Reactive Resume can publish your resume at a public URL. Anyone with the link can open it, so you can send it to recruiters, collaborators, or people visiting your portfolio. Public resume URLs are not search-indexed by default.

​
What public sharing gives you

Always up-to-date

Viewers always see the latest version of your resume. No need to send new files when you make updates.

Track engagement

See public view counters in the builder.

Password protection

Optionally require a password so only people you trust can access your resume.

Easy to share

One URL you can paste into an email signature, LinkedIn, a portfolio, or a job application.

​

Open your resume in the builder

Copy your public URL

Your public URL is displayed below the toggle. It follows this format:
Click the copy button to copy the URL to your clipboard.
The {slug} is the unique, URL-safe name you assign to your resume when you create it. If you want to change your slug, go to the dashboard, right-click your resume card, and choose “Update” to edit its details.

​
How the public URL works

When someone visits your public resume URL:
  1. They see the live version. The page renders your current resume data, including your latest changes.
  2. No account is required. Visitors don’t need a Reactive Resume account to view or download your resume.
  3. They can download a PDF. The public page shows an identity header with your name, headline, and picture, plus a Download PDF action.
  4. Link previews work. Reactive Resume generates per-resume Open Graph and Twitter card previews, so links you paste into LinkedIn, Slack, iMessage, and similar apps show your name and headline instead of a generic placeholder.
  5. Views are tracked. Visits are counted in your resume statistics (see below).
Changes you make in the builder show up immediately on the public URL. There is no separate “publish” step. Treat the link as something you send to people directly, not as a search profile page.

​
Resume language

Set Page → Language in the builder’s right sidebar to choose the language of default section headings. Public visitors and PDF downloads use this saved resume language, even when the visitor’s app interface uses another language. Section titles you rename remain as written. The interface language selected in Preferences is stored in the current browser. It does not change the resume’s language or sync to other browsers.

​
Tracking public engagement

When your resume is public, Reactive Resume counts public views, so you can tell whether people are opening the link you shared.

​
Where to find statistics

In the resume builder, open the right sidebar and select Statistics. You’ll see public view information such as: Each metric also shows a 30-day sparkline and the change against the previous period, so you can see whether interest rose or fell after you shared the link.
Statistics are only shown after public sharing is enabled. If you turn off public access, existing stats are preserved.

​
What counts as a view?

A view is counted each time someone loads your public resume page. This includes:
  • Direct visits to your public URL
  • Clicks from links you’ve shared
Owner self-visits while you are signed in to your account are not included in the view statistics.
Only you can see your resume’s view statistics. Visitors to your public URL cannot see how many views your resume has.

​
Password protecting your resume

To share your resume with specific people while keeping it away from everyone else, add password protection. When password protection is enabled:
  • Visitors must enter the correct password to view your resume
  • The password prompt appears before any resume content is shown
  • You can share the password separately with trusted individuals

​
How to set a password

1

Enable public access

First, make sure Allow Public Access is turned on in the Sharing section.
2

Click Set Password

Below the public URL, click Set Password.
3

Enter your password

Type a password (6-64 characters) and confirm it. Viewers have to enter this password to see your resume.
4

Share the password separately

Share the password with your intended audience through a secure channel (e.g., direct message, email).
Choose a password you’re comfortable sharing. Anyone with the password can view and download your resume.

​
How to remove password protection

If you no longer need password protection:
  1. Go to the Sharing section in the right sidebar
  2. Click Remove Password
  3. Confirm the action
Your resume is then open to anyone with the public URL.

​
Use cases for public sharing

Add your public resume URL to your LinkedIn profile’s Featured section or Contact Info. Recruiters can view your detailed resume directly.
Include your resume link in your email signature, so anyone you write to can open it.
Embed or link to your resume from your personal website. The link always shows your latest resume.
Some applications accept a link to your resume, while others require a file upload. Use the public URL when a link is accepted, and export a PDF when an upload is required.
Share your resume URL via QR code or NFC. Update the resume before the event and everyone gets the current version.
Use password protection to share your resume only with specific recruiters while keeping it hidden from your current employer.

​
Turning off public access

To make your resume private again:
  1. Go to the Sharing section in the right sidebar
  2. Turn off the Allow Public Access switch
When public access is disabled:
  • Your public URL returns a “not found” error
  • Existing links stop working immediately
  • Your statistics are preserved (they’ll resume if you re-enable public access)
  • Password protection settings are preserved
To hide your resume temporarily, use password protection instead of turning off public access. The URL stays active for people who have the password.

​
Copying the URL from the builder dock

The builder dock has a Copy URL shortcut. It copies the same public URL shown in the Sharing section.
Copying the URL does not enable public access. Turn on Allow Public Access in the Sharing section before sending the link to someone else.

No. By default, public resume URLs are meant for human recipients who receive the link from you, not as search profile pages. If you want tighter access control, use password protection or keep your resume private.
No. If you are signed in as the owner, your own visits are excluded from the view statistics.
No, Reactive Resume tracks public view counts, not the identity of visitors. This protects visitor privacy.
Your public URL changes to match the new username, and the old URLs stop working immediately. Update any links you have already shared.
