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
  • Job posting URL or pasted job description
  • Optional: what you care about most

Output

  • 0–10 fit score with a plain-English verdict
  • Must-have, partial-match, and dealbreaker breakdown
  • Why the role can or cannot score higher
  • Three resume bullets to tailor before applying
  • A concise application angle for the recruiter screen

Sample scorecard

A high-fit role should not just “feel close” — it should survive the must-have check.

Matched must-havesFintech close, processor reconciliation, automation
Score ceilingCapped below 9.0: public-company SEC requirement is partial

FAQ

A few straight answers.

Why not just apply and see?

Because low-fit tailoring burns the exact energy you need for strong-fit roles. The scorecard helps you spend effort where it compounds.

Will this reject stretch roles?

No. Stretch is good when the missing pieces are learnable. The scorecard distinguishes stretch from hard blockers.
