Every job description contains signal words that the employer considers important. Some are technical skills ("Python", "AWS", "Figma"), some are domain terms ("B2B SaaS", "Series A", "agile"), and some are role-specific phrases ("cross-functional collaboration", "stakeholder management"). Applicant Tracking Systems weight these terms when scoring candidates.
The goal isn't to stuff your resume with keywords — it's to make sure the skills and experience you actually have are described using the same language the employer used. A resume that says "built distributed systems" for a role asking for "microservices architecture" may describe the same work but score differently.
How this extractor works
Paste any job description and the tool identifies the high-frequency, meaningful terms — filtering out stop words and common filler. Results are grouped by category: technical skills and tools, soft skills and attributes, and all keywords by frequency.
The frequency score (shown in parentheses) indicates how many times a term appears in the description. Higher frequency = higher likely weighting by the employer. Focus on adding missing high-frequency terms first.
How to use the extracted keywords
- —Compare the Top Skills list against what's in your resume — add any you genuinely have but haven't listed
- —Use the exact phrasing from the JD when possible, not your own preferred synonym
- —Add keywords to your summary, skills section, and bullet points — not just a keyword block at the bottom
- —For tools and tech: list them where they're relevant to a specific achievement, not just in isolation
- —Re-run this check if you significantly customize your resume for a different role type
