Résumé attention telemetry
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.
Then you fix the part that lost them, instead of rewriting the whole thing on a hunch.
Free to start. No card required.
Why you never hear back
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
01
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.
Without measurementRewrite the summary and hope
With ResumetricxSee the open, the device and the dwell
02
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.
Without measurementNever learn the CV was opened for four seconds
With ResumetricxFind the section that loses every reader
03
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.
Without measurementKeep a section nobody has ever reached
With ResumetricxCut what is never reached
04
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.

Status
OPENED · 09:14
01 · The open
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
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
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
Projects moves under the summary; Interests is cut. Same person, same history, reordered by evidence — and the next trace holds thirteen seconds longer.
The trace
Every open produces a trace. On the left, the read as it happened; on the right, what the instrument recorded. Tall and hot means held; short and cold means skipped.

The other reader
Most CVs meet an applicant tracking system before any recruiter. Resumetricx parses yours exactly the way the ATS will — sections found, keywords matched, contact verified — and scores what survives the scan.
Check your CVThe drop-off
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.
See what gets measuredWhat you get
A hundred 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.
Seconds on each of ten sections, in the order they were read, including what was returned to and where reading stopped.
Not a chart to interpret. A short list of changes worth making, each one carrying the readings it came from.
Compare two versions section by section, with a real significance test rather than a hunch about two averages.
One link per company, so every reading arrives already labelled — and an employer record showing who has gone quiet.
See that your CV is being read right now, and get an email the moment it is opened.
Attention only. Nothing works out who the reader is, no keystrokes, and a visible notice on every tracked CV.
In every report
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Start from a template, upload an existing CV, or import your LinkedIn export.
Send one link per application instead of an attachment you never hear about again.
Watch which sections hold attention and which get skipped.
A ranked list of changes worth making, each with the readings behind it — then compare versions to see whether the edit actually worked.
Templates
A hundred templates over nineteen base layouts, every one of them parseable by an applicant tracking system and every one 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 part nobody else does
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.
DocSend · Papermark
Time per page. A CV is one page, so that is one number — the same one you already had.
resume.io · VisualCV
That it was opened, and at best how long in total. Never which parts.
hh.ru · Naukri · InfoJobs
Who opened it and when. Free almost everywhere, which is why we do not sell it.
Including the four things we are not better at.

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 questions people actually have
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
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.
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 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.
One CV, a real PDF download with no watermark, no card and no auto-renewing trial. Building costs nothing for as long as you like; measurement is what Professional adds, and you can see exactly what it measures before you pay for it.
Why the 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.

No reply, 11 days
Eleven days, and no way to know what happened in them.
Three opens on the clock, inside eleven days that felt empty. Example report.
Build your CV, share one link instead of an attachment, and read what the recruiter actually did with it. Building takes about ten minutes and the first CV is free; reading what came back is Professional.
