Quick answer

What does this tool do?

A resume-to-job match compares the skills, experience, titles, location, and other requirements in a job description with facts already present in your resume. AppliedToday shows the evidence it found and keeps anything unsupported out of your drafts.

Use it when

You need evidence, not a black-box score.

  • Deciding whether a role is worth the application time
  • Finding job-description language your resume already supports
  • Spotting genuine gaps before tailoring a resume
  • Preparing for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, or BambooHR forms

Matched evidence

See the resume facts that support the role instead of relying on a mystery score.

Missing requirements

Separate real gaps from wording differences so you know what needs judgment, not invention.

Next-step drafts

Carry confirmed evidence into resume bullets, a cover letter, and short application answers.

How it works

Four review-first steps.

  1. 01

    Add your resume

    Upload a PDF or DOCX, or paste text. Resume parsing stays in your browser.

  2. 02

    Paste one job description

    AppliedToday identifies the role requirements and compares them with your confirmed experience.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    Check matched and missing criteria. Correct anything that needs human context.

  4. 04

    Prepare your application

    Use only the supported evidence in the drafts you choose to copy, edit, and submit.

Example

Illustrative match review

Job asks for

Enterprise SaaS selling, technical discovery, and experience managing multi-stakeholder deals.

Resume evidence found

  • Enterprise SaaS: supported by a named enterprise account role
  • Technical discovery: supported by discovery workshops in the resume
  • Multi-stakeholder deals: needs your review because the resume does not say this directly

The example shows the review pattern, not a promise that every requirement is a match.

Final review

Check before you copy.

  • Every claimed skill appears in the resume or is confirmed by you
  • Missing requirements remain visible instead of being softened or hidden
  • Keywords fit naturally and preserve your voice
  • The final application still reflects the job post you actually read

Common questions

What job seekers ask.

Does AppliedToday give an ATS score?+

AppliedToday focuses on explainable matched and missing criteria rather than presenting an unexplained pass-or-fail number.

Will it add keywords that are not in my experience?+

No. Drafts are grounded in resume evidence and facts you confirm. Unsupported requirements stay visible for your review.

Is my resume uploaded to a server?+

No. Resume parsing happens in your browser. Raw resume files and text are not added to your cloud profile.

What happens after the match?+

You can prepare resume bullets, a cover letter, and application answers, then review and copy only the text you approve.
