeMakery flag a skill that is already in my Skills section?

It may be flagging an evidence gap, not a missing keyword. The skill can be present while still lacking a project, summary or experience example that shows where you used it.

Does the checker upload my job description?

The ATS matching workflow is designed to run on-device in the current product; the pasted job description is used for the local comparison and stored per resume in browser storage for convenience.
