VitaeMap tells your story — on a map, a timeline and with indicators. The visual alternative to show who you are beyond the résumé. ## Why move beyond the LinkedIn CV ### A geolocated journey Every role, degree or mission sits on a map. Your mobility, your territories and your reach are visible at a glance. ### A real timeline Interactive timeline with variable precision. Transitions, turning points and achievements become a story, not just a list of dates. ### Meaningful indicators Impact, mastery level, satisfaction, custom metrics: show the depth of each experience, not just its title. ### Visible and shareable anywhere Indexed public link, access code, invitation, embed. You keep control of your story without relying on a closed social network. ## VitaeMap compared to LinkedIn Feature VitaeMap LinkedIn Structured professional profile Visual story on an interactive map Narrative chronological timeline Basic CV (PDF) import via AI Indicators (impact, level, satisfaction…) Multiple visualization modes 12+ modes List Multilingual versions of the journey Manual You own your data / your URL Social network & messaging Free to start ## Complementary, not a competitor ### Where LinkedIn stops Keep LinkedIn for networking and connections. Use VitaeMap as your living career portfolio, linked from your profile. ### One map per language With event versions, present your journey in English then in French without re-entering everything — ideal for an international search. ### A CV in 30 seconds Import your CV as a PDF: AI automatically generates a geolocated career map you only need to enrich. ### Be memorable A recruiter remembers an interactive map far more than yet another list of jobs. Stand out. ## Frequently asked questions Does VitaeMap replace LinkedIn? VitaeMap is not a social network: it has no messaging or networking.
