Toolkit ShelfText and Writing Tools
Use this resume job description match checker to build a transparent editing checklist without adding pasted text to Toolkit Shelf URLs, storage, or product analytics.
Browser-only checker
The matching logic runs locally in this tab. It does not send pasted text to Toolkit Shelf servers or include it in URLs, browser storage, or product-analytics events. Use a redacted copy: never paste Social Security numbers, birth dates, names, email addresses, phone numbers, full addresses, profile URLs, references' personal details, or confidential employer information. Each text field accepts up to 50,000 characters. Browser extensions remain outside Toolkit Shelf's control; disable any extension that reads form text before pasting sensitive material.

Details
The matching logic runs locally and does not send pasted text to Toolkit Shelf servers or include it in URLs, browser storage, or product-analytics events. Browser extensions and enhanced browser features remain outside Toolkit Shelf's control, so use a redacted copy.
Suggested terms come from short phrases and list-like wording in the pasted job description. Review every suggestion because the checker does not infer which qualifications are mandatory.
Matching ignores letter case and treats hyphens as spaces, while preserving technical punctuation. It does not expand variants: for example, C++ and C++17 remain different terms unless you select each one.
Applicant-tracking systems parse and review documents differently, and hiring workflows may include automated checks and human review. This tool does not simulate a proprietary system or predict an interview.

Benchmarks
