Underwhelming experience
December 6, 2023

Am afraid I am getting below what I had hoped for with jobscan. The only function that I thought was working well also turned out to be below par. The resume review function keeps scoring low despite implementing all the changes proposed. As for the cover letter, it simply jumps from low to high score even without making a change. This makes jobscan unreliable and a waste of my time and money.

Had asked for the search function for previously-applied job, but received no solution from Support after nearly 2 years. Disappointing.

We should be able to download the entire Scan History in order to assess comb data & gauge our job search progress.

Skills often include "partnership" which doesn't include "collaboration" - and they mean very similar things so then my score is low. I don't want to put both partnership and collaboration in my resume...

Free version isn't very helpful
February 19, 2021

Free version isn't very helpful. But, I understand why. I'm going to have to wait until I can justify spending $50 for an account because my resume has already landed me one interview. If I accept the job I won't be looking for another one.

Easy to use and can be helpful in content. It is frustrating that it just seems dumb.
"Project planning" vs "Project plans", vs "Planning projects" are not picked up as a match.
"Plans" vs "plan" would not be picked up as a match.
There really is no excuse for not building this in.
I've done a number of resumes reaching over 85% match and no response from companies, so I feel like it's not hitting the mark, but difficult to know why.

Although you subscribe for free Premium package, you hardly can use all features especially LinkedIn Optimisation. The summary is so short that it is not at all useful. The chat window only appeared once and I can't go back or seem to find it. How can someone decide on this trial to go for $90 package is beyond me

I purchased job scan quarterly plan and it was automatically cancelled due to payment issues. Even though my credit card was not expired or any issues with it.

Job scan never sent email or any communication about failed payment to fix issue. They just simply killed the plan they offered as part of 50% off quarterly plan. I really feel cheated as first 4 month I did not use the service much but when I can to login to site I find that I am no more premium and customer care also simply did not help on the same they just said its my fault to not check emails. Where I did not found any email even in junk emails since my account was expired within 10 days and my junk email also don't delete before 30 days. I will not trust them again as they simply delete my premium without notifying me.

Looking for work is and can be painful. Using Jobscan may take some effort but really helps keep hope alive during this transition time.
One thing I wish they would do is scan through all resumes already scanned and choose the one with the best preliminary score for each new job description uploaded. This would save me a ton of time and rework.

Job scan
December 7, 2023

I started a 3 month subscription to trial Job Scan and to see if it made any difference in terms of key words etc. I have used the service a number of times and my CV has got to the bench mark % and I have submitted the CV. At this stage I have not had a noticeable up tick in response and therefore will be reviewing whether it is worth continuing with the product

Your AI doesn't seem to pickup variations on phrases very well. It also tried to match me to the very job it just told me I don't qualify for, so there's that. Overall, not a good first impression. If this is the state of resume AI, a LOT of qualified people are likely getting shot down by glitchy tech. Yikes.

I work in SW which for a long time has been an employee's market. But recently things have swung back the other way, and getting that initial resume look or phone screen is not as easy as it used to be. I tried jobscan on recommendation of an article, and right away noticed I got more resume views, and calls. In fact one company I was never able to get a call from finally called the third time I applied, after using jobscan to up my score.

I also tried a professional resume writing service, and jobscan caught some changes made by the service that actually made the resume harder to parse. I don't use LinkedIn, but looks like they even have something that helps with that. I was more than happy to pay for the three months once the trial expired. I think the price was well worth it, and helped me get a needed edge in a flooded market.

Next time I'm looking, will definitely re-subscribe, great service!

Helped me figure out how to navigate ATS's
September 19, 2021

I used Jobscan Pro throughout my job search to compare the job description to my resume. I really liked that there were in-depth tips based on what kind of ATS some jobs use to parse keywords and save time (always put in the website's link so Jobscan can check!). Now obviously you have to still put in the work and make your resume readable for the real humans who may be looking for them, but this is a wonderful aid! Starting my new job in a week.

Thrilled to have discovered Jobscan!
September 1, 2022

A great tool to help vet the quality of ones' resume when applying online with systems that utilize ATS (applicant tracking system). You've got to get past the AI before human eyes are likely to take note and Jobscan may very well help! Good luck to all job other seekers out there! Oh, and I reached out to support and got a prompt response with an explanation!

Great tool to tailor your Resume
January 24, 2021

I have used Jobscan for preparing my CV for applications. The tool is very effective and, with just few little changes, it provides a massive change in the way my applications were perceived/retained by recruiters.
Also, it saved me a great amount of time when tailoring my CV for specific job ads. The scanner tells you which key words to focus on and help you going straight to the point.

The best!
September 21, 2021

Jobscan helped me immensely. I applied to over 250 jobs over about 2 years and got only one job interview and no offer. I started using Jobscan, applied to only 12 jobs in 3 months and received 5 interviews and landed an awesome job. I cannot thank them enough, this software is incredible and worth every penny. I wish I would have found it sooner and I will definitely use it again in the future if I'm job hunting again. 10/10 recommend.

Over the course of a 4-5 month period, I submitted well over 100 applications and was averaging about 15% response rate, which was depressing and moral-sapping. I found out about applicant tracking systems and how they screen for matching keywords from the job description in my resume. No wonder my results were poor, I was not doing any customization at all. I invested in Jobscan and the application helped me customize my resumes and emphasize certain content and de-emphasize other content. I believe this helped me get noticed, land interviews and ultimately get multiple job offers. This is a tool that is reasonably priced and is a wise investment for job seekers in today's intense job market. I would definitely recommend it.

Though it took several months to land a job opportunity, Jobscan was instrumental in ensuring key information was in my resume and assisting from a mentor who provided human interaction and feedback to my resume. In addition, I liked the feature where Jobscan identified shortcomings and allowed me to update my resume simultaneously scanning the job description. This enabled me to input real-time modifications to the resume, providing a percentage of what is still needed to meet the recommended 80% ATS probability. Great product, and thank you!

I used Jobscan to refine my resume, my LinkedIn profile and my cover letter for each and every job application. The tool is excellent at pointing you to specific changes to make to tailor your application material to a given job description. With unlimited scans, this helped improve my odds against the myriad and different ATS screening software tools which different companies use.

+ automated cover letters too!
November 10, 2023

Recently subscribed to service and am very pleased. This is exactly what artificial intelligence should do. Thousands of comparisons of words and objective scoring to tell you how to improve.

The cover letter writer has been giving me nearly perfect suggestions that require almost no edit before submitting. I simply make them a little shorter and copy, paste, and submit!

Frustrated job seeker turns to Jobscan
August 19, 2021

Jobscan seems to act as an ATS, thus providing accurate assessments of how your resume will likely be reviewed by employers. I did notice some nuances in how Jobscan picks up key words that are not actually part of the job description, so you do want review your results carefully.
