## 🛠️ How It Works

This tool uses a multi-faceted approach to analyze text without relying on large language models or external APIs:

1.  **Text Parsing**: A rule-based parser segments the resume into logical sections like `Education`, `Experience`, and `Skills`.
2.  **Skill Extraction**: The text is scanned against a comprehensive internal database of over 200 technical, business, and soft skills.
3.  **Scoring Algorithm**: Role matching is determined by a weighted score combining three factors:
    * **Skill Match Score (40%)**: The percentage of required skills found in the profile.
    * **Keyword Score (30%)**: The frequency of role-specific keywords (e.g., "M&A", "agile", "SEO") in the text.
    * **Text Similarity Score (30%)**: A TF-IDF-inspired cosine similarity calculation between the profile text and the role's description.
