Jobscan reverse-engineers applicant tracking systems, telling you exactly why a resume gets filtered out.
Jobscan compares your resume against a job description and reports a match rate with specific fixes: missing keywords, skills gaps, formatting issues, and searchability problems. Beyond resume scanning, it offers a LinkedIn optimization tool, a job tracker, and Power Edit, which lets you tailor your resume inside the browser while the match rate updates live. The company publishes ongoing ATS research, so its checks track how real screening software behaves.
Jobscan publishes an ongoing tracker of ATS platforms and their behaviors, which feeds directly into the scanner’s checks. When a major screening vendor changes how it parses dates, headers, or section titles, those findings appear in scan reports and the company’s job search guides.
The tool is opinionated in a useful way: it tells you which fixes matter most, so you spend effort where screening software actually looks. Many users pair Jobscan scans with other builders, using it as the validation step before submitting anywhere.
