What is VisualCV?
VisualCV combines traditional resume PDF generation with optional online resume URLs so candidates can share a single tracked link.
Analytics can encourage over-optimization—treat view counts as weak signals compared to interview conversion and feedback quality.

VisualCV FAQs
- Should I send only a VisualCV link instead of a PDF?
- Follow each employer instruction literally. Many portals still require PDF upload even if you also share a portfolio link.
- Do view analytics prove recruiter interest?
- They show opens, not intent. Combine with human follow-up and interview signals.
