## About

## What it does

Resume Job Match Score compares a resume or CV against a job description and returns structured match results for hiring workflows. Send a resume file plus the job description text, and get back a job ID and a status URL for polling.

Use it when you want to screen applicants consistently before a recruiter reviews them. The submit endpoint accepts a binary file in PDF, DOCX, TXT, or similar formats, along with the job description in plain text. You can also set the language used for explanations.

When the job completes, the status endpoint returns a result object with match scores and human-readable explanations. The scores cover overall_match and a range of hiring signals such as skills_match, experience_match, education_match, soft_skills_match, technical_stack_match, job_title_relevance, recent_role_relevance, certifications_match, project_experience_match, and more. The response also includes the job status, so you can track whether the analysis is queued, running, successful, or failed.

Resume Job Match Score is a fit for ATS enrichment, recruiter triage, and shortlist ranking where you need both a numeric comparison and transparent reasoning behind it.
