What is this page?

You followed a link from a personal application page. A job seeker built it for one specific application — the one they sent you — using Resume Computer, a tool that turns a person’s resume into a structured record of their experience and lays it out against the requirements in a job posting.

Who made it

The candidate did. Their name is in the page’s footer, and every claim on it was reviewed by them before it was published. The company the page addresses did not publish it, endorse it, or take part in making it. The footer on every page says this too, and the candidate cannot remove that footer.

Why it looks like the company’s website

The palette and tone are borrowed on purpose, the way a well-prepared cover letter borrows a company’s vocabulary. It is a courtesy to the reader, not a claim of affiliation. The line is drawn at identity: the tool never uses a company’s logo, wordmark, or name in a way that suggests the company wrote it, and it never places the page on a domain that resembles the company’s. If a page crosses that line, tell us and we will take it down.

Whether you can trust what it says

Every statement on a generated page has to trace back to something the candidate wrote down about their own experience — a role, a project, a number, a story. The software that assembles the page is not allowed to invent a claim, and it refuses to publish a page containing one it cannot source. It phrases and arranges; the facts are the candidate’s, and the candidate is accountable for them exactly as they would be for a resume.

The “matching resume” the page offers is a complete, conventional one-page resume derived from the same material, in plain formatting your applicant-tracking system can read.

What opening it recorded

The address you opened exists for this one application, so opening it tells the candidate that this application was looked at. Specifically, the page notes:

• that it was opened, and roughly when;
• country and region — never a city, never an address;
• whether it was read — time on the page and how far it was scrolled;
• device type, so the candidate knows whether it rendered on a phone;
• a one-way hash of your network address, salted with a value that changes daily, so that opening it again the same day can be recognised as a return. It cannot be turned back into an address and is useless after the day ends.

It does not record who you are. No name, no email, no employer, no account. There are no cookies, no third-party scripts, no advertising or analytics vendors — the page talks only to the server that serves it. Automated scans from mail security scanners and applicant-tracking crawlers are identified and shown to the candidate separately, so they are not mistaken for a person.

What the candidate sees is a line like “read for two minutes from California, on a laptop”. That is the whole of it.

Why the page isn’t on Google

Pages are never indexed and there is no public directory of them. Many people look for work while employed, and a page their current employer could find would do real harm. Only someone the candidate sent the address to can reach it.

If something is wrong

If you represent the company named on a page and object to it, or you believe a page misrepresents something, write to hello@resumecomputer.com. Takedown requests from a named company are acted on the same day.
