ABOUT

I got rejected by a bot.
So I built a better one.

I spent three months sending out resumes. I had the skills.
I had the experience. I knew the tech stack inside out.
I heard back from almost nobody.

A friend told me about ATS systems. I'd vaguely heard the term.
I looked into it and realised my resume was being filtered out
automatically — before a single person read my name.
The keywords were wrong. The formatting had issues.
I was targeting Senior roles with a Junior-framed resume.

I tried the tools that existed. Jobscan wanted $50 a month.
ChatGPT could help if I knew exactly what to ask — I didn't.
The free tools gave me generic advice that applied to everyone
and therefore applied to no one.

So I built PassTheBot. First for myself, then for friends
who had the same problem. It's not a VC-backed startup with
a growth team and a press release. It's a tool that does one
thing well: tells you exactly why your resume isn't working —
and fixes it.

I check the feedback inbox personally. I update the product
based on what real users tell me. I don't sell your data.
I don't train AI on your resume. If something breaks,
I fix it the same day.

(I also occasionally fight crime. Unrelated.)

That's the whole story.

What I believe

"Job seekers deserve to know exactly why they're being rejected — not just that they are."

"AI should make your resume sound more like you, not less."

"A tool built in India should be priced for India, not priced for Silicon Valley."

Say hello.

If you have feedback, a bug report, a feature request, or just
want to tell me the tool helped — I read every email.
