Read.cv alternative: a new home for your CV
If you’re looking for a Read.cv alternative, you probably had a clean profile and personal site there, and it no longer has a home. Speak2MyCV turns the CV you already have into a public page that answers visitors’ questions from it, and on Solo and Pro, a personal website too.
Read.cv was a professional profile and social platform. People shared their CV, posted and messaged others in their field, and could publish a personal website from their profile, with an optional .cv domain. Perplexity acquired Read.cv in January 2025 and the service wound down; users could export their profiles, posts and messages until 16 May 2025, and .cv domains moved to Hello.cv. As reported by TechCrunch on 17 Jan 2025.
