The Live CV: Your Work History Builds Itself

By planCoo · May 2026

The traditional CV is a snapshot in time — manually updated, quickly outdated, and impossible to verify. planCoo introduces the Live CV: a professional profile that builds itself automatically from your actual project participation.

How the Live CV Works

Every time you join a project on planCoo — as a team member, student collaborator, or company contributor — that project becomes a verified entry in your Live CV. The entry includes:

• Project name and description — what the project was about
• Your role — what you contributed and in what capacity
• Organisation — the company or university the project was with
• Timeline — when you were involved, automatically tracked
• Collaborators — who you worked with across organisations

No manual input needed. When the project runs in planCoo, your CV updates automatically.

Verified, Not Self-Reported

The critical difference between a Live CV and a LinkedIn profile is verification. On planCoo, your participation is recorded by the project itself — not self-reported. The company or university that ran the project owns the project data, so employers and partners can trust that the experience shown on your profile is real.

This is especially powerful for students working on Erasmus+ projects, thesis collaborations, or internship-adjacent work — experience that typically falls through the cracks of traditional CVs. Erasmus+ requires documentation of who did what in a project — Live CV captures this automatically and verifiably, producing exactly the kind of role and timeline record needed for dissemination reports and quality assurance.

Who Benefits Most

Your Public Profile

Every planCoo user gets a shareable public profile URL. Your Live CV is visible there — a living portfolio that updates as you work, not just when you remember to update your resume. Share it with employers, partners, or universities instead of attaching a PDF.
