Editorial brief - not publishable yet. This piece depends on data or personal material ByondCV does not have on file. Nothing here should be published until the underlying material exists.
The idea
How long people spend reading a CV versus a profile with a video.
What is needed before writing
Requires a measured comparison from real sessions. Brief only: measurement method, the single headline number and one chart.
Guardrails
- No invented numbers, quotes, testimonials or case studies.
- Any real person's material is used only with written consent and anonymised by default.
- Aggregated product data is reported only above a minimum sample threshold, never in a way that identifies an individual profile.
Next step
Gather the material, then commission the piece in English first and translate into German, Italian and French once the English version is signed off.
