How it finds the keywords

It looks for three things in the posting: skills and tools from a dictionary of common ones (with their usual spellings and abbreviations), words that look like technology — C++, Node.js, acronyms like SQL or SEO — and two-word phrases the posting repeats, which are usually what the team cares about most.

Keywords are the first filter, not the whole job. Matching every requirement with something you actually did is what gets an interview; that’s what tailoring a resume to a job description in Refacet does.

Questions

Why do resume keywords matter?
Many companies screen resumes with applicant tracking systems (ATS) that search for the skills and tools named in the job description. Recruiters skim for the same words. If the posting says Kubernetes and your resume says k8s — or nothing — you can be passed over.
Should I add every missing keyword?
Only the ones that are true. Add a skill you have but didn’t mention; don’t add one you don’t have — it will come up in the interview.
Does it understand synonyms?
For common ones, yes: Postgres and PostgreSQL, k8s and Kubernetes, CI/CD and continuous integration count as the same skill.
Is my resume uploaded?
No. The scan runs in your browser; nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
