I can’t recommend Skill Syncher enough

I can’t recommend Skill Syncher enough! Before using this service, I was struggling to get interviews despite having the right qualifications. After tailoring my resume to job descriptions with Skill Syncher, I went from getting no interviews to landing over six in just a month!

This tool doesn’t just help you get past applicant tracking systems—it helps you truly understand what strengths your resume highlights and where you might be falling short. It ensures you’re putting your best foot forward for roles you’re actually qualified for.

The best part? I landed a job in the same month I started using Skill Syncher—and not just any job, but one that’s a perfect fit. I know it sounds cliché, but I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. If you’re job hunting, this service is a game changer!

Landed an interview in mere hours

SkillSyncer made it easy for me to identify what keywords were missing from my resume. It was helpful to see what valuable experiences I was failing to show employers. I could easily make tweaks and rescan my resume until I got a result I was confident with. The first time I used SkillSyncer, I got an interview for a Director level position just seven hours after submitting my resume and cover letter. (Plus I love that they offer a discount to military families).

SkillSyncer opened my eyes

I was introduced to SkillSyncer through the employment office at my church. The introduction to the product was compelling enough that I bought access to it.

SkillSyncer takes any resume and deconstructs it so a person can finally see how a company’s AI looks at it. Very insightful.

It was hugely helpful to see my resume through the “eyes” of the corporations AI. The new viewpoint allowed me to edit, modify, correct, emphasize, or match my skills to the job posting for better and wider recognition.

Thanks, SkillSyncer!

I really enjoy using SkillSyncer

I really enjoy using SkillSyncer. It feels it has more granular control over targeting your resume with the assistance of AI. I have used Jobscan, and although it’s a great product, it’s bullet generator just revise what you have already typed. With SkillSyner, you can select 5 keywords to generate a bullet you may need help with. This is game changing for me, especially when trying to translate my military experience.

Premium resume tools underwhelming and no money-back guarantee

UPDATE:
The founder reached out to me and got my refund processed. He took some time to address my issue with "unsophisticated and arbitrary" keywords in my original review below and helped me understand better how SkillSyncer's keywords accurately reflect what ATS systems look for.

I'm improving my rating based on what I believe was a mature response to correct an initial misstep with their refund process. The premium resume tool is still not for me in it's current form (mainly due to my personal experience with their live edit tool being very time-consuming), but I would consider taking another look in the future when the product has grown a bit more.

-----------------------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I'm unhappy with the company's premium plan resume tools and their customer service. Many of their keyword suggestions didn't make sense and there was no way to mark them as N/A so they wouldn't affect my match score, basically rendering their match score useless as I tried to reach their target of 80% match. Additionally, the way their "live editor" tool works leaves a ton of manual effort on your plate. You basically end up having to rewrite your resume bullets from scratch if your trying to incorporate their keyword suggestions due to the strictness they impose around using the exact phrasing of their keywords. I don't know if that's how ATS systems really work when they scan a resume, but it seemed pretty unsophisticated and arbitrary to me to have to type in the multi-word keywords exactly as shown in the suggestions.

Despite all the above, SkillSyncer would still merit a higher score if not for their policies around the premium plan. They do not provide a trial for you to see what you are buying into when you sign up for premium beforehand. If I had been able to see these features ahead of time, I never would have spent the money.

But, most egregious of all, is that they have no satisfaction guarantee / refund policy if you don't like the tool. I think not having a satisfaction guarantee shows their lack of confidence in the product. I feel dumb for not noticing that beforehand, but I was in a hurry to get a resume submitted and didn't look for their refund policy beforehand. I signed up for a 3-month subscription, used the premium features on only one resume, then asked for my money back when I was not happy with the features. They responded saying they don't normally give refund but occasionally make exceptions, then they asked me for more detail about what I didn't like about it. I think good companies with quality products have a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee; they don't need to make their refund process uncertain ("might" give a refund) and difficult (you need to give us more details before we will consider maybe giving you a refund), like SkillSyncer has for me.

TL;DR: I wouldn't recommend the premium plan to anyone. It's features are unsophisticated and don't really save you time (although they likely will improve your resume match quality). They also did not provide me a refund for my 3-month subscription even though I used the premium features only once before informing them I was unhappy with the tools.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry that our premium plan didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to outline your concerns.

