Résumé attention telemetry

You wrote eight sections.They read two.

You have sent applications and heard nothing back, and nobody could tell you why. Resumetricx can. Share your CV as a link and you will see which sections a recruiter actually read, which ones they skipped, and where they stopped.

    INTENSITY
    An illustration of one reading. Share a tracked link and this board fills with your own.

    Then you fix the part that lost them, instead of rewriting the whole thing on a hunch.

    No card, no auto-renewing trial. One CV and one tracked link are free — read a real session before you decide anything.

    Reading is measured on links and PDFs you send yourself. A portal upload cannot report back.

    Why you never hear back

    You send it, and the loop closes.A yes, a no, or nothing at all — and never the reason.

    So you rewrite the summary, move a section, change the font, and send it again — and you still have no idea whether any of it mattered.Every version is a guess, because the only thing that ever comes back is the outcome. Here is what you are missing, one beat at a time.

    Step 1 of 4: You send it, and the loop closes

      You send it, and the loop closes

      The attachment leaves and that is the end of the information. Whatever happens next happens somewhere you cannot see, and the only thing that ever comes back is the outcome.

      It was open for four seconds

      You imagine someone reading it properly. Recruiters move fast, and the gap between the read you picture and the read that happened is where every wasted rewrite comes from.

      Half the page was never reached

      Something on your CV is costing you space and earning nothing, and it has been doing it for months. Until you can see where reading stopped, you have no way of knowing which half that is.

      And one line they read twice

      Going back to a paragraph is a stronger signal than lingering on it once — something there mattered enough to check again. Usually a date, a gap, or a claim that needed a second look.

    01 · The open

    Your CV is opened. Now it is being measured.

    Tuesday, 09:14, on a phone. Until now this is where your information ended — sent, opened, silence. This is where the trace begins.

    02 · The read begins

    Attention lands at the top, and holds.

    Four seconds on your name, eleven on the summary, thirty-eight on your current role. Recruiters front-load — the first screen earns the rest.

    03 · The fall-off

    Halfway down, the read goes cold.

    Education gets three seconds. Projects — the section you are proudest of — gets one. Interests is never reached at all. Nobody would have told you this.

    04 · The rewrite

    Move what matters into the read. Send it again.

    Projects moves under the summary; Interests is cut. Same person, same history, reordered by evidence — and the next trace holds thirteen seconds longer.

    The boards

    The same charts your dashboard draws.

    These panels are rendered by the product's own chart kit — the bars, the funnel, the punch card, the world map — not screenshots. Inside, they draw your readings; here, an illustration that says so.

    When they arrived

    Readings per day, a fortnight at a glance.

    The part nobody else does

    A one-page CV has one page and ten sections. Everyone measures the page.

    We went looking for anyone doing this — around seventy tools, fifteen markets, checked on each vendor’s own documentation rather than on review sites. Here is where they stop.

    • Document trackers

      DocSend · Papermark

      Time per page. A CV is one page, so that is one number — the same one you already had.

    To switch tracking off

    No user counts, no satisfaction scores, no star ratings. We would rather show you four numbers we can prove than four we cannot — which is, more or less, the entire product.

    The other reader

    Before a human reads it, a machine does.

    Most CVs meet an applicant tracking system before any recruiter. Resumetricx checks yours against what those systems look for — sections found, keywords matched, contact details verified — and scores what survives the scan, as you type.

    The drop-off

    Every reading starts at your name. Six in a hundred reach the bottom.

    Across a hundred tracked opens of one example CV, this is how far the readings got. The cliff is not rudeness — it is the budget your section order spends. Whatever sits low on the page is read by the few who make it there, so the first thing the instrument tells you is what has earned a higher slot.

    What you get

    Everything you need to write it. The one thing nobody else gives you to fix it.

    Templates, ATS checking and AI writing are the price of entry — you can get those anywhere, and you should expect them here. Everything below is the reason this exists, and it is what Professional is for.

    Section-by-section reading

    Seconds on each of ten sections, in the order they were read, including what was returned to and where reading stopped.

    What to fix, ranked

    Not a chart to interpret. A short list of changes worth making, each one carrying the readings it came from.

    Did the edit work?

    Compare two versions section by section, with a real significance test rather than a hunch about two averages.

    A named link per application

    One link per company, so every reading arrives already labelled — and an employer record showing who has gone quiet.

    Live, while it happens

    See that your CV is being read right now, and get an email the moment it is opened.

    Reader privacy

    Attention only. Nothing works out who the reader is, no keystrokes, and a visible notice on every tracked CV.

    Six measurements fit on a marketing page. The dashboard keeps the rest — return visits named, versions traced side by side, the record your reader actually left.

    Everything above is a worked example. The product is your own reading, and it starts on the first link you send.

