Jobscan provides helpful, detailed insights, which is critical for your resume and cover letter to be ATS optimised. It was easy to use, and I greatly improved my CV and cover letter according to its recommendations. It gives you a multifaceted view beyond just the wording or phrases check, so I still had a lot of flexibility to adjust my documents to fit my voice.
Recently subscribed to service and am very pleased. This is exactly what artificial intelligence should do. Thousands of comparisons of words and objective scoring to tell you how to improve.
The cover letter writer has been giving me nearly perfect suggestions that require almost no edit before submitting. I simply make them a little shorter and copy, paste, and submit!
The LinkedIn profile scan was simple and easy to do, with good feedback and alignment.
The resume compared to the job description (JD) needs some upgrades.
1. It does not maintain the resume format well, so I have zero confidence I can update my resume using the tool. It misses my Key Highlights area that has a lot of the critical words.
2. I want it to hold the JD but allow me to upload a new version of my resume.
3. The cover letter writing doesn't seem like its generated from the resume and JD. It should look at both and then tell the best story. Then I can go from that version with updates.
The hard skills, softs skills, and other keywords that jobscan pulls from the job description are sometimes off. I like that I can remove the hard and soft skills from the scan and scoring. I also find that there are no brainer skills that jobscan is not picking up. I would love a way to manually add skills to the list that jobscan uses to score the resume.
I often run chatGPT (or similar) to ask it for keywords for a good ATS scan. It does it better sometimes. It always picks up obvious ones that jobscan misses.
The idea is this. Recruiters already build keywords into their ATS for each job posting for more effective matching. Jobscan would be more useful if they allowed the user to mimicked this approach.
This is the main reason why I probably will not continue my subscription--because it just is not good enough.
I bought the JobScan Premium. The Power Edit is the feature that is differentiator from your competition. But you need to reduce your subscription cost. It is too much for someone who has lost their job!.
Contact me for further discussion, please.
I started a 3 month subscription to trial Job Scan and to see if it made any difference in terms of key words etc. I have used the service a number of times and my CV has got to the bench mark % and I have submitted the CV. At this stage I have not had a noticeable up tick in response and therefore will be reviewing whether it is worth continuing with the product
Jobscan has (at least) two tools that strengthen my applications: The Scan tool compares your application materials (resume, cover letter) to the job posting and returns a score that measures how well your application matches the posting. It then identifies the words and phrases that you can add to improve that score. Power Edit is similar but let's you edit your resume within the app and shows the change in you match score with each edit you make. I've had resumes that start at 38% and improve to 84%!
Using Jobscan, I feel more confident that my applications will pass the ATS and be seen by real humans who will hopefully set up an interview.
This took has been a lifesaver. So easy to use and helps guide me. The best part was that they offered a free webinar session showing updated features and how to best utilize the tool. One of the best events I have been to. It has helped me shave time off of applying for jobs and understanding all the features.
Easy to use and can be helpful in content. It is frustrating that it just seems dumb.
"Project planning" vs "Project plans", vs "Planning projects" are not picked up as a match.
"Plans" vs "plan" would not be picked up as a match.
There really is no excuse for not building this in.
I've done a number of resumes reaching over 85% match and no response from companies, so I feel like it's not hitting the mark, but difficult to know why.
Many times when I cut and paste a job description and link, it doesn't save. I have to do it again and still it doesn't save. I have have several problems with this over the past month. I am not sure if I will continue
Jobscan provides a good service for recent graduates like myself who are applying for a lot of role but no one is getting back to us. It helps me tailor my resume to pas the ATS system
My overall impression is that this tool helps guide the resume and cover letter, but as much as it can guide, it's only as successful as the information/ content via resume and cover letter submitted.
Hi
I hope that you are well.
I have been using Jobscan but still getting rejects on my CV. The feedback when I reached out was it did not make it pass the ATS. There is something fundamental missing in this software. For the price, it does not perform well and does not make candidates stand out. I will be unsubscribing end of my 3 months.
This tool helped alot in my job search by allowing me to increase the job compatibility with my CV which helped me stand out and was able to get an interview which led to my current assignment
Am afraid I am getting below what I had hoped for with jobscan. The only function that I thought was working well also turned out to be below par. The resume review function keeps scoring low despite implementing all the changes proposed. As for the cover letter, it simply jumps from low to high score even without making a change. This makes jobscan unreliable and a waste of my time and money.
JobScan does a decent job of ranking the comparisons between my resume and a company's job description, and giving me specific words and phrases that can make my resume more likely to be selected by the company's bots.
JobScan does have several flaws, however. One of the biggest for me is when I have a specific phrase in my resume that is an exact match for the phrase in a job description, but JobScan flags it as 'missing' from my resume.
One of the things i see most often is when a phrase in the job description is in lower-case, but the exact same phrase in my resume is in Upper-Case.
Another thing I don't like is that when I make some changes to my resume to match what JobScan says I'm missing, the %ranking doesn't change. If making a match has no effect on the ranking, why is JobScan showing it as something that needs to be fixed?
Jobscan is actually a very supportive tool in the endeavour of the job seek. I don't have much to say. As far as I know, I haven't seen a similar tool out there. Now with the artificial intelligence, capabilities have improved amazingly. Jobscan is my compagnon during hard times. I could say more at another occasion.
Not great invasive and ineffective. Lots of emails no quality roles or interviews
This tool is useful, but there are some issues that are difficult to deal with. For the cost, it seems silly that the scanning tool cannot differentiate tenses. I will have the word "growth" or "grew" within the resume and it will not consider it a match unless the word "grow" is there. Also, the idea that one should have the exact job title as is used on the job description doesn't make much sense and that is also counted as points against an effective resume.
From the business
Applicant tracking systems may be all that is standing in the way between you and a job interview. To get past these pesky ATS, your resume needs relevant skills and keywords from each description. That's where Jobscan comes in.
Jobscan scores your resume against any job description and reveals the keywords you should include. It’s an essential free-to-try tool to increase your interview chances in today’s job market.
