Good one, but at the same time the conflict of scans also happen. 80% match is very difficult to achieve practically. Words differ and experiences also differ from company to company

An excellent tool to tackle ATS
May 7, 2024

The introduction of Jobscan is a gift several years ago to tackle ATS. The ability to automatically identify the keywords needed to be included in my resume to increase the possibility of reaching the recruiter/hiring manager is a plus.
However, as Jobscan matures, the following challenges have occurred.
1. The Power Edit tool forces the premium users to use one of the resume templates. This is a negative as several of the resume templates cannot be ingested properly by ATS, resulting in extra work to manually enter the resume content during job application.
2. In several iteration of Power Edit, the tool would drop some content from my resume. Since this is such an edge case, I didn't realize the missing verbiage in my resume till an accidental discovery during a job application. This severely damaged my job application success.
3. In the free access, Jobscan would hide certain hard or soft skill to promote upgrade to premium subscription. This is disappointing as Jobscan shouldn't prioritize monetarization above the success of the job seekers.
4. In Power Edit, the incorporation of AI to assist with rewording of resume contention to increase the match score is not user friendly. Instead, I recommend Jobscan gives example of updated verbiage by incorporating the changes with the current resume content for effectiveness.
5. Lastly, the recent introduction of Job List gives the impression of a conflict of interest as it is not clear where Jobscan is getting the job opportunities. If the job postings are coming from the input of users, then it will actually reduce our job application success ratio. Jobscan should consider dropping this feature and focus on its core selling points.

The free level felt a little "bait and switch" as it didn't disclose the amount of gated information and gave relatively little for my providing a good deal of personal information.

Great Help
March 27, 2022

Helpful for knowing what to add to resume to get viewed by recruiters. Could make changes and rescan multiple times to get best results with premium account, well worth the money!

So far so good. Easier to update resume with specific suggestions. It would be easier to customize resume to the job description and not waste time figuring it out.

Know your enemy

Without jobscan you have no idea how hosed your are with your resume. If you don't use jobscan you will be in the dark and you will doubt your personal value.

The pricing was misleading
June 11, 2022

The pricing was misleading. Page said $71.96, but charge was $89. Discount was already applied and not visible. Would not have purchased if I had seen the discount already applied.

The upload and job description links go in a feedback loop with no end and no outcome. Also, I signed up for premier service at a cost and it does not show up with my log-in.

The interface isn't as user friendly as I expected. Also, the formatting on my resume was messed up after I uploaded it to scan. I am not satisfied and will likely not continue after the trial.
