How to track job applications

You can also track jobs directly from supported job boards using the browser extension.

Start from Home

Click Home in the Job Tracker sidebar. The page is headed Your next moves and lists the things waiting on you, up to six at a time:

• Resume Analyzer: a role you saved to Pending. Click Check my fit to check it against your resume in the Resume Analyzer (this uses one of your checks), or Drop it to remove it from your tracker.
• Check-in: Heard back from a company you applied to? Click Got an interview, Rejected or Not yet.
• Groups: new notes on a company's board (Read the notes), or a nudge to share what worked (Write a tip, or Later to hide it for a week).

The bottom of the list shows how many you've done and how many more saved roles are waiting for a check. When there's nothing left, the heading changes to Nothing waiting on you. Use Find jobs and Open tracker at the top to go to your tracker.

On the right, New in your job families shows up to three new roles you can apply for from where you work. Click Save to add one to Pending. If you haven't chosen your job families yet, you'll be asked to set them first.

Track a job from Career Agent

When the Career Agent recommends jobs, you can save them to your tracker with one click:

1. Open Career Agent from the dashboard sidebar
2. Ask for job recommendations or browse suggested roles
3. Click Track on any job you want to save

The system confirms with a message like "Saved [Job Title] at [Company] to your job tracker."

View your job tracker dashboard

Open your full tracker by clicking View tracker below the job results in Career Agent, Find opportunities on your main dashboard, or Job Tracker in the Job Tracker sidebar.

The Job Tracker page shows your pipeline with your total applications and your response, interview and offer rates. On the Applications tab, switch between List and Board views to see your applications organized by status.

Add an application yourself

1. On the Applications tab of the Job Tracker page, click Add application at the top of the page.
2. Enter the Company name and Job title (both required), plus any other details you have, such as the location, salary range, work type, job URL, job description and notes.
3. Click Add application to save it to your tracker.

Track jobs from Find jobs

Open the Find jobs tab on the Job Tracker page to see open roles you can apply for from where you work. The heading shows how many there are for the place you've chosen.

1. Under Where you work from, type a place or pick a region such as EMEA, APAC or LATAM. Each place shows how many roles are open to it. The list starts from the location on your profile, or shows jobs open to anywhere if your location doesn't match a place on the list.
2. Narrow the list with Kind of work, What it needs to pay and Setup (Remote, Hybrid, Not stated or On-site). Use Posted at the top of the page to show only recent jobs.
3. Tick Only employers who publish pay or Hide jobs I already track if you want, search by role, employer or keyword, and sort by Best paid or Newest.
4. Click Track on a role to save it to your tracker (it then shows Tracked). Click Apply to save it to Pending and open it in your tracker, where you can check it before you apply (see below).

Each role shows where the employer hires, the pay and when it was posted. Pay is marked published pay when the employer published it and our estimate otherwise. The pay filter uses the lower end of each range converted to US dollars and leaves out hourly and monthly pay.

Your filters are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark a search. Click Start over to clear them. Click a role's title to open its page on our job board.

Open a job and check it before you apply

Click a job in your tracker to open it in a panel on the right. The top shows its Status, how long you've been Waiting, the Salary and the Work type. Use the More actions menu to Move to another status, edit the company website, open the posting or Delete application.

For a job in Pending, the panel offers Check it before you send it:

1. Click Check this application to run a full check in the Resume Analyzer against your saved resume. It uses one check from your monthly allowance; see How to upload your resume to the job tracker.
2. Or click Apply without a check to open the employer's site. When you come back, click I applied to move the job to Applied, or Not yet.

The panel shows how many checks you have left this month. If you haven't added a resume yet, the panel asks you to add one (PDF or Word, up to 5 MB).

Deal-breakers before you apply

We also compare the job's location and work-rights requirements with the country on your profile. If your profile has no country yet, the panel asks you to add one: choose it and save. Once it's saved, the panel shows Clear for your country when this job passed, or that your country is saved when the job hasn't been read yet.

If the ad rules out where you're based (for example, it asks for the right to work in the US and you're based elsewhere), the panel shows Don't apply yet, with what The job says and what Your profile says. From there you can see Roles open to your country, Update my profile, or Apply anyway.

This quick check doesn't use your monthly checks. On Free, you can screen 10 jobs a month this way; on paid plans there's no limit. A full check that ends in Don't apply yet because of a deal-breaker doesn't use one of your checks either.

When you're out of checks

• On Free: click Upgrade to check this application. Under Know what to fix before you apply, choose Lite ($15 a month, 10 checks a month), Plus ($30 a month, 30 checks a month) or a One-off 5 checks for $10. A plan takes you to the membership page; the one-off opens a secure checkout. If you don't have a resume saved yet, you're asked to add one after you buy.
• On a paid plan: when your monthly checks are used up, the panel shows No checks left this month and the date they reset. Choose 5 checks for $10, or 1 check for 2,000 Career Pass points, then click Pay $10 and check this or Use points and check this.

When you come back from checkout, the check starts as soon as your checks arrive. Bought checks don't expire at the end of the month and are used once your monthly checks run out; the panel then shows how many bought checks you have left. A check that fails doesn't use one.

For a job you've applied to, the panel asks Heard back from the company. Below that are the job's Timeline (with View the job ad) and your Notes: type a note and click Save note.

Understand status labels

Each application sits in one of these status columns:

• Pending — Newly tracked job; not yet applied
• Applied — Marked as applied through the tracker
• Screening — You're in the screening stage
• Interviewing — You're interviewing for the role
• Offer — You've received or accepted an offer
• Closed — The application was rejected or withdrawn

Status updates automatically when you take actions in the Career Agent or the Job Tracker.

When you move an application out of Pending, its applied date is set to that day. Applications that reach Screening or later count towards your interview rate.

Share a tip as your application moves forward

When you move an application to Screening, Interviewing, Offer or Closed, on the board or in the application's details, the Job Tracker may ask what you learned, for example "You reached interviews at Acme. What did they ask?"

1. Pick a writing starter, such as How to prepare, or write your own tip.
2. Turn on Before you apply if your tip helps people who haven't applied yet.
3. Click Pin it. Your tip goes on the company's board in Groups. Only your initials, job family and stage show.

Click Not now to skip. The prompt shows once per application and stage, and not if you've posted a tip in the last 30 days. Once your tip is up, the application's card shows Your tip is on the board; click it to open the board. Tips of 20 words or more can earn Career Pass points; see Use job search support groups.

Enable agent actions

The Career Agent can perform actions on your behalf when you ask. Enable these by interacting with job results:

• Track — Saves job to your tracker (sets status to pending)
• Apply — Marks a tracked job as applied

These actions generate feedback messages in the Career Agent chat, confirming each step. No additional setup required—the agent is ready when you are.

Troubleshoot real-time updates

If tracking fails, the Career Agent shows "Could not save [job] to your tracker" with the error.

Updates not appearing: Refresh the Job Tracker dashboard. The Career Agent chat stream may occasionally drop; starting a new message re-establishes the connection.

Connection errors: Ensure you're logged in and have an active Lite membership. Session timeouts require re-login.

Jobs not syncing: The tracker updates when you click Track or Apply. If a job doesn't appear after 10 seconds, refresh the tracker page.
