What each tool does

Jobscan

Scans your resume against a job description and scores keyword and skill overlap against what applicant tracking systems look for. Built to help you pass automated filters at volume.

SkillsFrame

Analyzes fit against 70 positioning frames across 8 domains, then generates a tailored CV that builds a coherent narrative from your real experience — with every claim validated against your source CV.

Who each is for

Jobscan

Applicants at any level applying to a high volume of roles, where clearing an ATS keyword filter is the main obstacle.

SkillsFrame

Senior and experienced professionals — IC through VP — applying to a handful of carefully chosen roles, where the obstacle is standing out to a human reader, not passing a filter.

When each is the better choice

Jobscan is better when

  • You're applying to a high volume of roles and need to triage quickly
  • You want an explicit, itemized ATS keyword gap analysis
  • You're screening against US-market ATS conventions

SkillsFrame is better when

  • You're applying to a handful of senior roles where narrative matters more than keyword count
  • You need a tailored CV and interview positioning, not just a match score
  • You want fabrication prevention built in — every claim validated against your source CV

Frequently asked

Is SkillsFrame cheaper than Jobscan?

It depends on billing. Jobscan is $49.95/month billed monthly, or about $24.95/month billed annually, with a free tier of 5 scans/month (checked August 2026). SkillsFrame is €29/month with no annual commitment, and your first complete analysis is free. For an occasional, low-volume search, cost isn't really the deciding factor — the two tools solve different problems.

Does SkillsFrame do ATS keyword matching like Jobscan?

No. SkillsFrame doesn't optimize for keyword density. It scores fit against 70 positioning frames across 8 domains and generates a tailored CV that tells a coherent narrative, rather than one stuffed with matched terms.

Can I use Jobscan and SkillsFrame together?

Yes. Some senior professionals run a high-volume search with Jobscan's ATS checks, then use SkillsFrame separately for the handful of roles they care most about, where positioning matters more than keyword coverage.

Which one should I use for a senior-level job search?

If you're applying to a hundred roles and need to clear automated screens, Jobscan is built for that. If you're applying to a handful of roles where a human will read your CV and judge your narrative, SkillsFrame is built for that.

Start positioning, not optimizing.
