How the Résumé Optimizer works

What you give it

On Optimize, paste your résumé or use Import from bank (refined résumés only), and paste the full job description — the requirements section is what it scores against. The résumé needs at least 120 characters and the posting at least 80.

What it does

1. Reads the posting and pulls out what the employer is actually asking for.
2. Builds an evidence ledger: for each requirement, it looks for proof in your résumé and quotes it. Each requirement is marked proven, equivalent, partial or absent. About evidence
3. Rewrites your résumé for the posting, using only what the ledger found.
4. Audits the result in code — parseability, source-traceable facts, readability, structure and term presence — and repairs concrete problems. Missing job terms alone do not trigger keyword insertion. How the audit works

The hiring company's name is never treated as a keyword to stuff in.
