AI CV and Job Description Matcher

Compare your CV with a job description: an explainable match score, missing skills and keywords, honest rewrites and a PDF report.

Each AI request uses exports according to how much text it reads and writes. You see the most it can use before you start, and you pay only for what’s actually used; copying and downloading the answer are included.

Compare your CV with a job description

The AI CV and Job Description Matcher compares your CV with a specific job, shows which requirements you clearly meet, partly meet or don’t show yet, and gives honest, practical ways to improve your CV for that role, without ever suggesting skills or experience you don’t have.

How it works

  1. Add your CVUpload a PDF or Word (.docx) CV, or paste the text, then check what was read.
  2. Paste the job descriptionAdd the job title, employer, seniority and industry if you like.
  3. See your matchA score from 0 to 100 with a breakdown by essential requirements, experience, qualifications, preferred skills and tools.
  4. Improve and downloadA prioritised action plan, honest rewrites, summary options and bullet improvements, then a PDF or text report.

An explainable score

The AI lists the job’s real requirements (not every word in the advert) and marks each one as a strong, partial, uncertain or missing match, quoting the evidence it found in your CV. The score is then calculated with fixed weights: essential requirements count most, followed by experience and qualifications, then preferred skills and tools. It estimates how well your CV shows what this job asks for; it isn’t a prediction of whether you’ll be interviewed, and it isn’t an “ATS score”.

  • Missing keywords

    Important terms from the job that your CV doesn’t show, whether you may already have the evidence in other words, and what to do.

  • Honest rewrites

    Clearer, stronger wording for what you’ve already done, with placeholders like [add verified result] instead of made-up numbers.

  • Summary options

    Concise, achievement-focused, graduate and career-change versions of a professional summary for this role.

  • Readability checks

    Free checks for contact details, clear section headings, length, long paragraphs, bullet points, date styles and layouts that can confuse screening software.

  • Fair and job-related

    Only skills, experience, qualifications and evidence are assessed, never age, gender, ethnicity, health or other personal traits.

  • Reports

    Download a PDF or text report, or save an analysis in your browser to compare after you update your CV.

Price and privacy

This AI tool needs a free account and is paid from bought exports or the Monthly 50 allowance (not Unlimited or free welcome credits), because every request costs us an AI fee. A request usually uses 1 export: before it runs, the most it can use is checked, and you then pay only for what the AI actually read and wrote. Failed requests cost nothing, and copying and downloading the results are included. See pricing. CV files are read in your browser; the CV text and job description go to our server and to Anthropic’s Claude only for the analysis, and nothing is stored on our server or used to train AI.

Questions about this tool

Is the AI CV and Job Description Matcher free?

It’s paid per AI request: each request uses exports according to how much text the AI reads and writes, usually 1 export. You see the most a request can use before it runs and pay only for what it actually used; failed requests cost nothing, and copying and downloading the results are included. AI requests are paid from bought exports (from £1.00 for 5) or the Monthly 50 allowance.

How is the match score calculated?

The AI lists the job’s requirements and marks each as a strong (100%), partial (50%), uncertain (25%) or missing (0%) match, quoting the evidence from your CV. Each requirement is weighted by type (essential 3, experience 2, qualifications 2, preferred skills 1.5, tools 1.5) and the score is the weighted average. It shows how well your CV evidences this job; it doesn’t predict whether you’ll be hired.

Is this an ATS score?

No. Applicant tracking systems all work differently, and no tool can promise how one will rank a CV. The free readability checks point out things that commonly cause problems, such as missing headings or column layouts, but they’re guidelines.

Will it tell me to add skills I don’t have?

No. It only recommends wording for experience you’ve really got, and where a result or number would help it uses a placeholder like [add verified result] for you to fill in truthfully. If you lack a requirement, it says so.

Which CV files can I upload?

PDF and Word .docx files up to 10 MB, read in your browser. Scanned image-only PDFs can’t be read; paste the text instead. Always check the text that was read before analysing.

Is my CV stored?

No. The CV text goes to our server and Anthropic’s Claude only for the analysis and isn’t stored or used to train AI. You can choose to save an analysis in your own browser and delete it at any time.

How much does it cost?

An analysis usually uses 1 export, as do summary options and each bullet improvement. The most a request can use is checked first and failed requests cost nothing. The readability checks are free.

Is my information uploaded?

What you enter is sent to our server to do the lookup, and the result may be cached briefly so the tool stays fast. Nothing else from your device is uploaded.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
