Built in Berlin · Your data is never sold
The black hole of job applications.
You tailor your CV. You hit send. And then you enter the void — refreshing your inbox, wondering if anyone even looked at it, guessing when to follow up.
The average job application gets 7 seconds of recruiter attention. Most get zero. And you'd never know either way.
What if you could see exactly what happened after you hit send?
How it works
Three steps to full visibility.
Build or upload
Create your CV in our rich-text editor with drag-and-drop sections and live preview. Or drop in any PDF — our AI converts it into an editable CV in seconds.
Share a unique link
Generate a custom link for every company you apply to. cvbeacon.xyz/yourname/stripe, cvbeacon.xyz/yourname/google — each one tracked independently.
See everything
The instant a recruiter opens your CV, you get notified. See which sections they read, how long they spent, what device they used, and whether they came back for a second look.
Analytics
See what recruiters actually do with your CV.
Not just “opened” or “not opened.” Beacon shows you the full picture — section by section, second by second.
Section dwell time
PROSee exactly how long a recruiter spent on Experience vs Skills vs Education. Know what's landing and what's getting skipped.
Session timeline
PROA complete replay of every visit. Who opened it, when, for how long, and whether they came back.
Real-time notifications
Get alerted the instant someone opens your CV. In-app and by email.
Per-company tracking
Every link has its own analytics. See which companies are engaging and which went cold.

Link when you can. PDF when you need to.
Beacon fits into your actual workflow. Share a trackable link for direct outreach. Export a polished PDF for job portals. You always have both.
Share the link for
- Direct outreach to hiring managers
- Recruiter conversations on LinkedIn or email
- Your personal site, portfolio, or email signature
- Networking and referrals
Export the PDF for
- ATS portals (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
- Formal application forms
- Anywhere a file upload is required
The result: you get tracking on the applications that matter most — the ones where a real person is reading your CV, not a parser.
