You Can Now Import a Job Posting by Pasting Its URL

Scanning your resume against a job starts with the job description — and copying and pasting one out of a browser tab has always been the most tedious part of using ResumeChkr. Today we're shipping a fix: paste the job posting's URL instead, and we'll pull the text in for you.

How it works

Above the job posting box on the scan page, there's now a field for a URL. Paste a link to the posting, hit Fetch, and the text drops into the box below — ready to edit if anything needs cleaning up, and ready to scan.

Where it works best

This pulls in content the way the job site actually serves it, so it works well on most company career pages and boards like Lever. A few large job boards — most notably Greenhouse's newer listings — load the actual posting in via JavaScript after the page opens, so there's nothing for a simple fetch to find yet. On those, pasting the text directly still works exactly as it always has.

Why we built it this way

This runs entirely on our servers rather than in your browser — partly because most sites block that kind of cross-site request outright, and partly so we can lock down exactly what it's allowed to fetch: no internal addresses, no unexpected redirects, no unbounded page sizes.

We'll keep expanding coverage as we come across more job boards worth special-casing. If a site you use regularly doesn't pull in cleanly, let us know.
