What the matcher does
A useful second look before you press submit.
A generic CV makes the reader work to connect your background with the role. This matcher starts with one real job and gives you a short, explainable comparison—not a black-box verdict.
Compare exact, readable evidence
It checks whether that language is present in your pasted CV. You see every matched and missing term behind the percentage.
Make only truthful changes
Treat a missing term as a question, not an instruction. Add it only when your real experience supports it.
Use the result well
Do not chase 100%.
Start with missing terms that genuinely describe your work. Put them inside specific evidence: what you did, the scope, who it helped and what changed.
- Prioritise required skills over generic adjectives.
- Use the employer’s familiar term when it remains accurate.
- Show proof in experience bullets, not only a skills list.
- Read the final CV as a person, not a search engine.
Check the foundations too

CV–Job Keyword Match FAQ
Is this CV–job keyword matcher free?
Yes. You can compare a pasted CV with a job description without creating an account. The analysis runs in your browser and CVExpert does not upload or save the text you paste here.
Can this tool tell me whether I will pass an ATS?
No tool can know every employer's screening rules. This checker gives you a transparent estimate of exact language alignment. It is not an employer score or a promise that you will be shortlisted.
Should I add every missing keyword to my CV?
Only when the term accurately describes your experience. A credible bullet that shows how you used a skill is more useful than a stuffed list of unsupported keywords.
Does the keyword matcher use AI?
No. It uses a transparent, deterministic comparison in your browser. You can see the matched and missing terms behind the percentage.
