All the API endpoint details are available here: Resume/CV Job Match Score API

What Problem Are We Solving?

Let’s face it—traditional resume screening tools often rely on rigid keyword matching. They miss context, nuance, and real-life relevance. And manual screening? It’s time-consuming, inconsistent, and let’s be honest—no one enjoys it.

Our new API brings AI-powered intelligence to resume screening. Instead of just looking for the word “JavaScript,” it asks:

  • How experienced is this person with JavaScript?
  • Is that experience relevant to this specific role?
  • Does their education, project history, or certifications back it up?

In other words, it thinks like a recruiter—but processes results in milliseconds.

How It Works

Just upload a resume file (PDF, DOCX, TXT—you name it) and paste the job description. The API will handle the rest:

  1. Automatically extract relevant data from the CV.
  2. Compare it against the job requirements using 20+ AI-weighted scoring factors.
  3. Return a structured JSON response with both match scores and explanations.

That’s it. You get an instant breakdown of how well a candidate fits your role—no manual guesswork.
