How does this ATS Keyword Scanner work?

The scanner tokenizes the job description and your resume text, extracts hard skills, tools, cloud architectures, certifications, and action verbs, and computes a direct frequency-weighted keyword match percentage.

Is my resume data stored or sent to external servers?

No. This free scanner runs 100% locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. None of your resume or job text is stored or transmitted.

What is a good ATS keyword match score?

A match score of 75% to 85% is optimal. Scores below 60% often result in automated rejection by Workday or Greenhouse filters, while scores above 95% can look artificially stuffed.

Frequently Asked Questions About ATS Keyword Matching

How do Applicant Tracking Systems like Workday and Greenhouse parse keywords?

Modern ATS platforms extract text from PDF/DOCX resumes, normalize tokens (e.g., converting "CI/CD" and "Continuous Integration" into canonical skill tags), and rank applicants by comparing their resume keyword frequency against the recruiter's requisition criteria.

What is a passing ATS match score?

Most enterprise ATS filters look for a 75% to 85% keyword alignment score. Scores below 60% often trigger auto-rejection rules before a human recruiter ever sees the application.

Is keyword stuffing penalized by ATS algorithms?

Yes. Legacy tricks like invisible white text or random keyword lists trigger spam heuristics in modern systems like Workday 2026 and Greenhouse. Skills must be integrated naturally inside achievement bullet points with quantifiable impact.

How does TalentRuby help beyond simple keyword scanning?