    In every report

    Three signals, one reading.

    Dwell tells you what held them. Re-reads tell you what they were not sure about. Drop-off tells you where the CV stopped being read at all — and the third one is usually the one that changes what you write next.

    The middle one is worth pausing on: no other product on the market reports a re-read at all. We checked about seventy of them.

    Dwell — what held them

    Seconds per section, measured while the section is actually on screen. The current role holding 38 seconds and Education getting three is the difference between a CV that works and one that does not.

    Re-reads — what they doubted

    A recruiter scrolling back to a paragraph is a stronger signal than one dwelling on it once: something there mattered enough to check twice. Usually a date, a gap, or a claim that needed a second look.

    Drop-off — where reading stopped

    The point past which nothing was reached. Everything below it is costing you space and earning nothing, and until you can see it you have no way of knowing which half of the page that is.

    How it works

    Ten minutes to set up. Then it works while you do something else.

    You do not have to change how you apply. Build the CV once, send a link instead of an attachment, and the report is waiting the next time someone opens it.

    Templates

    Start from a page recruiters already read.

    Every template, across every base layout, is parseable by an applicant tracking system and instrumented, so whichever you pick still tells you how it was read. Pick by the job you are applying to, not by which one looks nicest — and change your mind later without rebuilding anything.

    The questions people actually have

    Yes, including that one.

    • No, and the design is what makes that answer hold rather than the promise. We record which sections of your document were on screen and for how long. Nothing tries to work out who the reader is — no fingerprinting, no lookup, no matching against a profile — and the attention is stored against the document rather than against a person, so there is no profile of a recruiter anywhere in the system to build one from. The one way a name can appear is a card on the document that asks the reader whether they want you to know they read it. They are free to ignore it, and most will.

      Compare that to the usual approach: most document-tracking tools make the reader hand over an e-mail address before they can open the file at all. We require nothing.
    • Yes. Every tracked CV carries a visible notice — not a footer nobody reads, an actual notice on the document — saying that reading is measured, what is measured, and how to stop it. Hiding it would make the whole thing indefensible, and it would also be pointless: the value here is knowing what a recruiter did, not doing it behind their back.
    • In one click, with no account, no form and no e-mail to anyone. If their browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal we honour it automatically before they arrive, and we do not offer ourselves a way to override that. Tracking runs on legitimate interests rather than consent, which means the right to object has to actually work — so we built it so that it does.
    • The time your CV was opened and for how long, seconds spent on each of ten sections, scroll depth, re-reads, the order the sections were read in, which of your links were clicked, which application link was used, device type, browser name, operating system, the page that linked to it, and the country the request came from. That is the list, and we keep it current rather than short. Nothing tries to work out who the reader is — but the viewer does offer them a card to say so if they want to, and if they fill it in you get exactly what they typed and nothing more. Not recorded, at any point: fingerprints, a city or any location narrower than a country, the IP address itself, browser version, screen size, other tabs, browsing history, or anything at all after they leave your CV.
    • Because a PDF has pages and no sections. A tracked file can tell you someone spent forty seconds on page one — and a CV is page one, so that number is just the session length wearing a different label. A hosted page knows that the block being read is your current role, which is the only version of this that tells you what to change.

      There is a practical reason too: pixel-tracked PDFs are trivially stripped by opening and re-exporting the file, and job seekers are actively being taught to do it.
    • The PDF you download is a normal, parseable PDF with selectable text and no tracking in it — that is the file you send when an application form demands an upload. The tracked link is for the times you e-mail a person directly, which is where a link works and an attachment tells you nothing. You get both from the same CV.

    Everything above is documented in full on our transparency page, which is also where a recruiter can switch tracking off in one click without an account.

    Why not next month

    Every application you send untracked is evidence you can never get back.

    There is no way to find out later how the CV you sent last Tuesday was read. The reading only exists if something was measuring while it happened. Whatever you send this week is either a data point or a guess, and you decide which one before you send it — not after.

    • You are going to rewrite it anyway

      Everyone does, several times, over a search that runs for months. The only real question is whether the next version comes from evidence or from a hunch — and that costs you nothing extra to decide.

    • The first read is the one worth having

      The most useful trace you will ever get is from an application you actually care about. Start before the job you want appears, not after you have already sent it the untracked version.

    • Free is where you build it

      One CV, a real PDF download with no watermark, no card and no auto-renewing trial. One tracked link too, with the whole reading report on it — so the record starts on your first application rather than on your first invoice.

    Why the x

    Solve for x.

    You know what you sent. You know what came back — usually nothing. The unknown has always been the part in between: what the person on the other end actually did with it. That is the x, it is the last letter of our name, and this is the only product that solves for it.
