Previous to using JobScan I had no replies to applications.
Once I started to use JobScan I was contacted and was interviewed and got the job I wanted.
I recommend JobScan to all applicants - you will see the difference.

I applied for jobs with my resume and was not getting any responses back from potential employers. After I read on LinkedIn about how many companies were using computer programs to sort through applications based upon keywords in the job description, l went on to jobscan and started using their service.

Almost every application that I sent in using Jobscan, I got an interview. Within a few weeks I had my choice of jobs. I highly recommend using Jobscan services to assist you in finding your next careeer.

Jobscan took the guess work out of my resume. It tells you which hard skills and soft skills you forgot to list/didn t think to list/didn t even realize you had. My resume is now something I m proud of and I now better understand how applicant tracking systems work. Thank you jobscan! I will recommend you to everyone I know looking to get hired.

A company approached me with a report after scanning my resume the score was 67%.
I paid to havee them reformat and in theory put in keywords so that I would increase may job search result. I asked them to rescan it, but they would not.
I used your tool and my resume scan did increase to 76%, but I don't think I got what I paid for from the resume company.
Jobscan has allowed me to continue to improve these results.
Your software was quick, easy, and the report was simple.
Thank you,
Sharon

I found JobScan to work much better for my thought processes than working with a resume writer. I was able to constantly adjust my resume or completely look away from a job very quickly using their tool. I do about 40 positions in the month I was using the service. I landed three sets of interviews and then got the job. Thanks JobScan!

I found this service to be simply amazing. The focused, cutting-the-fat approach to resume building and tailoring each resume to fit the job description was so incredibly helpful. The articles and recommendations were so very helpful when my confidence level was at the bottom of the barrel. I am very grateful to have found this site when I was suddenly unemployed after age 55. And yes, I would (and have) highly recommend this site to anyone who is serious about finding a job.

Jobscan was a key ingredient in my recent job search. Before Jobscan all I was hearing were crickets when I would submit a resume. After I started using Jobscan, I finally started seeing responses. Not only did it help me "play the game" with the ATS systems, but it helped me feel so much better about myself in the process. No one wants to hear crickets ;)

The world of HR and employment has changed. I am a highly skilled professional and was surprised at the difficulty I had getting responses to my CV, let alone to interview stage.

Doing my research, I soon worked out that may larger and more reputable companies don't leave candidate selection to "people" anymore. They have autobots that parse your CV to text and run it through software. If the computer doesn't see you as a match, then a person will never get to read your CV. That's the unfortunate truth.

I am so thankful that I found Jobscan. Using Jobscan, I was able to understand how to re-work my CV and applications to improve my candidacy and therefore my likelihood of finding a new job faster.

Yes, it worked! I've found a great job - well, the job actually found me - through Jobscan's help. The most significant change it today's market is how jobs and people are connected. Don't just think of Jobscan when applying for jobs. You can use it to check and improve your LinkedIn profile. Think about your skills, use Jobscan to compare your candidacy with "ideal" job ads. Then, when you have your CV refined, reflect it on LinkedIn. This is so important, as it is how employers and recruiters look for you and validate your skills through your connections.

So, don't think of Jobscan as a tool only for seeking a new job. Using it to keep your profile up to date will significantly improve your online image.

Jobscan is and essential tool for anyone how is looking for a job. They information that you get from matching your cv and the job description gives you a good idea if you have the required skills for the job, or if you are using the correct company terminology / language. Matching your cv to the job description is key to get an interview.
The process is extremely easy, fast and effective!!
Thanks Jobscan team!!

I made a successful career move recently thanks to Jobscan. I had many positive interviews and several offers to choose from. I suggest this service to anyone searching for work in today's competitive market. I made every penny back on my investment in this tool with my new job. Useful for resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profile improvement.

I love jobscan I honestly do. In anticipation of an acquisition, my employer laid off 5% of the company. This was the second time in the past 10 years that I found myself unemployed.

Ten years ago, I sent resume after resume into the black hole of HR systems. After 3 months, i was able to get a temporary position through a recruiting agency I walked into.

This time it was very different. After I was laid off from my previous employer I learned about jobscan from a fellow unemployment support group participant.

I used jobscan faithfully during my job search and they did a phenomenal job of showing me what are the keywords I needed to get into my resume so it could make it pass the HR filters, and be seen by a recruiter. I got call backs on almost 40% of the 50 applications I sent out.

This was night and day from my previous unemployment experience.

I am recommending jobscan to anyone who is considering or was forced to consider a job change. Without a doubt it was the best spent money I made make during my job search.

Jobscan opened up a whole new world for me and my partner. We have been job hunting for a while now and had not got the replies that we wanted. We were struggling to see what we were doing wrong after repeatedly changing our CV's.
My partner found job scan and everything started to make more sense. We could see what we needed to do. Since then I have been able to tailor my CV to every job that I apply for so far I have 3 interviews lined up.

