Create an account

If you don’t have one yet, sign up at matchr.in with email/password or Google. New accounts start with 15 free credits, enough to run several job analyses and still try the resume optimizer once.

​
Get an API key

The extension connects to your account with an API key, not your email and password.
1

Open API keys in the dashboard

Sign in at matchr.in and go to API keys in the sidebar.
2

Create a key

Click Create key. Copy it immediately, it’s only shown once.
3

Paste it into the extension

Open the Matchr side panel on any LinkedIn job posting, paste the key into the connect field, and click Connect.

​
Upload your resume

Once connected, the panel asks for a resume if you haven’t uploaded one yet.
  • Supported formats: PDF and DOCX, up to 10MB.
  • Matchr reads the file, extracts the text, and scores its formatting and content quality alongside every job match, so you’ll see both a match score and a sense of how ATS-friendly the resume itself is.
  • You can upload more than one resume over time and switch which one is active without re-uploading, see Switching between resumes.
Resumes page in the Matchr dashboard
If your resume uses a complex, multi-column, or heavily designed layout, Matchr reads it visually (page by page) rather than as a raw text dump, so the extracted text keeps the right reading order instead of scrambling side-by-side sections together.
Once a resume is uploaded, you’re ready to see it in action, open any LinkedIn job posting and the panel will show your match score automatically.
