A resume link built for developers
Updated June 6, 2026
Built-in view tracking
See when your resume is opened. A PDF attachment can never tell you that.
One stable URL
Update your resume anytime and the link stays the same. No more "final_v3.pdf".
Cleaner than an attachment
Share a tidy link that opens instantly in any browser, on any device.
As a developer, your work already lives at clean, linkable addresses. github.com/you, your portfolio domain, maybe a personal site you stood up once and rarely touch. Your resume should fit that same pattern: a single tidy URL you can drop next to your GitHub and update whenever you like. Emailing a PDF named resume_final.pdf feels out of step with how you ship everything else.
Your resume belongs next to your GitHub
Recruiters and engineering managers who find you usually start at your GitHub profile. The problem is that GitHub shows your code, not your story. The roles you've held, the systems you've owned, the context a repo can't convey. A resume link closes that gap.
Add a short link like rezume.so/yourname to your GitHub profile README or the bio link field, and anyone browsing your repos is one click from your full resume. It reads as deliberate, the same instinct that makes you write a good README.
Where developers share their resume link
The link slots into the places you already maintain:
- GitHub profile, in your README or bio link.
- Personal site or portfolio, linked from the footer or an "About" page instead of duplicating your resume in markup.
- LinkedIn, in your Featured section, where technical recruiters look.
- Recruiter DMs and referrals, where you can paste the link instead of attaching a file that might get caught in a corporate mail filter.
- Hackathons and conferences, where a memorable link is easier to share than a printout when someone asks what you're working on.
Why a link fits how developers work
You already think in terms of a single source of truth and shipping updates without breaking consumers. A resume link works the same way.
The URL is stable, so you can iterate on the content as freely as you push commits. Fix wording, add a new role, reorder projects, and every place you've shared the link reflects it right away. There's nothing to maintain. No site to keep building, no dependencies to patch, just a PDF you swap when you need to. And when you're actively interviewing, the view tracking tells you when a hiring manager actually opens your resume, which is genuinely useful signal for timing a follow-up.
Ship your resume like you ship code
Set up one link, point your GitHub and LinkedIn at it, and treat it as the canonical build of your resume. Update the artifact, keep the URL, exactly how you'd want a dependency to behave. Start by creating your resume link, or read more on getting a clean URL for your resume.
Frequently asked questions
Should I put my resume link on my GitHub profile?
Yes. A short resume link in your GitHub profile README, or in the bio link field, sits right next to your repos. Recruiters who land on your profile get an instant path to your full resume.
Do I still need a portfolio site for my resume?
Not for the resume itself. A hosted link gives you a clean URL without standing up and maintaining a site. If you already run a portfolio, add the resume link to it instead of rebuilding your resume in HTML.
Why not just send my GitHub instead of a resume?
GitHub shows your code, not your experience, your education, or the context behind your work. A resume link works alongside your GitHub. Recruiters usually want both, and a clean link lets you hand over each in one place.
Can I update my resume without regenerating the link?
Yes. The URL is stable, so you can iterate on your resume as often as you push commits. The link always points to the latest version and nothing downstream breaks.
