Job Tracker Guides and Templates for Every Workflow

Choose a tracker

Start with workflow fit, current access, official sources, and honest limitations.

• Job application trackers compared by workflow

  Compare tracking, contacts, browser capture, ATS checks, follow-ups, import and export, and free access.

• Free job tracker options

  Published limits, official source links, and the trade-off each option makes.

• AI job search platform

  See how one saved role carries through tracking, writing, interview preparation, and follow-up.

Design one source of truth

Decide which fields, documents, contacts, and next actions belong in the live record.

• How to organise your job search

  Build one pipeline with high-signal fields, submitted-document names, next actions, and a weekly review.

• Create and log resume version filenames

  Build clear role-specific filenames and download a private in-page log before leaving.

Build a Kanban workflow

Keep the board short enough to maintain and make every card carry one next action.

• Build a five-stage job search Kanban board

  Use Wishlist, Applied, Interview, Offer, and Rejected, with optional detail kept on the card.

Use the dashboard template

Start with a working browser utility or download a ready-made spreadsheet.

• Build a custom job application dashboard

  Choose the fields, preview the structure, then copy or download the CSV without signing up.

• Download a job tracker spreadsheet

  Use the ready-made XLSX or CSV, with formulas, dropdowns, and migration guidance.

Run a daily and weekly routine

Use a time box, stop when quality drops, and review the pipeline before starting another batch.

• Build a sustainable job search routine

  Choose a 45, 90, or 180-minute plan with a clear stopping point and weekly review.

• Search for a job while employed

  Keep devices, accounts, recruiter contact, interviews, references, and notice planning confidential.

• Follow up on a job application

  Use the employer's timeline, check the portal, and send one brief status question when appropriate.

Compare specialist products

Use direct comparisons when your decision is between two specific workflows.

• ApplyArc vs Huntr

  Connected application work versus browser-led tracking.

• ApplyArc vs Teal

  A connected tracker and tools versus a resume-led workspace.

• ApplyArc vs Jobscan

  A wider application workflow versus specialist ATS matching.

• ApplyArc vs Simplify

  Manual control and application context versus autofill speed.

• ApplyArc vs Resumly

  A deliberate, review-first workflow versus cloud auto-apply and browser autofill.

Understand browser capture

Separate public browser-saving features from waitlists, autofill, scraping, and automatic submission.

• LinkedIn job scraper and capture tools

  Compare what tools capture, what they automate, and what account risks to avoid.

• ApplyArc Chrome Extension Waitlist

  Quick dashboard access in private beta, with safer job-saving work on the roadmap. Join the waitlist.

Frequently asked

Where should I start if my applications are spread across several places?

Start with the organisation guide. Choose one live record, move every active application into it, and keep a single next action for each role.

Should I use the dashboard template or a tracker app?

Use the dashboard template when you want a portable CSV and full control over the fields. Use a tracker app when maintaining the spreadsheet is the problem.

How many stages should a job tracker have?

Start with Wishlist, Applied, Interview, Offer, and Rejected. Add detail only when it changes the next action.

Can ApplyArc capture jobs from the browser today?

Not generally. ApplyArc's Chrome extension is waitlist-only, so jobs are added manually from the dashboard today.
