Should I apply if I don’t meet every must-have?

Often, yes — job posts are wish lists. The brief shows which must-haves your resume covers so you can judge the gap and address the important ones in your resume or letter.

Do I need to add my resume?

No. Without it you get the job broken down; with it you also see which requirements you already cover.

Is the fit score accurate?

It’s an AI estimate of how well your resume lines up with the requirements, labelled as one. Use it to prioritise, not to decide whether to apply.

Yes. Every tool works on the Free plan. Without an account you get 10 AI requests an hour; a free account gets 60 an hour and saves your work. Pro only raises the limits.

Job description analyzer

Understand a job description before you apply

Job posts mix requirements, wishes and boilerplate. Paste one and Ergent pulls out what the role really asks for, highlights it in the original text, and — if you add your resume — shows which you already cover.

Why it matters

Job posts mix true requirements with wishes and boilerplate. Reading them carefully for every application takes time, and it’s easy to miss the two or three things the role really turns on. A brief of the must-haves — checked against your resume — tells you whether to apply and what to tailor.

What you get

Must-have and preferred skills, kept apart
Tools, skills and soft skills, grouped
Experience requirements and the level of the role
The job description with each requirement highlighted where it appears
With your resume: which must-haves you show, and tips for tailoring

Then act on it

From the brief, tailor a version of your resume for this job, write a cover letter, practice interview questions written from it, or save it to your job tracker — the job description goes with you, so you don’t paste it again.

Specific to each jobPaste the job description and the check, the tailoring, the letter and the interview questions are all written for that job.
Interview practice from your own resumeQuestions come from the job and your experience, and feedback points to what you could have mentioned from your resume.
One workspace, start to finishResume versions, job descriptions, letters, applications and interview prep stay connected, so you don’t paste the same things five times.
