Match your resume's wording to the job posting before applying
Most rejections at this stage are keyword mismatches, not qualification gaps. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
Applicant tracking systems rank resumes by matching the posting's own keywords and phrasing, not by understanding equivalent skills. A resume that says "customer support" when the posting says "client success" can lose points it would otherwise earn — repeating the posting's actual terms fixes that.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
