No credit card required · Recruiter intelligence + ATS analysis
ATS terminology
Hand-curated by role. These aren't generic keywords, they're the language recruiters and ATS systems weight most for this specific role.
Recruiters and ATS systems screen for these specific terms. Missing them quietly removes candidates from consideration.
Strong action verbs that signal ownership and outcome. Generic language reads as junior or inflated.
Searchable skills
These are the named tools, frameworks, and concepts recruiters search for explicitly. Missing the relevant ones quietly removes you from consideration.
Only list what you've actually shipped or used. ATS systems reward keyword alignment, but recruiters discount unsupported claims , cross-reference each skill in at least one bullet.
Common mistakes
Generic language without specific scope or tooling
