Job Match Score

Understanding the Job Match Score while tailoring your Resume for Saved Jobs within Huntr.

Updated this week

The Job Match score is a tool that is available to all users, with additional keyword and match score access for Pro Plan users. Once a job has been added to the Job Tracker and a Base Resume has been created, you have the ability to compare your resume to the saved job description.

Ideally, a Job Match Score of 79-90 is best. Using the tools and suggestions from the Job Match Score Editor will allow you to tailor your resume to each job.

The Job Match Score is broken down into 5 categories to support you in making adjustments to your resume. Clicking each + drop down will display suggested changes and additions.

  1. Job Post Analysis: Provides a quick view of the job description that has been saved. This will allow you to review the description as needed to include specific details outlined in the job description.

  2. Keyword Match: A full list the saved keywords that can be used in your resume. ATS software and Recruiters will review resumes for keywords and applicable skills. This helps them determine if your experience is well suited for the role.

  3. Job Title Match: Adding the Job Title to your Resume allows ATS Software to pass the initial screening of your Resume. You will see suggested Job Titles and a score of 0 if your title does not match or reflects a similar title.

  4. Qualifications Match: For every qualification, Huntr checks if your resume includes matching phrases or relevant details. Each qualification is given a 'coverage score' based on how well your resume aligns with the job description.

  5. Responsibilities Match: Huntr will check if your resume includes matching phrases or relevant details. Each responsibility is given a 'coverage score' based on how well your resume aligns with the job description.
