GradVix

Resume & Job Description Match

Compare your resume with a target job description to identify matching skills, missing requirements, important terminology and areas that may need stronger evidence.

GradVix provides an independent comparison of the resume and job description you provide. It does not represent an employer's hiring decision or a proprietary ATS score.

Your resume

Upload your existing resume. We extract the text from the PDF and compare that text — DOCX is not parsed, so copy the text and paste it below instead.

Privacy-first analysis

We do not sell your personal data. Resume information is handled according to our Privacy Policy. Read the Privacy Policy.

Target job description

Use the role title you are applying for, such as Data Analyst, Software Engineer or HR Executive.

Paste the full job description whenever possible. More complete requirements usually produce a more useful comparison.0 / 10,000

How to read your match score

80–100 — Strong alignment

Many important requirements appear represented. Review the remaining gaps and make sure your claims are supported by your experience.

60–79 — Moderate alignment

Your resume reflects several requirements, but some important skills or evidence may need strengthening.

Below 60 — Significant gaps

Review the role requirements carefully and focus on relevant skills, experience and terminology you can honestly support.

These ranges describe how GradVix presents a result. They are not employer thresholds.

Use the results honestly

Only add skills, tools and experience you genuinely have. Use the missing list to spot real gaps and to describe work you have actually done more clearly — not to copy terms into your resume.

  • Add missing terminology only where it is genuinely true of your work.
  • Strengthen the evidence behind skills you already have.
  • Do not fabricate tools, employers, metrics or responsibilities.
  • Do not keyword-stuff — repeated terms make a resume harder to read.

How to use the results

Step 1

Review genuine gaps

Identify the missing requirements that are genuinely relevant to your experience, and ignore the ones that are not.

Step 2

Strengthen evidence

Rewrite vague bullets to show how you used a relevant skill and what changed as a result.

Step 3

Recheck alignment

Run the revised resume against the same job description once more before you apply — there is no need to re-score after every small edit.

Need a broader ATS-style review?

Job Description Match focuses on alignment with one specific role. The ATS Score Checker also reviews broader resume structure, skills, keywords and content gaps — and lets you save the report or download it as a PDF.
