Resume Keyword Scanner
See the exact keywords a job description asks for and which ones your resume is missing. Get a side-by-side gap report and AI bullet rewrites that add missing terms naturally — without keyword stuffing.
TL;DR
A resume keyword scanner compares your resume to a job description and lists the terms you are missing. Resumity’s is free and no-sign-up: it shows technical, soft, and ATS-search keywords separately, then rewrites weak bullets to include the missing ones — each edit shown as a diff you approve, so you never stuff keywords or invent skills.

How to scan your resume for missing keywords
Find and close your keyword gaps for a specific job in a few minutes.
- 1
Add your resume and the target job description
Paste both into the scanner. It reads the job posting and extracts the keywords the employer actually asks for.
- 2
Read the keyword gap report
Missing terms are grouped into technical skills, soft skills, and ATS search terms, so you know exactly what is absent versus what you already have.
- 3
Pick the gaps you can honestly close
Only add keywords that match your real experience. The scanner flags stuffing risk when terms appear without supporting context.
- 4
Approve AI rewrites that fold keywords in
For each weak bullet, the AI proposes a rewrite that naturally includes a missing keyword. You review the diff and accept or reject — never auto-applied, never fabricated.
- 5
Re-scan to confirm the gaps closed
Run the scanner again to confirm the missing-keyword list shrank and your match score rose for that role.
Frequently asked questions
Is keyword scanning different from an ATS check?
Related but distinct. An ATS check scores overall parseability and match; a keyword scanner zooms in on the specific terms a job description asks for that your resume lacks. Resumity runs both in one pass.
Does keyword matching mean keyword stuffing?
No, and stuffing hurts you. The scanner flags terms that appear without supporting context. The AI rewrites add missing keywords by connecting them to your real accomplishments, shown as a diff you approve — so keywords are earned, not pasted in.
Can I scan for a specific job?
Yes. The scanner is job-specific: paste the job description and it returns the keyword gaps for that role. Re-scan for each job you apply to, since required terms differ.
Is the keyword scanner free?
Yes — free and no sign-up. Paste your resume and job description to get the gap report and AI rewrites immediately. Pro adds more monthly AI credits and unlimited tailored versions; exports are never watermarked.
