We got tired of watching good people get filtered out by bad systems.
ACED started with a simple observation: the gap between a qualified candidate and a shortlisted one isn't talent — it's presentation. And that's a fixable problem.
This was a real student's story. Not underqualified. Not unlucky. Just invisible to systems that were never designed to notice them.
The game is rigged — but the rules are knowable.
Most resumes in India fail before a human ever reads them. Applicant Tracking Systems — the software recruiters use to filter hundreds of applications — reject anything that doesn't match a narrow pattern. Wrong keywords. Wrong formatting. No measurable outcomes.
The frustrating part? These aren't talent filters. They're formatting filters. And once you know the rules, you can play the game.
We built the diagnostic tool we wished existed.
Not a template generator. Not a word-count checker. A genuine diagnostic — five scores that map to how recruiters and systems actually evaluate resumes in the Indian market.
Each score comes with a gap breakdown — specific, actionable, honest. No vague suggestions. No "consider adding more keywords." We tell you exactly which keywords are missing, which bullets are weak, and why your market relevance score is 41.
Career intelligence shouldn't cost a month's rent.
Premium resume services in India charge ₹3,000–₹15,000 for a human rewrite that takes a week and may or may not understand your target role. We built the same capability — better, frankly — for ₹99, delivered in minutes.
Scoring is free. Always. No account needed. We believe every candidate deserves to know where they stand before they decide to invest in a rewrite.
