Resume keyword scanner
See which job keywords your resume is missing
Paste the job description with your resume. Ergent lists the skills and tools the job asks for, marks the ones your resume already shows, and suggests where a missing one belongs — if it’s true for you.

Why it matters
Recruiters search an ATS with the words in the job description. If your resume says the same thing in different words — or doesn’t mention a tool you used — you may not show up in that search. Seeing the gap job by job tells you what to add, and where, without stuffing your resume.
Matching that reads like a person
- Recognises different forms of the same word, and “&” written as “and”
- Tells you when a keyword appears only as separate words, so you can use the phrase as written
- In the job analyzer, must-have skills are kept apart from nice-to-haves
Where each keyword belongs
In the resume builder, each missing keyword comes with a suggested place — your skills list, your summary, or a specific role’s bullets — and a prompt asking you to confirm it’s true before adding it.
What it won’t do
It won’t paste keywords into your resume to game a filter. Keywords you don’t have stay missing; the honest fix is to show the related work you do have.

Why Ergent
- AI that sticks to your factsRewrites and letters work from your resume. Claims it can’t find there are flagged, and missing details become [prompts] for you — not invented numbers.
- Scores that explain themselvesEvery score comes with the reasons, the parsed text and ranked fixes. No percentiles or “better than 87% of applicants”.
- 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.
Questions
- Where should keywords go on my resume?
- Where they’re true and where a recruiter would look: a tool in the bullet where you used it, a skill in your skills list, the role’s main focus in your summary. A keyword only in a skills list is weaker than one shown in use.
- How many keywords should I match?
- There’s no magic number. Cover the must-haves you genuinely have, in the places a recruiter would look for them, and don’t add ones you can’t talk about in an interview.
- Can I scan without a job description?
- Yes, but the check is then general ATS readiness rather than a match. Keyword results need a job description.
- Is it free?
- 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.
