How ATS keyword matching works
Applicant tracking systems rank applications by how well they match the job description. Paste the job ad and the generator finds the role keywords it contains — plus any terms it repeats — weaves them into your text and shows which are covered. Click a missing keyword to add it, but only if you genuinely have that skill.
Project Manager keywords recruiters search for

Hi there, I hope you're doing well! I saw that Northwind is hiring a Project Manager and I'm very interested. I have 5 years of experience in project planning, risk management and Agile delivery, and I recently delivered a $2M system migration two weeks early and 8% under budget. Would you be comfortable referring me, or pointing me to the hiring manager? I'm happy to send my resume and a two-line summary to make it easy for you. Thanks so much either way, Alex Morgan
Tips for a referral request that gets replies
- Lead with who you are and why you are writing in the first line.
- Quantify one achievement — numbers stand out to recruiters and to ATS parsers.
- Send plain text (no tables or columns) so ATS software can read it.
- Proofread names and company spelling — it is the most common mistake.
