Know your chances
before you apply
CareerBrains compares your resume to any job description and returns a precise 0–100 fit score — with a breakdown of matched skills, gaps, and specific tips to strengthen your application.
Matched Skills
Skill Gaps
Six outputs that make every application smarter
A Check Fit report isn’t a single number — it’s a complete picture of where you stand and exactly what to do next.
Overall Fit Score (0–100)
A single weighted number that tells you at a glance how well your background matches this role. Scores above 75 indicate strong alignment; below 50 means significant gaps exist.
Three-Dimensional Breakdown
Your score is decomposed into three pillars — Technical Skills, Experience Depth, and Leadership & Soft Skills — so you know exactly where you're strong and where to focus.
Matched Skills
Every skill, technology, and qualification from your resume that directly aligns with the job requirements, highlighted so you know what to lead with in your application.
Skill Gaps
Requirements listed in the job description that your resume doesn't yet cover. Gaps are prioritised by how critical they are to the role, helping you decide what to address first.
Tailored Recommendations
3–5 specific, actionable suggestions for strengthening this exact application — for example: 'Add a quantified outcome to your project management bullet' or 'Emphasise your AWS Lambda experience in your summary'.
Application Tips
Strategic advice tailored to the company, seniority level, and industry — including how to open your cover letter, what to highlight in a screening call, and potential interview angles.
A weighted formula built around what hiring managers actually care about
Most job matching tools compare keywords. CareerBrains understands meaning. We use large language models to read both your resume and the job description as a human would, then score three dimensions that predict real-world hiring outcomes.
Does your tech stack, tooling, and domain knowledge match what the role requires? This is the dominant signal for most professional roles.
Does your years of experience, seniority level, and past responsibilities align with the scope and expectations of the position?
Do you show relevant soft skills — communication, teamwork, mentorship — that the job description explicitly calls for?
How we understand your resume
Semantic matching
We use vector embeddings so synonyms and related concepts are understood — 'Node.js' matches 'JavaScript backend', 'ML' matches 'machine learning'.
Structured extraction
Your resume is parsed into skills, roles, durations, and achievements — not treated as a raw text blob.
Private by default
Your resume is never shared with employers or third parties. It's used solely to power your personal AI reports.
