Job ad keyword extractor for Australian applications.

Paste a job ad. You get the required keywords, the preferred ones, and the terms repeated often enough to matter, sorted the way a recruiter or an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) actually reads them.

Why the ad's own words matter

An Applicant Tracking System and a time-poor recruiter both do literal matching, not comprehension. If the ad says "stakeholder engagement" and your CV says "liaised with senior managers," neither one connects the two. Extracting the ad's actual language first means you tailor your CV to the words that will be searched for, not a guess at what might matter.

Common questions

What keywords should I add to my CV?

Only the ones in the required and repeated lists that are also true of you. This tool tells you what the ad is asking for; it is not a shopping list. Adding a keyword you cannot back up in an interview costs you more than leaving it out.

How is this different from the free ATS checker?

This tool only reads the job ad, so it works before you have a CV drafted or when you're deciding whether a role is even worth tailoring for. The free ATS checker compares a specific CV against the ad and tells you exactly what your CV is missing.

Why do some keywords show as 'repeated'?

A term used more than once in a job ad is a reasonable signal of what the employer cares about most, even when it is not formally listed as a requirement. Recruiters and recruitment software both tend to weight repeated language.

Do you keep the job ad I paste?

No. The text is sent to our AI provider for extraction and is not kept by us. It is never sold. We never use it to train AI, and our AI provider is contractually barred from doing so.
