Comparison
Looking for a Jobscan alternative?
Jobscan is good at one thing: scanning your résumé against a job description and scoring the keyword match. If a match score is all you want, it does that well. But a score tells you what is wrong, not how to fix it. You still have to do the rewriting yourself.
A score is the starting point, not the work
Knowing your résumé is a 62% match is useful for about a minute. What you actually want is for it to be tailored to the job, correctly, without inventing skills to chase the number. That is the real gap: going from "here is your score and your missing keywords" to "here is your résumé, tailored." A keyword report leaves that work on your desk, and the honest risk is that, to raise the number, people add tools and skills they cannot actually speak to in the interview.
ATS keyword scanner vs. Hired Copilot

|---|---|---|

| What you do next | You rewrite the résumé yourself to raise the score | The tailoring is done; you review and submit |
| Keyword honesty | Chasing a match score can tempt keyword-stuffing | Only uses experience you can back up in the interview |
| Scope | Résumé scanning and keyword optimization | Tailor + cover letter + tracker + interview prep |
| After you apply | The scan is done; you track applications elsewhere | Built-in tracker flags applications that go silent |