Its super easy to work and there's some great tips. If only I had found this sooner.

Thank you Jobscan.

This site is a SCAM!!! They charged me $89.95 twice for a one-month free trial and don't respond to emails. All the reviews on here give it 4 or 5 stars. That is enough to be suspicious. If you need resume help I suggest looking elsewhere...anywhere else other than jobscan!

I subscribed to Jobscan during my four months of being "in transition" between jobs. It was very useful to have a tool that could take a job description, and compare it to my resume, and show me how close (or not so close!) my resume fit the qualifications, based on key words. This helped me tailor each resume closer to the requirements, so that I had a better chance of being seen via applicant tracking systems. Company recruiters also had an easier time since I was using their terminology.

I would recommend using this tool for all job seekers to help get through the ATS maze!

Using Jobscan I went from a 50% match the first time around and then after making the suggested changes, boosted my resume to a 100% match. It works....I submitted my resume to a large health care organization on a Saturday and was contacted for a phone interview on the following Tuesday! I am not sure that without it my resume would have been picked using the keyword scanning tools I assume this company used. Thanks!

Jobscan is awesome. It really helps with the job search process. Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it. Jobscan was the push I needed to get through the resume screening process.

This website is a game-changer. I was previously searching and applying for jobs for a year and a half unsuccessfully, but within 2 weeks of using Jobscan, I had an interview for my ideal position. Fantastic system and exceptional content throughout the site, I couldn't recommend it enough.

The resume scan feature is worth it well beyond the generous free trial, I paid for the tool for a few months while in my own career change search and it was very helpful to run my different resume versions through the system to make sure what I submit is as close to the role posting as possible to get past the screening systems and in front of an actual human.

I was getting some responses on my resume but after using Jobscan my response rate doubled. Jobscan helped me tweak (in just a few minutes) every resume to match the job for which I was applying.

Right now companies in the tech industry or those looking for software developers, use AI to scan resumes. The AI systems pick and choose the resumes that best match the job posting. In many cases, your resume is never seen by anyone in the company if it doesn t match the job posting closely, so even if you have a great resume the system won t let it though unless you have exactly the right keywords.

These AI systems are not that sophisticated and so are very literal. If the person writing the job post says something like Candidate must be a self-starter, personable, and motivated then you better have at least two of those key words in your resume or you won t make it past the AI system.

It s a sad state of affairs but that s how it is now and if you want to get past the computer algorithms you need a product like Jobscan.

Jobscan helped me a lot in landing my dream job. With the help of keyword scan, I feel way more confident in my resume. My job hunting results proved it. I got a lot more phone interview and much higher yield on phone interview and onsite interview. As a matter of fact, my onsite interview yield is 100%.

Jobscan.co is very useful in helping me optimize my resume for key words which applicant tracking systems would check for with respect to the job descriptions. The company is generous enough to offer 5 free scans per month, which is helpful to those job seekers who have been out of work for some time and have tight budgets. For those who can afford to pay for premium services, there are options to scan LinkedIn profiles as well.
The staff are very helpful and responsive. They do not harass customers with excessive advertisements and up selling.

I strongly recommend Jobscan.co to anyone who is in the job hunt or looking to update their current resume. I used the tool for about 6 months to make sure my resume best highlighted my experience relative to the jobs I was applying to. I was able to land interviews with 12 different companies, eventually finding the job I was after! Thank You.

I learned about Jobscan through a professional outplacement service. When I started my job search I was not aware of Jobscan. I primarily used the resume'/job description matching application in Jobscan. Once I started using Jobscan I started getting many interviews and finally landed a dream job. I even got an interview with a company that I had applied to prior to using Jobscan, updating my resume' to get a better match. This shows you the power of the matching tool and how resume's can drop right out of the ATS if you do not show a good match with your resume'. Thank you Jobscan!

I discovered Jobscan after doing research on how to increase my chances of getting past the electronic gate keeper. I was looking for ways to get feedback on my resume to ensure I was accomplishing the necessary linkage between my resume and job postings. Jobscan provided the much needed feedback I was looking for. I found the software easy and useful, especially the compatibility rating and the identification of hard skills, soft skills, and other key words missing.

I am transitioning from the military after 28+ years and your product has helped me with tailoring my resume for each new application. Thank you, job well done!

I absolutely love jobscan! I have incorporated it into what I teach job seekers in my position as an Employment Specialist for WorkSource. We are so very excited that there is now a tool that we can show people when talking about ATS systems. We now have the ability to show people how well their resume matches the job posting. This is more helpful than words can describe.

Thank you Jobscan for making it possible for people to be able to target their resumes like never before, it's absolutely brilliant. Job seekers are getting jobs because of you!

Sincerely,

Esther Ayers

Thank you so much for the amazing service. It has been groundbreaking for me and my job search. I reside in Finland and I am not sure 100% how many companies use ATS here. However, no doubts I owe a lot of my success to Jobscan and its algorithm. I will definitely be using it again when I am up to the next career challenge. Thank you so much once again, and I wish you many great additions to the service!

