## What it pulls out

Job descriptions bury their real requirements in paragraphs of company boilerplate. This strips that away and leaves the parts a keyword matcher, and a recruiter, will look for.

- **Tools and technologies**: Named software, languages, platforms, and services. These are matched the most literally of anything on your resume, so spell them exactly the way the posting does. If it says PostgreSQL, do not write Postgres.
- **Methods and domain skills**: The practices and disciplines behind the tools: Agile, SEO, forecasting, UX research, financial modelling. These belong inside your experience bullets as things you did, not in a list.
- **Soft skills**: Communication, leadership, ownership, and the rest. Worth knowing about, but do not copy them onto your resume as a list. Show them with an example instead, because everybody claims them and nobody proves them.
- **Repetition count**: A skill mentioned four times matters more than one mentioned once. The count next to each skill tells you where the posting is putting its weight, which is a better guide to what to lead with than the order the requirements are written in.
- **Hard requirements**: Years of experience, degree level, seniority, and whether the role is remote, hybrid, or on-site. These are the filters most likely to be applied before a human ever opens your application.
- **A copyable list**: One button copies every extracted skill as plain text, so you can paste it beside your resume while you edit and work through the gaps one at a time.

## How to use what it finds

1. **Extract, then compare** Read the list against your current resume and mark anything you genuinely have but have not mentioned. Those are the cheapest wins available to you.
2. **Match their wording** Where you already have a skill, use the posting's exact term for it. Keyword matching is literal, and a synonym often scores as a miss.
3. **Never claim what you lack** Gaps are information, not instructions. Address a missing skill honestly in your cover letter rather than adding it to your resume and meeting it for the first time in the interview.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should I copy every extracted skill onto my resume?

No. Add the ones you genuinely have, using the posting's wording. Copying a list you cannot back up produces a resume that passes the filter and then falls apart in the first interview, which wastes your time more than a rejection would.

### Why did it miss a skill I can see in the posting?

It recognises a fixed vocabulary of common tools, methods, and soft skills. Very new technologies, internal product names, and highly specialised domain terms will not be in it. Treat the output as a strong starting point rather than a complete inventory.

### Does this use AI?

No. It matches the text against a known vocabulary, so the same posting always gives the same result and nothing is guessed. Job Match inside Resumeon is the AI feature that reads your resume against a specific posting in context.

### Is the job description sent anywhere?

No. The matching runs in your browser. The posting never reaches our servers and nothing is stored once you close the tab.

### What does the number next to a skill mean?

How many times that term appears in the posting. Repetition is the clearest signal of priority a job description gives you, so a skill listed three or four times is worth leading with.

### Does matching keywords guarantee an interview?

No. Keywords decide whether your resume is surfaced and read. What happens next depends on whether your actual experience fits, which is a judgment a person makes.
