Frequently asked questions

How does JDMatcher work?

Upload your resume (PDF, DOCX, or TXT), paste the target job description, and JDMatcher's AI instantly scores how well they match. Then tailor your resume with one click — choose conservative, balanced, or aggressive rewrite intensity.

What do Conservative, Balanced, and Aggressive tailoring mean?

They set how boldly the AI rewrites your resume toward the job. Conservative only weaves JD keywords into your own wording. Balanced rewrites summary and bullets while keeping every fact. Aggressive is a full rewrite that strengthens JD-relevant experience and compresses the rest — never adds skills you don't have. Your master resume keeps every experience — each tailored version is its own copy, so aggressive trimming never touches the original. Every mode shares the same safety line: the AI never invents employers, titles, dates, metrics, or skills — missing skills are surfaced for you to add yourself, and every change is individually accepted or rejected before it lands.

Is JDMatcher free?

Yes. JDMatcher offers a free tier with credits for AI matching, resume tailoring, and cover letter generation. Paid plans start at $14.99/month for unlimited access.

How fast is the AI resume tailoring?

JDMatcher's AI analyzes your resume against the job description and generates a fully tailored version in about 15 seconds — including rewritten bullet points, updated skills, and a targeted summary.

Are the exported resumes ATS-friendly?

Yes. All JDMatcher templates use single-column, text-based layouts that parse cleanly through Applicant Tracking Systems like Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever. Exported PDFs are optimized for both ATS parsing and human readability.
