We don't track your eyes. We model how recruiters scan a resume layout, based on the Ladders 2018 eye-tracking study + 400+ Indian HR scan-pattern interviews.
This is a free resume heatmap simulator that shows you exactly what a hiring manager sees (and ignores) during the 6-second initial scan. You upload your resume as a PDF. The tool renders page 1 onto a canvas in your browser and overlays a heatmap calibrated to published eye-tracking research on recruiter behaviour. Hot zones are where attention lands. Cold zones are where it never reaches — meaning that content is functionally invisible during the first pass.
After the heatmap renders, Gemini AI analyses the text inside the cold zones and suggests rewrites that move your most important credentials into the hot path. The full resume is never uploaded to a server — only the cold-zone text is sent for rewrite suggestions.
That is roughly 5.2 seconds — and the remaining 0.8 second is spent on a final scroll/glance. Everything not on this path is invisible during round one.
The "6-second rule" comes from a Ladders eye-tracking study of 30 professional recruiters reviewing 7,500 resumes. Median time on first scan: 7.4 seconds. Indian recruiters trend faster — 5-6 seconds — because Indian application volume per role is 4–10x higher than US benchmarks. A typical mid-level role at an Indian SaaS company will receive 800–2,500 applications; the recruiter cannot spend 30 seconds per resume even if they wanted to.
The implication is sharp: if your most important credential (current title, top company, biggest result) is not in the top third of page 1, the recruiter will not see it on the first pass. They will either keep your resume for a second look (rare) or reject it — and the decision is final.
The Ladders eye-tracking study found recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds on initial screening. Indian recruiters trend faster — 5–6 seconds — because Indian application volumes are 4–10x higher per role. This tool simulates that 6-second scan.
Eye-track data shows a consistent F-pattern: name + current title (top-left), most recent company + dates, first bullet under latest role, education, skills section. Everything outside this path is functionally invisible during round one.
Upload your resume as PDF. The tool renders page 1 to a canvas in your browser, then overlays a heatmap based on visual attention research. Gemini AI analyses the cold-zone text and suggests rewrites to move important content into hot zones.
Yes, completely free. Your resume is rendered locally in your browser using PDF.js. Only text from cold zones is sent to Gemini for rewrite suggestions — your full resume is never uploaded.
Shorthand for eye-tracking research showing recruiters make initial keep/reject decisions on a resume in 5–7 seconds. If your most important credential is not in the top third of page 1, the recruiter never sees it during the first pass.
Name + target role title (not generic "Job Seeker"), one-line professional summary with your strongest credential, most recent job with company + role + dates, and the first bullet under that role with a quantified achievement.
The free tool rewrites cold-zone sections of page 1 only. For a full human-written rewrite by an HR who recruits in your industry, book a Resume Review at ₹199 — turnaround 24–48 hours with two rounds of feedback.