Back in February this year (2020), I got to know about Jobscan and started using it to tailor my resumes as I was looking for jobs in Melbourne, Australia.
My first job application using Jobscan secured me the interview in which I did well and got the job. In this sense, Jobscan works and did give me an edge to land the position.

Having said that, that is not the only reason I give this 5-star review. The other important factors include:

- Jobscan did a good job at covering the fundamentals when it comes to writing a solid resume and how to prepare yourself to present your best throughout the job application process. Upon signing up with Jobscan, I was directed to this knowledge base on the Jobscan website by James Hu (CEO of the company) via his email.

- I also got feedback from Catherine from the company customer support along the way so the overall customer service experience was excellent.

James vision and inspiration for Jobscan on how to help job seekers navigate the typical recruitment process these days (which involves uncaring machine ATS assessment) is very commendable. Keep up the good work.

Jobscan is great. They really help you edit your resume so that it gets your foot in the door. I learned that my resume wasn't bad, it just needed to be modified to better reflect my skill set. Utilizing Jobscan I actually found employment by tailoring my resume to what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for. I definitely recommend it.

Incredibly helpful tool that is CRITICAL to use if you're actively searching for a job. If you're on the fence about using premium, I would go ahead and bite the bullet. It's worth the money. Jobscan helped me in my job search and increased my interview hit rates by 80 percent. Using the tool to track key words and make the necessary changes to beat the ATS was a blessing. You never realize how much the ATS is preventing you from moving forward until you use a tool like Jobscan and it immediately opens the doors for you. Within a few weeks after switching to premium, I managed to land a job. Thanks Jobscan!!

Since running my "resume vs. posting" on jobscan and using your suggestions I have been receiving 2-3 job calls/emails per week-- compared to ZERO for months.
The crazy thing is, I already had the simple skills that these program scans/recruiters were looking for but they were not represented 'accurately' in my online resume. For instance I had "Microsoft PowerPoint/Excel/Word" and your scan showed I did not possess any of these basic skills. Per jobscan I merely changed the complete wording to "Microsoft Excel" and my match to the job shot up.

I am recommending this site to all my friends looking for work. So far we are all very impressed.

Thank You!

Warm Regards,

Thank you Jobscan!! After starting a job search for the first time in 20 years I am finding the "new world" highly different as to when the dinosaurs roamed the job front. Jobscan has given me an entirely new set of skills, and I cannot rate the work that their team as done highly enough. I love the resume comparison to the job specification - a must tool for better defining your resume or CV.

Keep up the innovation,

I resigned myself to believing I was never going to get a job in the field where I had 25 years' experience ... until I found Jobscan.

For 7 months, I tried to outsmart the Applicant Tracking Systems by using a word cloud/text cloud service to manually match word frequencies in my resume to job postings. I did get a few responses to my applications, but the response rate was incredibly low. I was frustrated and depressed; I spent hours, every day, looking for a job and was getting nowhere. Then I found Jobscan. I tried the Sample Resume and Job Scan function using the information from my last job application. Prior to running the scan, I thought I had updated my resume to be the perfect match for the job; once I ran the Jobscan match, I saw my match score was only 16%! The easy to use Live Score Resume function allowed me to update my resume in real time and see my match score improve until I exceeded the recommended 80% match rate. I subsequently submitted two applications using JobScan, and I got two requests for interviews! I will start my new job this week after 7 months of daily frustration ... all thanks to JobScan.

This is the BEST job search tool ever. I will absolutely go straight to Job Scan if I am looking for work in the future, and I am sharing my success story with all of my friends who are currently looking for work. THANK YOU JOBSCAN TEAM!

This is a really great tool. It focuses you on what your resume (and for that matter your cover letter) needs to say and how to shape it for each job you apply for. I recommend it to everyone I know who s looking for a job. In fact a friend is using it for the first time right now. When he put his resume next to the JD he described the result as "an eye opener."

This tool is VERY helpful in making sure that your resume is aligned to the job description. It not only tells you how well it matches, but gives you the specific issue areas so you can be focused and efficient in getting the resume optimized. I found that while I was qualified for a position, my resume was a terrible match because I wasn't using the same words as the job description.

Kudos for creating a great tool for a success-seeker's collateral. When you find that one job posting that's exciting, you also want to expediently execute a top-notch resume to deliver quickly!

The site immediately grabbed my attention with its visually simple and current layout. Bold, minimal message blocks were quick clues that told me the 2 most important things I needed to know:
(a) TRY A SAMPLE RESUME AND JOB: I could get a sample resume tryout
(b) TRY LINKEDIN OPTIMIZATION : Jobscan.co was connected to, and/or represented with a known, reputable industry leader for career success and support.

You've created a service and product offering to make this possible, reducing the time and anxiety of what, for most, is quite a chore. Well-done, team!
