How to Use Resume One-Click Optimizer?

A guide for enhancing your resume effortlessly, improving your Resume Skill Score with just a single click.

Updated this week

Careerflow's One-Click Optimizer has been upgraded to offer smarter, more personalized resume tailoring. You can now select the specific skills you want to include, allowing the AI to align your resume more accurately with a job description, without irrelevant or forced keyword insertions. Whether you're a career coach or job seeker, this tool makes resume optimization faster and more precise.

⚠️ Note: This feature works only with Job-Tailored Resumes, where a job description is already linked to the resume.


What is the One Click Optimizer?

The One-Click Optimizer helps improve your Resume Skill Match Score by analyzing a job description and adjusting your resume to better reflect the keywords, required skills, and job title. With one click and minimal effort, it enhances your resume’s chances of passing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and getting noticed by recruiters.

🔎 Important: This tool does not affect your Resume Analysis Score. It focuses only on keyword alignment for Skill Score improvement.


Why Use the One Click Optimizer?

  • Skill Selection Control: Choose which keywords you want to include before optimization.

  • Higher ATS Match Rate: Improves keyword alignment with job postings.

  • Quick Optimization: Saves time, no manual searching for missing terms.

  • Transparency: See every change, compare before and after, and keep control over edits.

  • Tailored for All Levels: Useful for both early-career and experienced professionals.


What Changes Does the One Click Optimizer Make?

  • Remote & Relocation Tags:

    • Adds “Open to Remote” if your location is set to remote.

    • Adds “Open to Relocate” if your current location differs from the job location.

  • Target Job Title Update:
    Updates your current job title to align with the title of the position you're applying for.

  • Keyword Enhancements:
    Incorporates missing keywords from the job description to better reflect required skills.


Getting Started

Step 1: Open One-Click Optimizer

On your resume editor page, click the "One-Click Optimizer" button located in the top menu.

Step 2: Choose Relevant Skills

A list of matched skills will appear. Select the ones you want to include in your resume. You’re in control, pick only what matters. You can click to toggle the color/state of each keyword.

If you don’t select anything, the AI will use its best judgment to optimize the resume for you.

  • Dark Blue = Must Include – AI will definitely insert this keyword.

  • Light Blue = Might Include – AI may include this based on context.

Step 3: Confirm Keyword Exclusions

After selecting the keywords you want to include, you’ll be asked to confirm the ones you want to exclude from the resume.

You’ll see two types of exclusions:

  • Light Red = Might Exclude – AI may skip this keyword if it doesn’t fit contextually.

  • Dark Red = Must Exclude – AI will definitely not include this keyword in the resume

Optional: Tick the box to remember these exclusions for future scans of the same resume.

Step 4: Let AI Optimize

Give the AI a moment to tailor your resume using your selected keywords.

Step 5: Review Skill Matching Improvements

Once optimization is done, you’ll see your updated Skill Match score and new keyword highlights.

Step 6: Edit Manually (If Needed)

Review the AI’s suggestions. You can accept, reject, or manually edit the highlighted content.

Step 7: Compare Versions

Use the "Compare" feature to view changes made between your original and optimized resume.

Step 8: Finalize Resume

Click "Apply All and Continue" to accept the optimized version and move forward.

Step 9: Check Skill Match Score

Visit the Skill Match tab to view your improved score after applying the changes.

✏️ Always review the optimized version for accuracy. Make manual edits as needed to ensure clarity, tone, and accuracy.


Why Might Your Score Not Equal 100%?

Achieving a perfect score of 100% may not always be feasible. This can happen because not all keywords are relevant to your profile, or our AI may be unable to incorporate every necessary term. If you wish to refine your resume further, you can run the optimizer again on the already optimized version.


💡The enhanced One-Click Optimizer with skill selection empowers you to customize resume optimization while saving time and boosting relevance. You remain in full control, ensuring your resume reflects your strengths and aligns with job requirements. It's a smart way to increase your Skill Match Score and improve your chances of landing interviews, without losing your resume’s authenticity.
