Smart Match: see in 5 seconds if your resume fits the job

Paste a job posting and Smart Match puts it next to your resume. For free you see your match score and how many skills and keywords are missing. With Pro you see exactly which ones and know what to change before you apply. So you only send your resume once it's ready for this role.

How Smart Match works

From job posting to concrete fixes in three steps.

What your match score tells you

The score shows how much of what the employer asks for shows up in your resume: skills, experience, education and the words the posting uses to describe them. A low score doesn't mean you're not a fit. Often you have the experience, but it isn't written in the words the employer and their software are looking for.

That's why you see next to the score how many skills and keywords are missing. With Pro you get the list of concrete points: which skills the posting names that you don't mention, which experience to bring forward and which keywords the software is likely searching for.

What you change next

With the result you adjust your resume where it counts, without rewriting everything:

Choose smarter where you apply

Applying takes time. With a match score per job you see up front where your chances are best, and where your resume needs work first. That way you spend your evenings on the jobs that matter.

Every match is added to your applications, together with the job's deadline. You always see which resume you sent and how well it fit.

From match to cover letter

When the match is good, the next step is ready. From the same posting, Resumate writes a cover letter in about 30 seconds that speaks to what the employer is looking for. Your resume and your letter then tell the same story.

What does Smart Match do exactly?

Smart Match compares your resume with a job posting. For free you get your match score and how many skills and keywords are missing. With Pro you see exactly which ones, such as skills the posting asks for that aren't in your resume, with concrete tips.

Can I paste a link to the job posting?

Yes. Paste the link or the text. With a link, Smart Match pulls in the role, the company and the deadline, and also checks whether the job is still open.

How often can I use Smart Match?

You can try Smart Match three times without paying. With Pro you match every job you want to apply for.

Does a low score mean I shouldn't apply?

Not necessarily. Often you have the experience, but it's written in different words. Adjust your resume with the tips and scan again to see right away whether your score goes up.

Does Smart Match work for Dutch job postings too?

Yes. Smart Match works for job postings in English and in Dutch.
