Summary

re:Scan is a resume scanner that takes in a resume and parses through it for keywords. It then parses through a web page's job description with the click of a button and provides a general summary that includes a similarity score, keyword comparisons, and suggestions. The parsed resume persists through multiple clicks, so there is no need to upload a new resume every time one wants to compare their resume to a job description. While the extension is geared towards helping job-seekers, it is also useful for recruiters who are curious about an applicant's resume's fit.

User reviews
The similarity score is kind of neat, and it's nice to know which keywords show up most often bewteen two docs. The suggested keywords seem a little generic though.
