  • ⏱️ Recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds scanning each resume
  • 🎯 Job seekers often don't know why their applications are rejected
  • 💼 Companies miss qualified candidates due to keyword mismatches

✨ Solution

Our AI-powered matcher provides:

  • Instant compatibility scoring between resume and job description
  • Real-time feedback on resume optimization
  • PDF parsing for easy resume upload
  • Actionable insights to improve application success rate

🚀 Features

Core Functionality

Feature Description
🤖 AI-Powered Matching Uses Cosine Similarity algorithm to calculate resume-JD compatibility

📖 Usage

For Job Seekers

  1. Prepare Your Materials

    • Have your resume in PDF format ready
    • Copy the job description from the job posting

  2. Run the Application

    streamlit run resume_app.py

  3. Input Data

    • Paste the job description in the left panel
    • Upload your resume PDF in the right panel

  4. Analyze

    • Click "Analyze Match Score"
    • Review your compatibility percentage
    • Follow the recommendations to improve your score

  5. Optimize

    • Add relevant keywords from the JD
    • Rerun analysis until you achieve 70%+ match
    • Submit your optimized resume

For Recruiters

  1. Batch Screening

    • Use the tool to quickly screen multiple candidates
    • Set a minimum threshold (e.g., 60%) for further review

  2. JD Optimization

    • Test your job descriptions for clarity
    • Ensure key requirements are properly communicated

  3. Candidate Ranking

    • Compare multiple resumes against the same JD
    • Prioritize candidates with higher match scores

🔬 How It Works

Algorithm Breakdown

  1. Text Extraction

    # Extracts text from PDF resume
resume_text = extract_text_from_pdf(uploaded_file)

  2. Vectorization

    # Converts text to numerical vectors
cv = CountVectorizer()
matrix = cv.fit_transform([resume_text, jd_text])

  3. Similarity Calculation

    # Computes cosine similarity between vectors
similarity = cosine_similarity(matrix)
match_score = similarity[0][1] * 100

Mathematical Foundation

Cosine Similarity Formula:

similarity = (A · B) / (||A|| × ||B||)

Where:
A = Resume vector
B = Job Description vector
· = Dot product
||X|| = Magnitude of vector X

Why Cosine Similarity?

  • Measures angle between vectors, not distance
  • Excellent for text comparison
  • Scale-independent (works with documents of different lengths)
  • Industry-standard for ATS systems
