What you get

This is designed as a useful diagnostic, not a thin signup screen. You should walk away with a clearer decision even before you see the full JobLobster app.

Inputs

  • Resume (PDF, DOCX, or pasted text)
  • Job posting (URL or pasted text)

Output

  • Overall keyword-coverage score (0–10) plus raw match percentage
  • Matched must-haves with the resume context where each appears
  • Missing must-haves ranked by importance (high vs medium)
  • Specific keywords to add — exact terms, not vague themes
  • Where to place each addition (section/role) and why

Sample keyword scorecard

ATS keyword pass-through is necessary but not sufficient — it gates whether a human sees the resume. Cover the must-haves first.

FAQ

A few straight answers.

Is this just word-counting?

No — it judges whether the resume has evidence of the keyword (context check), not just the literal token. "Python scripting" partially covers a "5+ years Python" requirement; "wrote 4 years of Python data pipelines" fully covers it.

How is this different from the Resume vs Job Score?

The full Resume vs Job Score is a holistic fit view (must-haves coverage, dealbreakers, application angle, score ceiling). This tool is the focused keyword-only view your ATS sees first. Use this if you suspect your resume isn't making it past the auto-screen.

Is this on joblobster.ai or app.joblobster.ai?

This page lives on joblobster.ai. When you start, we send you into the app with this free tool already selected so you do not have to hunt for it.

What happens after I request it?

You join early access with this free tool as the entry point. The goal is to give you a useful first report, then let you decide whether to continue into the full workflow.
