Find the exact keywords getting tech resumes past ATS.

ATS systems don't read resumes — they scan for terms. If the right keywords aren't on your resume, it doesn't matter how qualified you are. I'll research your target roles manually and deliver a keyword gap analysis built specifically for you.

Who this is for

You're applying and not getting past the first filter
You want to optimize your existing resume without a full rewrite
You're not sure which keywords matter most for your target roles
You're transitioning into a new function and need to understand the language of the new role

The keyword map pairs directly with a resume rewrite. Once you know the keywords that matter, the rewrite builds them in naturally. Mention it on your intake form and I'll incorporate it into the kickoff call. See the Resume Rewrite →

ATS systems filter out most resumes before a human sees them.

Applicant tracking systems are keyword matching engines. They're looking for specific terms — skills, tools, methodologies, job titles — and if yours don't appear, your resume gets deprioritized before any human makes a judgment. The keywords that matter aren't always obvious. This service surfaces them.
