Tracer Links (Resume link clicks)
HustlerFree, opt-in, off by default, and withdrawable anytime — withdrawing also stops links inside PDFs you already sent.
Opt-in per resume: the links inside your PDF route through PrepMyRez so you can see when they're clicked — evidence, not certainty.
What Is This?
Tracer links are an opt-in signal for resumes you send. When tracing is on for a resume, every http(s) link inside the generated PDF — LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio — routes through a PrepMyRez redirect, and when someone clicks, you see the click count and date in the tracing dialog. In Apply Kit, clicks also land on that application's tracker timeline. Tracing is off by default, set per resume, and withdrawing revokes the live links — including inside PDFs already in the wild.
How to Use
Turn it on before you download
The 'Trace links' pill sits in the resume preview toolbar in the builder and in Apply Kit's preview controls.
Read clicks honestly
The tracing dialog lists each tracked link with its click count and last click time.
Bind to the application (Apply Kit)
Tracing inside Apply Kit binds to that tracker application, so clicks appear on its History timeline.
Withdraw anytime
Turning tracing off revokes the live links immediately.

What to Expect
- Click counts and last-click times per link, in the tracing dialog
- Apply Kit clicks appearing on that application's tracker timeline
- A withdraw that also stops links inside PDFs you already sent
Good to Know
- No open-recognition: downloads and opened PDFs are invisible — only link clicks register
- No IP addresses, user agents, or location — nothing to profile a reader with
- No guarantee a click means a human read it — some viewers prefetch every link
Tips & Common Mistakes
Turn tracing on for every resume you send — it's off by default and costs nothing.
One live token per link per application, so re-downloading your resume never breaks a PDF already sent.
