Jobscan is an AI-powered resume optimisation tool that compares your resume against a specific job description and gives you a match score — telling you exactly how well your resume aligns with what the employer's ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is looking for.
Most large companies use ATS software to filter resumes before a human ever reads them. Jobscan reverse-engineers how these systems work, then tells you which keywords you're missing, which skills to add and how to reformat your resume to get past the filters.
Beyond ATS scanning, Jobscan also offers LinkedIn profile optimisation, cover letter scanning, job tracker and a resume builder — making it a comprehensive career toolkit for active job seekers.

How Jobscan Works
Step 1 — Paste your resume. Copy your resume text into Jobscan's scanner. You can paste plain text or upload a Word or PDF file.
Step 2 — Paste the job description. Copy the full job description from LinkedIn, Indeed or any job board and paste it into the second box.
Step 3 — Get your match score. Jobscan's AI instantly calculates a match percentage and breaks down exactly which keywords you're missing, which skills to add and how to reformat sections to improve your score.
Step 4 — Optimise and resubmit. Update your resume based on Jobscan's suggestions, rescan to confirm your score improved, then submit your application with confidence.
Most users find that improving their Jobscan score from below 50% to above 80% significantly increases their callback rate from employers using ATS software.
