Keyword Matching Issue in Resume Scanner

BugsSimplify Copilot

Dear Simplify Team,

I wanted to share a quick piece of feedback regarding the keyword matching feature in your resume scanner. I've observed that even when certain keywords—such as "problem-solving," "end-to-end," and "cross-functional"—are clearly present in my resume, the tool still flags them as missing or unmatched in the keyword score.

I’ve even tried copying and pasting the exact suggested words verbatim into the resume text, but the issue persists. It seems like there might be a bug in the parsing or matching logic.

Could you please have your team look into this and help get it fixed? This would really improve the user experience and accuracy of the tool.

Appreciate your efforts and looking forward to an improved version soon.

Regards,

Somen

    Hey @Somen Kumar! Are you using a resume file that you’ve created yourself? Or are you using our resume builder? It should work if you use our resume builder. Otherwise, there might be formatting issues with the resume you’ve created.

      Hi Luke,

      Thanks for getting back.

      Yes, I’m using a resume that I created myself. However, for some of the keywords like “problem-solving,” “end-to-end,” and “cross-functional,” I’ve copied the exact terms directly from Simplify’s keyword suggestions into my resume—same wording and format.

      Despite that, these specific keywords still don’t seem to register in the keyword score. Since I’m facing this issue only with a few terms, I’d prefer not to rebuild the resume from scratch in the Simplify builder.

      Is there any workaround or formatting fix I can apply to my existing resume to ensure these keywords are detected properly?

      Appreciate your help!

      Best regards,
      Somen

        Based on the keywords you’ve provided, it sounds like it’s a hyphen issue. If you submit a report through the extension (the flag icon at the top right of the popup), I’ll see what I can do!
