CV PDF Tracking and Analytics Tools
I’m curious if anyone has experience using software that can send and track CVs and portfolios. Specifically, I’m looking for features that show if they’ve been opened, how long they were viewed, and if they were shared with others.
Understanding whether clients 1) open and 2) read entire CVs would be incredibly helpful. As I work in the healthcare sector, I encounter doctors with CVs that can exceed 20 pages. I’m wondering if a more concise format might lead to better engagement. Any insights or recommendations?

There are several tools available that can help you track and analyze how your CVs and portfolios are being received. Here are a few options you might consider:
DocSend: This platform allows you to upload documents and get insights on how they are viewed. You can see when a document was opened, how much time was spent on each page, and whether it was shared with others.
ClickSend: ClickSend offers document tracking capabilities. You can send your CVs through their system and receive analytics on open rates and engagement.
PDFTron: This offers a PDF tracking solution that helps you monitor document interactions. It’s more geared toward businesses, but could be adapted to your needs.
Google Analytics: While not specifically designed for CVs, if you host your CVs as web pages (like Google Sites or your personal website), you can track views and engagement through Google Analytics.
Mailchimp or similar email marketing tools: If you send your CVs via email, these tools can provide insights on open rates and engagement.
Regarding the length of CVs, many recruiters do prefer concise documents. In the healthcare field, especially with extensive experience, a longer CV can be appropriate, but a succinct version might yield better results initially. You could consider creating a shorter, tailored version of the CV for initial outreach, then provide the longer version upon request. This approach may increase engagement and prompt clients to reach out for the detailed version.
