Scoring against Recruiter keywords.

Your resume is analysed in memory and is not stored. Nothing is saved unless you create an account and explicitly save it.

Skills and keywords

These are the terms most consistently used to screen recruiter applications. Spell tools and certifications the way postings spell them — a screen matches the words, not the meaning.

Example bullets

Each one has blanks in brackets. Fill them with your own figures, or rewrite the line — never keep a number you cannot explain.

  • Filled N roles a quarter at an average of N days to hire.
  • Kept offer acceptance at N%.
  • Built a pipeline of N candidates for role type.

Verbs that signal ownership

Open bullets with these rather than with “responsible for” or “worked on”:
