ATS scores vs.
the full picture.
Jobscan specializes in ATS optimization — scanning your resume against a job description and scoring keyword matches. Just Hired does that too, and adds intelligence, application execution, and a Chrome extension that files your applications for you. Here's exactly what that means in practice.
Where Jobscan earns its reputation
Jobscan has a strong track record on ATS optimization. If your primary need is improving your resume's keyword match score before you apply, it's a focused, well-built tool for that specific task.
- Deep ATS keyword analysis — match rate scoring
- LinkedIn profile optimization scanner
- Cover letter keyword matching
- Resume formatting analysis
- Hard skills and soft skills gap identification
Where Just Hired takes it further
Just Hired starts where Jobscan ends. It covers ATS keyword optimization — but it also gives you the intelligence to evaluate jobs before you apply, and the execution layer that files every application in minutes.
- ATS keyword injection into a natural professional summary (not a keyword list)
- Recruiter's View — gap analysis scored by category, with your specific experience mapped
- Insider Intel — the context behind the job posting Jobscan's scanner can't see
- Chrome extension fills any company career form — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever — in one click
- Alignment score on job cards so you prioritize before you optimize

What ATS scoring doesn't cover
Jobscan scans the resume you have. Just Hired rewrites it.
Jobscan tells you what keywords are missing. Just Hired's AI actually rewrites your bullet points using those keywords in context — in the language and priority order of the specific role. You get a higher ATS score, and a resume that reads better to a human recruiter.
No ATS scanner tells you why they're hiring or what the culture is really like
Insider Intel analyzes the full posting for things keyword scanning doesn't capture: whether the title matches the duties, what hiring trigger is driving this search, and what phrases like "fast-paced, collaborative environment" actually mean in practice. That's the context that changes whether you apply.
Optimizing your resume is half the battle. Filing the application is the other half.
Jobscan ends when your resume is optimized. Just Hired's Chrome extension fills the application form itself — in one click, with your AI-prepared answers for open-ended questions already staged. The 45-minute application becomes 3 minutes. That's the part no resume scanner addresses.
Which one fits your search?
ATS optimization is your specific, isolated need
- You already have a job search workflow you're happy with
- You want to audit an existing resume's keyword density before submitting
- LinkedIn profile optimization is a priority for you
- You apply to fewer roles but want each application deeply optimized
You need the full workflow, not just one piece
- You want to find, evaluate, and apply to roles — in one system
- You need ATS optimization AND resume tailoring AND application execution
- You're tired of spending an hour on every application form
- You want to understand what a job posting actually means before investing in it
- You want intelligent networking running in the background while you apply
