Career, Resume & HR Tools
Fifteen private, browser-based tools for job seekers and HR teams: check a resume against an ATS and a job description, build cover letters and STAR answers, compare offers, set freelance rates, and plan hours, leave and shifts.
About these tools
A resume, a salary and a staff rota are some of the most personal documents people handle, so every tool in this collection runs in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a2z.tools, stored or used to train anything, and there is no account to create.
The resume tools explain their scores rule by rule rather than hiding behind a single number: an applicant tracking system is a parser plus a recruiter's search, not a secret grader, and the useful question is whether your text can be read and found. The pay and time calculators show their formulas, and where a figure depends on local law - notice periods, overtime, leave accrual - the page says which rules it applies and where to check your own.

All Career, Resume & HR Tools
- Resume ATS Score Checker Check how an applicant tracking system is likely to read your resume: section headings, contact details, dates, parse-hostile layout and keyword coverage, with every deduction explained and nothing uploaded.
- Resume Job Description Matcher Compare your resume with a job description: matched and missing skills, required versus preferred terms, seniority and qualification signals, and where each match appears in your text.
- Resume Keyword Optimizer Plan where target keywords belong in a resume - summary, skills, recent roles - see current frequency and placement, and get warnings for stuffing, unsupported claims and missing context.
- Cover Letter Builder Build a cover letter from your own achievements and the role's requirements: a structured opening, evidence paragraphs, a close, length and tone checks, and DOCX, text or print output.
- Interview Question Practice Generator Build a practice set of behavioural, situational and role-specific interview questions from a curated bank and your job description, then drill with a timer and notes that stay in your browser.
- STAR Interview Answer Builder Turn an experience into a STAR interview answer: guided Situation, Task, Action and Result fields, balance and length checks, a measurable-result prompt and a speaking-time estimate.
- Salary Offer Comparator Compare two to five job offers side by side: base, bonus, equity vesting, benefits, commute cost and time, and cost-of-living adjustment, with each offer's effective annual value and hourly equivalent.
- Total Compensation Calculator Add up a total compensation package: base pay, target and expected bonus, equity by vesting schedule and cliff, employer retirement match and benefits, year by year for four years.
- Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator Work out a sustainable freelance hourly and day rate from your target income, business costs, taxes, time off and the share of hours you can actually bill, with the formula and a utilisation table.
- Employee Cost Calculator Estimate the full annual and hourly cost of an employee: salary, employer payroll contributions you enter, benefits, equipment, software, space and recruiting, with cost per productive hour.
- Leave Accrual Calculator Calculate paid leave accrued per pay period or per hour worked, with part-year starts, caps, carry-over limits and leave taken, and see the balance on any future date.
- Timesheet Hours Calculator Add up a weekly timesheet with start and end times, unpaid breaks, overnight shifts and rounding rules, split into regular and overtime hours, and export it as CSV or print it.
- Shift Schedule Planner Plan a rotating shift schedule - 2-2-3, 4-on-4-off, DuPont or your own pattern - see coverage by day and shift, hours per person, rest gaps, and export the rota as CSV or calendar file.
- Notice Period Date Calculator Find your last working day from the date notice is given and a notice period in days, weeks or months, with calendar or working-day counting, holidays you list and garden-leave notes.
- Skills Gap Matrix Builder Build a team skills matrix: rate people against required skills and target levels, see gaps as a heatmap, find single points of failure, and export the matrix and a training plan.
