You’ve probably heard the job search phrase, “Beat the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).” Jobscan helps you do just that by comparing your résumé to the job description. But it’s more than a keyword checker—it’s a complete job search toolkit that helps you get noticed by employers.
Here’s how Jobscan can take you from “applicant” to “interviewee.”
1. Get ATS-Specific Insights
Jobscan’s algorithm works like the big ATS systems companies use (e.g., Taleo and iCIMS):
- Enhance your résumé: Jobscan scores your résumé based on what recruiters care about most: hard skills first, then education, job titles, and soft skills.
- Match keywords exactly: ATS looks for precise wording. If the job posting says “project management” but your résumé says, “managed projects,” the system might not recognize the match.
- Identify the ATS: Paste a job posting URL, and Jobscan can often tell you which system the company uses and how to best format your résumé for it.
2. Improve Your Whole Professional Brand
Job searching isn’t just about your résumé. Jobscan helps you improve your other key artifacts, too:
- Optimize your LinkedIn profile: Scan your profile against your target jobs and receive tips for improvement. Aim for 80% or higher to appear in more recruiter searches.
- Generate AI-powered cover letters: Jobscan can draft a cover letter based on a job description in seconds. Then, you can personalize it with your own experiences.
3. Track Applications and Maximize Your Match
Jobscan’s Job Tracker helps you stay organized and get the most out of your job search:
- Centralize your applications: Keep all your job applications in one dashboard so you can see which jobs you’ve applied to, track their status, and plan next steps.
- Save jobs directly from boards: With Jobscan’s Chrome extension, you can save jobs from LinkedIn, Handshake, and other boards directly to the Job Tracker, automatically capturing all the details.