Regarding keyword suggestions, we understand the frustration with irrelevant matches. While we do offer a way to ignore such keywords, we recognize the need to make this feature more prominent and user-friendly. Your comments on the Live Editor are also noted, and we’ll explore improvements to reduce the manual effort required when incorporating suggestions.

We understand your disappointment with our refund policy. Given your concerns, we believe a refund is warranted and are happy to process it for you.

We’re grateful for your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance as we continue to improve.

Magic!

I have been casually looking for new employment options for 6 months. I have tweaked, sweated, and cried over every edit, punctuation, and formatting option on my resume for months. I applied to about 15 different roles that I was interested in, but over qualified for, and have heard nothing from anyone acknowledging that I am being considered. It has been frustrating and defeating.

In the past 24 hours I have used your Skillsyncer program to review my resume approximately 4 times. My first score was a whopping 31. I reviewed the suggestions, made some changes, and today I got to 81.

Empowered by my new score, I uploaded the new and improved resume to a job application that I submitted over a week ago. After 11 days of silence, one hour later, I had an interview scheduled.

You are magic!

Very helpful finding a job

The tools provided by SkillSyncer were instrumental in helping me find a job. Not only did they help me identify and incorporate ATS compatible words and phrases, they also helped me fine-tune my resume to be more concise while still being thorough. They introduced many ideas I either hadn't thought of or wasn't able to properly convey. I was a monthly subscriber with unlimited access.

Very Helpful and Affordable

I had been out of work for a while for health reasons, and I was unfamiliar with formatting my resume for ATS scans. I was looking for work for several months before I realized that I needed new tools to help me get employers’ attention, and SkillSyncer really came through for me as an affordable solution. Less than a month after subscribing to SkillSyncer, I landed not one but two interviews! And less than 2 months after subscribing, I landed my new job. I am SO HAPPY to have a job that I like and to finally be able to make some money. Thank you, SkillSyncer!

Skill Syncer is a Great Resource

Skill Syncer has been a crucial resource for transitioning service members as they embark on the challenge to enter the civilian community. The transition department here has been assisting service members with building their resume and learning specifically how to target their resume to the civilian job listings. Skill Syncer has helped many of my service members land not only civilian job positions but also federal job positions from GS7 to GS12 by just adding the necessary verbiage that was identified by SkillSyncer. Such a tremendous resource for all transitioning service members and spouses!

What a success!

I was feeling hopeless in my job search until a coach recommended Skillsyncer. My resume score was low, and I couldn't understand why. But with Skillsyncer's help, I quickly improved it. The transformation was incredible, and I started receiving interview invitations right away. This tool was a game-changer.

Absolutely horrible

Absolutely horrible. Pulls words that have nothing to do with the actual job, and ignores key skills and experiences. It can't even find the job title half of the time. Tells you to add skill and then tells you it's bringing no value to the resume. What a waste of time and money and they say that they offer no refunds. Stay away from this one.

Update: So, they say they offer refunds within 7 days. I contacted them 2 days after purchasing and was told sorry, we don't offer any refunds. Sadly, I missed the deadline to respond to them.

Hi. We are sorry that you had a bad experience on our site. Our algorithm uses the user submitted text to scan for keywords and the job title would need to be present as well for it to be scanned. If you include the company benefits section that may cause unrelated keywords to be picked up and we have a feature to ignore keywords that are not relevant. Please email us at support@skillsyncer.com and include the scan id so we can investigate. Thanks

Don't Think Twice About This Site!

I was a bit skeptical at first, but after giving it a try I must say that this is a game changer! I was recently part of a huge comapny lay-off and had put my resume out there. Although I know I have the experience and the knowledge, unless you know a lot of people personally at several different companies, it can be difficult to get your resume through the system successfully. Now that most resumes go through ATS, regardless of your skills and experience, the system can place you in the reject pile within minutes if you don’t have those certain “keywords“. SkillSyncer not only shows you the keywords to use, but provides the number of times that keyword is used in the job description, the ones that are considered hard skills and which ones are soft skills. I was extremely impressed with the dashboard provided. Amazing stuff! Without the use of the website, I was receiving requests for interviews every other week or two. Since using this service, I now have 3 requests for interviews in the same week. It’s now allowed ME to pick who I want to work for rather than choosing something because my choices are limited.
