Paste any job description. Our NLP engine instantly extracts every keyword ATS systems scan for — hard skills, soft skills, certifications, tools, and job title variants.
Analyse a Job Description FreeATS doesn't just count words. It looks for specific categories of keywords — and weights them differently.
Programming languages, frameworks, software tools, platforms, databases. Example: Python, React, Tableau, AWS, Salesforce.
Interpersonal and leadership competencies. Example: cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder management, mentoring.
Professional certifications and degrees. Example: PMP, CPA, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, MBA.
Different names for the same role. Example: Software Engineer vs SWE vs Developer vs Programmer.
Paste the full job description into the keyword analyzer. You'll get a categorised list of every keyword ATS is likely scanning for.
Paste your resume alongside the job description into our Gap Analysis tool. See exactly which keywords are present vs missing — and your ATS match score.
Weave missing keywords into your experience bullets. Use our AI Bullet Rewriter to do this automatically — it rewrites each bullet to include the keywords without inventing facts.
Run the gap analysis again to verify your score improved (aim for 70%+). Then check formatting compliance and export as an ATS-safe PDF.
An ATS keyword analyzer reads a job description and identifies every keyword that an Applicant Tracking System is likely to scan for when filtering resumes. This includes hard skills (Python, Excel), soft skills (leadership, collaboration), certifications (PMP, AWS Certified), tools (Jira, Salesforce), and job title variants. Knowing these keywords lets you tailor your resume to pass the automated filter.
Our engine uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) via spaCy to analyse the job description at a linguistic level — not just simple word counting. It identifies named entities, noun phrases, and domain-specific terminology to extract the keywords that matter. This catches terms that simple regex-based tools miss, like multi-word skills and abbreviation variants.
Only add keywords for skills and experience you actually have. ATS gets you past the automated filter, but the recruiter interview will verify your claims. Focus on the keywords where you have genuine experience, and weave them naturally into your bullet points rather than stuffing them into a skills section.
A job description often buries important keywords in long paragraphs, mentions the same skill under different names (e.g., 'project management' vs 'PM'), or uses industry jargon you might overlook. Our NLP engine catches all variants and presents them in a structured list, so you don't miss anything.
