Jobscan

I've used their free scans to try to improve my resume and can never get it above 76%.

When I analyzed the results, I saw the issues:

1) Their word search does not recognize derivatives (if the firm is looking for "Troubleshoot" and you put "Troubleshooting" it will just ignore it.

2) Job Scan extracts the words from the job description. The description typically uses verbs (candidate must troubleshoot). However, resumes are typically written in adjectives (troubleshooter or troubleshooting). Thus, this compounds the problem with Job Scan not recognizing word derivatives.

3) Job Scan also throws the word "skills" in with many attributes (Management Skills, Organization Skills, Time Management Skills). Thus, when resumes typically just list Management, Organization, Time Management under the common heading of skills, Job Scan will NOT recognize it (unless it has the word skills after each). Such word combinations were NOT in the job description, so this cannot be blamed on extraction.

I listed the name of the major Fortune 20 company that this job was with and was told that Job Scan did not know what ATS that they were using. I can't believe that the ATS of a Fortune 20 company would be as poor as the one that Job Scan uses (noted above).

To me it is more likely that they want to use their own ATS that seems to be intended to give you low scores in order to bait you into paying for their premium services.

The new scan tool, does not conform to formatting issues.
Does not upload your resume in to scan tool.
Not reading ATS words present in a resume.
Reformates your resume
No customer support.

Overall, it's not too bad, though I still find that Jobscan's keyword counting methodology a bit peculiar, though I'm sure they'll say that's a reflection of the ATS systems they wish to emulate.

Prices of premium are pretty high. I'm interested in the features but not for that price. The design could also be a bit cleaner

Features are neat. I can't any further beyond my 1st headline without paying for a plan. But seems to be a great product.

Jobscan helps me to focus on preparing my resume and cover letter by trying to achieve 80% level for each application.

Well, this is convoluted and confusing. Give me two seconds to actually use the website before begging me for a review.

Amazing tool, Love everything about it. As a coach I wish I could afford to have the ultimate premium access!

Very helpful solution for improving your resume and adapt to job offer or make an assessment of your profile's alignment.

So far I am just getting some helpful tips so, its a bit early to comment on the programs usefulness
