Video links

Send a personal video with every application, forward viewers to your portfolio and see who watched.

A video link is a unique URL like https://cvinfo.me/portfolio/8f3c…/ for one application. The recruiter sees your video on a clean page, then continues to the address you chose.

Create a video link#

1. Go to Dashboard → Create video link.
2. Enter the company and position.
3. Optionally enter a redirect URL — where viewers go after the video (your portfolio, LinkedIn or your cvinfo link page). Without one, your profile's default is used.
4. Choose the length: 2 minutes (2 credits) or 5 minutes (5 credits).
5. Pick a video — one you have used before, or a new upload. New uploads are checked by our moderation before they go live; a video you have already used is live straight away.

What recruiters see#

• Your video plays on a page with your name. A skip button appears after a few seconds (you choose when).
• Afterwards they are forwarded to your redirect URL.
• If you added references, recruiters can leave their email to unlock them — you receive their contact.

Tracking#

For every link you see opens, plays, watch time and captured contacts on Links & Analytics. Use it to time your follow-up.

Limits and settings#

Redirects to domains on our allowlist go live immediately; other addresses are reviewed by a moderator first.

Your videos#

Videos live in one place: Dashboard → Videos. Upload a recording once, it is reviewed once, and you can then put it on as many application links and pages as you like — the same introduction for every company, or a different one where it matters.

• A video is only shown to visitors once it has been approved.
• Swapping the video on a link uses one of that link's two edits; the first choice is free.
• A 2-credit link can only show a video of up to two minutes; 5-credit links allow five.
• Deleting a video removes it from every link that used it, and those links then show no video at all — nothing falls back to another recording.
• Deleting a link never deletes the video.

Tips for a good application video#

• Keep it to 45–90 seconds: who you are, why this role, one proof point.
• Look into the camera, use daylight, and record a clean audio track.
• Record one strong general video and reuse it, then add a special one for the job you want most.
