Status Tracking
Never lose track of where each application stands. Monitor your progress from initial interest through to offer with clear, visual status indicators.
Application Statuses
Track your job search journey with clear status indicators. Each status helps you understand where you are in the process and what comes next.
Interested
You've found a role you're interested in. Save it and start preparing your application.
In Progress
You're actively working on the application—tailoring your CV, writing a cover letter, or gathering documents.
Applied
Application submitted. Set a follow-up date to check in or wait for a response.
Interviewing
You're in the interview process. Track multiple rounds and add notes after each interview.
Offered
You've received an offer! Review the details and decide whether to accept or negotiate.
Accepted
Congratulations! You've accepted the offer. Keep this record for your career history.
Rejected
Application wasn't successful this time. Keep the record for reference and learn from the experience.
Withdrawn
You've withdrawn your application. Useful to track if you changed your mind or found another role.
Why track status?
Status tracking transforms your job search from a scattered collection of applications into a clear, manageable process. Here's how it helps you stay on top of everything.
See progress at a glance
When you're managing multiple applications, it's easy to lose track of where each one stands. With status tracking, you can instantly see how many applications are at each stage—how many you've just applied to, how many are in the interview process, and which ones have resulted in offers.
This visual overview helps you prioritise your time. You'll know immediately which applications need follow-up, which ones are moving forward, and which ones might need a gentle nudge. No more scrolling through endless lists or trying to remember what happened with each application.
Stay organised
Job searching can feel chaotic, especially when you're applying to multiple roles across different companies and platforms. Without a system, it's all too easy to forget where you've applied, lose track of important deadlines, or miss follow-up opportunities.
Status tracking gives you a centralised place to manage everything. Filter by status to focus on active opportunities that need your attention, or review your history to see patterns in your job search. Whether you're looking at applications that are "In Progress" or reflecting on those that were "Accepted" or "Rejected", everything is organised and accessible.
Make informed decisions
Understanding your job search patterns is crucial for improving your approach. When you track statuses over time, you start to see which types of applications progress furthest, which companies respond fastest, and where you might need to adjust your strategy.
Perhaps you notice that applications marked "In Progress" for too long rarely result in interviews—that might be a sign to streamline your application process. Or maybe you see that certain industries or roles consistently move to "Interviewing" faster, helping you prioritise where to focus your energy. Status tracking turns your job search into data you can learn from.
How status tracking works
Start with the right status
When you first save a job posting or add an application manually, you'll choose where it fits in your journey. Perhaps you've just spotted an interesting role and want to save it for later—that's "Interested". Or maybe you're already crafting your cover letter and tailoring your CV—in that case, mark it as "In Progress". The choice is yours, and you can always change it later.
Keep it updated as things happen
As your application moves through the process, updating the status takes just a moment. Hit "Submit" on that application form? Change it to "Applied". Receive an email inviting you for a chat? Switch to "Interviewing". Get that exciting call with an offer? Mark it as "Offered". It's designed to be quick and intuitive, so you can focus on what matters—your job search—rather than wrestling with complicated tools.
Focus on what you need to see
When you've got multiple applications at different stages, the status filter becomes your best friend. Want to see only the roles you're actively interviewing for? Filter by "Interviewing". Need to review which applications are still waiting for a response? Filter by "Applied". Or perhaps you'd like to reflect on your journey and see everything that's been "Accepted" or "Rejected". The filter helps you cut through the noise and focus on exactly what matters right now.
