- Runs in your browser: the text you paste is never sent to our servers
- No resume needed. Test yours against the same posting afterwards
- Copy the whole posting Take everything from the job title down to the requirements and benefits. The requirements carry the hard skills, the intro often carries the tools.
- Paste it and extract The extractor recognises skills, tools, diplomas and soft skills in English and French, merges plurals and accents, and counts how often each one appears.
- Keep the ones that describe you Tick off the keywords you can back up with an experience, and write them into your resume in the posting's own words.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as an ATS resume checker?
No. This tool reads the job description alone and needs no resume. The ATS checker compares your resume with a posting and shows which of its keywords your resume is missing. Many people use this one first, then the checker.
How do I find the keywords in a job posting?
Read the posting twice: once for the named things (tools, methods, diplomas, languages), once for what is repeated or phrased as a requirement. This extractor does the first pass for you and counts the repetitions, so the terms that come back two or three times stand out.
Does it work on French job postings?
Yes. It reads French and English postings, including French diplomas and permits such as BTS, BUT, DCG, bac+2, CACES, habilitation électrique and permis B, and it treats "gestion de projet" and "gestion des projets" as the same keyword.
How many keywords should I put on my resume?
Most postings have 8 to 15 that matter. Use the ones you can prove, each in the wording of the ad, spread across your headline, summary, experience and skills. There is no target count: a keyword you can't back up does more harm than good.
Is the job description I paste stored?
No. The extraction runs in your browser; the text is not sent to our servers and nothing is saved. Refreshing the page clears it.
What are the keywords in a job description?
They are the terms a recruiter would type into an applicant tracking system to find candidates: the job title, hard skills, tools and software, degrees, certifications and licences, spoken languages and a few soft skills. They are usually in the requirements section, and the important ones are repeated.
Acronyms and words the posting repeats but we don't classify. Decide whether they matter for the role.
A skill in a list convinces nobody. The same skill inside a dated, quantified line of your experience convinces the software and the person reading it.
A keyword list is a reading aid, not a script. Recruiters search their applicant tracking system for these words, then read what surrounds them.
If the ad says "project management", write "project management", not "led projects". Keep acronyms and spell them out once: "GDPR" and "data protection".
A term mentioned three times is the core of the job. A term mentioned once may be a nice-to-have. The counts above tell you which is which.
Hidden text, pasted keyword blocks and skills you don't have get caught at the first read or the first interview. Missing a keyword costs less than claiming one you can't defend.
The ATS checker compares your resume with the same posting and lists the keywords it asks for that your resume never says.
The HiredFolio browser extension saves the posting to your job tracker in one click, so the ad is still there when you tailor your resume.
Grouped into hard skills, tools, qualifications and soft skills, each with the number of times the posting mentions it.
Most repeated first. The number is how many times the posting says it.
