Six seconds. Here's what they saw.

Gapl reads your resume like a recruiter, then shows the line that sank it.

Sample resume (not a real candidate), marked the way a recruiter reads it in six seconds. Seen: IIT/NIT academic foundation — recognized tier; React and 450+ LeetCode problems. Marked in red: the only projects are coursework with no deployment, and there is no backend framework. Verdict for SDE Intern at a Product Startup: Reject.

Then it tells you why, in plain words.

Every report opens with the verdict a recruiter at that tier would give, the reason, and the one thing that would change their mind. The numbers come second, and each one shows its working.

Sample report · not a real candidate

Reject

Strong academics but missing deployed projects. Resume lacks evidence of real-world impact — no production systems, no GitHub contributions with meaningful stars, no backend depth.

What caught the eye
IIT/NIT academic foundation — recognized tier
What sank it
Zero deployed projects visible in resume
What would change it
One end-to-end deployed SaaS or API with documented impact (users, requests, uptime) would flip this to a shortlist.

Then it writes the fix back.

Every gap ends in something to build: a project a recruiter can open, how long it takes, and roughly where your readiness lands after it. Not a course. Not keyword stuffing.

65→78

Illustrative. Your report gives your own numbers, and a re-check confirms them.

Projects

  • CRUD app to add, edit and categorise expenses
  • Coursework project; runs locally

Coursework with no link. A recruiter can't check it, so it doesn't count.

Everything they'd tell you, if they had the time.

Read against one role at one kind of company, because an SDE intern at a startup is judged on different things than one at a mass recruiter.
