Every tool here reports back
Someone did open it. They read part of it, stopped somewhere, and moved on — and that part is measurable. Everything below exists to show you where they stopped.
What gets measured
Start with the first cell. Seconds on each named section is the line no other product produces, and everything else on this page is either what makes it possible or what you do with it.
Ten sections, each timed on its own: how long they stayed, the order they moved in, and whether they went back to something a second time.
Dwell, order and re-reads per section — going back twice is the strongest signal there is
Write it in the editor and the page keeps its own labels underneath: this block is your experience, that one your education. Nothing has to be guessed later, which is why the reading can be measured section by section.
The preview you edit is the page a recruiter opens, labels and all
One list of the links you have sent, when each was opened and how it was read. A silent application becomes a fact instead of a feeling.
Opened, read, or never opened at all, against the role you sent it for
If most of their time went to one role, that is the role you will be asked about. The report tells you where to concentrate the night before.
The role they spent longest on is the one to rehearse first
Verified skills sit where a recruiter meets them first. Afterwards you can see whether that part of the page was read at all.
Verified skills, placed where the reading usually starts
Share the CV with a mentor or a friend before an employer sees it. Their reading is measured the same way, which makes “looks fine to me” rather more useful.

What you build it with
This half works the way any competent builder works. The difference is underneath: whatever you change, the section labels stay, so what can be measured never depends on what you picked.
Sidebar, timeline, editorial, monospace and the rest, re-voiced by typeface, rhythm and accent into the wider gallery. Every one emits the same section labels, so what you can measure never depends on which you pick.
Change the look without changing what can be measured
The editor scores your CV against what applicant tracking systems actually parse — headings, dates, contact details, the language of the posting — and names the line to change.
Scored as you type, with the specific heading or date format to correct
Paste in the job description and the matching pass compares its language against what you have written, then suggests the wording that closes the gap.
The words the posting uses, set beside the words you used
A mechanical pass for spelling, grammar and tone. Then a writing pass for summaries and bullets, for the lines that are technically correct and still say nothing.
Weak verbs and unquantified claims named line by line
Written from the posting and from what is already in your document, so the letter argues for the job instead of restating your work history.
Drawn from the posting and from the CV you already wrote here
PDF, Word, HTML and plain text. PDF export is on every plan including the free one, because a builder that holds your own CV hostage is not worth using.

What follows from it
Document trackers report a page number, and a CV is page one, so their answer is the total time you already had. Four things follow from measuring the sections instead — including one you may be about to ask about.
No email gate, no sign-in, no wall. Nothing works out who they are either — no fingerprinting, no lookup, no matching. Attention is stored against the document rather than a person, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are honoured automatically, and every tracked CV carries a visible notice. A name appears only where the reader typed one into the optional card, which they can ignore.
A reading nobody had to sign in to give you
Email, an application form, a message to someone inside the company. Nothing is embedded in a file, so nothing breaks when the file is re-saved or printed at the other end.
One link, always current, in any application you are already filling in
You cannot go back and find out how the CV you sent last Tuesday was read. That reading is gone. The next one is the first you can still keep.
Every untracked application is a reading you can never get back
The only question is whether you rewrite it from data or from a hunch. Move up what held them, cut what they never reached, and know which was which.
A rewrite with a reason behind it, and a way to check the reason held
The loop, drawn
An example CV, sent twice. The first reading showed Projects dying below the fold and Interests never reached, so between the sends Projects moved up and Interests came out — exactly the edit that reading argued for, and nothing else. The second trace is what that edit bought.
+17s total attention held on the second send
2s → 17s on Projects once it sat above the fold
1 → 0 sections never reached, after the cut
Sending somebody else’s CV to a client rather than your own? There is a separate page for that, with the desk, the four states and the report you can forward.
For agenciesWhy now, not later
Build the CV, send it as a link, then read which sections held them. The first CV is free, there is no card and no auto-renewing trial, and measurement starts on Professional.
