Job compatibility analysis that tells you whether a role is worth applying to.

It is a read of one job description against your profile, returned as a score with the reasoning underneath. FirstResume splits the posting into its actual requirements, checks each one against your experience, education and skills, and tells you which are evidenced, which are thin and which are missing. You get the number and the list of things behind it, so you can decide whether the role is worth an application.

The posting is broken into hard skills, soft skills, years of experience and education, then each item is checked against what is in your profile rather than against keywords alone. A requirement counts as met when there is something in your history that evidences it. The score is a summary of those judgements, and every one of them is shown so you can disagree with it.

There is no universal cutoff, and a score is not a permission slip. Look at what is missing rather than the number: gaps in the nice-to-have list are usually worth applying through, while a missing licence, degree requirement or work authorisation rarely is. A strong match means you can write a focused application quickly, not that you are guaranteed a reply.

No. It means the application will cost you more, so decide deliberately. A low score often points at wording rather than ability, and the gap list tells you which it is. If the missing items are things you have done but never wrote down, fix your profile and run the check again. If they are things you have never done, spend the evening elsewhere.

Both. Every gap comes with what would close it: a keyword from the posting your resume never uses, an achievement that needs a number, a requirement you meet through coursework or a society role and never mentioned. From there you can send the analysis straight into a tailored resume rather than starting from a blank page.

It overlaps but goes further. An ATS checker asks whether a machine can read your file and whether the right words appear in it. Compatibility analysis asks whether you fit the role, weighing experience level, education and the requirements a parser has no opinion about. Both matter, and both run before you submit.

Under a minute for a single posting. Paste a link or run it from a job on the board, and the score, keyword split and requirement breakdown come back together. Running it across a shortlist is how most people use it: check ten roles in the time one careful application takes, then apply to the four that are worth it.

Yes. Compatibility analysis runs on every plan, and each role on the job board carries a score whichever one you are on. The free plan works within its monthly caps on searches and applications; Premium and Max lift those so you can score a whole shortlist in one sitting rather than a few roles before the limit resets.
