RoleWorth vs Jobscan — when each is the right tool.
Pick RoleWorth when you want the underlying decision (pursue / maybe / skip) and a full kit, not just keyword overlap. Pick Jobscan when keyword-match-rate is all you want to see. Jobscan is ATS-scanner-first; RoleWorth is decision-first.

FAQ
Is Jobscan's match score the same thing as a Worth Score?
No. Jobscan's match score measures keyword overlap between your resume and one job description. RoleWorth's Worth Score is a job-decision score: job specificity, liveness, ghost risk, source trust, salary clarity, logistics, and target-role constraints. Keyword overlap belongs downstream after the job earns the effort.
Will my resume pass an ATS with RoleWorth?
RoleWorth's ATS readiness check evaluates the same things Jobscan does (keyword coverage, parser-safe formatting) and adds proof-strength and requirement-coverage. Output is a readiness score plus the gaps that explain it.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some users keep Jobscan for a fast keyword-overlap second opinion and use RoleWorth for the decision and the kit. Most consolidate after a few weeks because the keyword score is already inside RoleWorth's coverage panel.
