Getting Started

Resume Matcher works by creating a master resume that you can use to tailor for each job application. Installation instructions here: How to Install

How It Works

1. Upload your master resume (PDF or DOCX)
2. Paste a job description you're targeting
3. Review AI-generated improvements and tailored content
4. Cover Letter and optional interview preparation for the job application
5. Customize the layout and sections to fit your style
6. Export as a professional PDF with your preferred template

Built for Software Engineers

Installing Resume Matcher takes a terminal, so most of the people running it write software. It fits the way you already work:

• It runs on your machine. A FastAPI backend, a Next.js frontend and a SQLite file. Clone the repo or start one Docker container. You don't create an account, and your resume stays in your own database.
• You choose the model. Bring an API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or Groq, or run a local model with Ollama so your resume never leaves the machine.
• Claude Code can drive it. The MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or Codex write the tailored resume while Resume Matcher stores, checks and renders it, with no LLM key.
• It sticks to your real experience. The tailoring prompts forbid adding skills, tools, employers or metrics that aren't in your master resume.
• The scores are plain code. The ATS score (services/ats.py) and the ATS check (services/ats_parse/) make no LLM call. The ATS check runs your PDF through pdfminer to show what an applicant tracking system would extract.
• The templates look like engineering resumes. Deedy, Modern Deedy and a LaTeX-style layout sit next to single- and two-column options. Seven of the designs also come as editable pdfLaTeX projects for Overleaf in resume-matcher-templates.
