Job Description Keyword Extractor
See what a job description actually asks for — requirements, not keyword stuffing.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
The requirements, skills, and signals we detect appear here as you type.
What the extractor pulls out
Paste a full posting and it separates the signal from the boilerplate — the requirements that carry weight, the responsibilities you'd own, and the seniority the role expects.
Core requirements
- Node.js · critical
- TypeScript · critical
- AWS · important
- PostgreSQL · important
Experience signals
- 5+ years
- Production systems
Responsibilities
- Own backend services
- Design distributed systems
- Improve reliability
Evidence prompts: each requirement becomes a question to ask your own CV — where have you actually done this?
How it reads a job description
It scans your pasted text against a curatedskill lexicon — the tools, languages, and frameworks that actually name a requirement — and matches them case-insensitively so “node.js” and “Node.js” both count.
Two things push a term up: frequency(a skill mentioned more than once is emphasised) andsection placement (a term inside a Requirements or Qualifications block outweighs one buried in prose). It also pulls responsibilities from the “What you'll do” section and seniority signals like “5+ years” or “Senior”.
The goal is requirement clarity, not keyword stuffing. It shows you what the role genuinely asks for so you can tailor to the substance — mirroring the terms you can honestly support, and skipping the ones you can't.
When to use it
- Before tailoring — see what a posting really asks for before you touch your CV.
- Prioritising effort — spot the critical requirements worth leading with.
- Comparing roles — extract two postings and see how their demands differ.
- Prepping for interviews — turn each requirement into a question about your own evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Focus on the concrete requirements: the hard skills, tools, and responsibilities the role names explicitly — especially anything in a Requirements or Qualifications section. These are the terms a recruiter and an ATS both scan for, and the ones you should mirror only where you have real experience to back them up.
