Job Description Keyword Extractor

The exact terms this posting is screening for.

  • Deterministic — the same document always gives the same result
  • Every finding quotes the line of your resume that triggered it
  • Parsed in memory and discarded. Never stored, never trained on

Paste the job description

Deterministic analysis. Nothing is uploaded to a model, and your document is not stored.

What this tool gives you

  • Every skill and technology keyword found, grouped by category
  • The required/preferred split for each
  • Alternatives the posting offers ("Go or Java") collapsed into one requirement
  • Certifications named in the posting

How it works

  1. Paste the job description

    Paste the full job description text. The more complete the posting, the more requirements the engine can identify and grade.

  2. The engine analyses it

    A deterministic engine reads the document and extracts the facts — structure, skills, dates, evidence. No language model is involved, so the same document always produces the same result.

  3. Read the evidence behind every result

    You get the findings with the reasoning attached: what was found, where it was found in the document, and what to change. No score arrives without an explanation.

Before you tailor a resume you need to know what you are tailoring to. This extractor gives you the posting's screening vocabulary as a plain list, so the exercise becomes checking coverage rather than rereading prose.

It also collapses alternatives the posting itself offers. "Go or Java" is one requirement you can satisfy either way, and treating it as two is how candidates conclude they are unqualified for roles they are qualified for.

For recruiters writing postings, the list is a sanity check: if a keyword you consider essential is absent from it, it is absent from your posting too.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use these keywords on my resume?
Check each one against your actual experience. Where you have done the work but used different words, adopt the posting's terminology — that is accuracy. Where you have not done the work, leave it out. A keyword you cannot discuss costs you the interview instead of the screen.
What does it mean when two keywords are joined by "or"?
The posting stated them as interchangeable, so satisfying either satisfies the requirement. They are shown as a single entry for that reason. "Docker and Kubernetes", by contrast, genuinely asks for both and stays as two.
Why does a short posting produce so few keywords?
Because only named, checkable skills are extracted — nothing is inferred. A posting that never names its stack genuinely has not told you what it wants, and inventing plausible requirements would tell you about our guesses rather than about the job.
