Did anyoneeven open it?

Beacon can't make them reply. It can tell you whether they read it, so you know when to follow up, and when to let it go.

How it works

One link per application.

Anatomy of a Beacon link: cvbeacon.xyz, then your name, then the company you're applying to.
cvbeacon.xyzAlways Beacon.
/janeYour name.
/stripeOne per application. /linear, /n26, /figma: each one tracked on its own.

    Make your CV.

    Write it in the builder, or drop in the PDF you already have and we'll turn it into an editable CV.

  2. 02

    Make a link for each application.

    Send the link wherever a person will read it. Applying through a portal? Export a clean PDF instead.

  3. 03

    Know where you stand.

    Get an email the moment a link is opened. See how long they spent with it, and whether they came back.

What the recruiter sees:your CV, a download button, and a one-line note that the page measures engagement. They don't need an account.

Paste the job description. Get edits, not advice.

Example of AI tailoring: keywords found in a job description, and a suggested edit to a CV line shown as tracked changes.

The job description

…you'll own our design system end to end, partner with engineers who write TypeScript, and run user research every sprint…

Your CV, with suggestions

Worked on the design system. Built and ran the design system six product teams use, from research to TypeScript components.

  • + Add TypeScript to Skills. The posting mentions it 4 times.
  • + Move the design system work to the top of Experience.
  • + Name a research method you've used, not just “research”.

The fine print, up front.

  1. §1Your CV data is never sold.
  2. §2Recruiters see your CV, a download button and a short note that the page measures engagement. They don't need an account.
  3. §3You're told which link was opened, not who opened it. /jane/stripe means someone with that link, usually at Stripe.
  4. §4Location stops at the country. No cities, no maps.
  5. §5Turn any link off, any time. On Pro, add a password, an expiry date or a view limit.

Your visit, read back to you.

While you read, this page did what Beacon does for your CV: it noted which parts held your attention, and which you skimmed.

This is the kind of record you get every time someone opens one of your links.
