The Job Tracker board is a job application tracker that helps your users stay organised throughout their job search. Using a visual board, they can track the progress of their applications across four key stages.

  • Wishlist

  • Applied

  • Interview

  • Offer

The Job Tracker board gives users a single place to manage everything. Rather than juggling spreadsheets or losing track of where they are with each application, users can add jobs manually, move them between stages as they progress, and access other career tools from the sidebar.

The Job Tracker board is made up of four columns, each representing a stage of the job application process.

Column

Details

Wishlist

Jobs users are interested in but haven't applied to yet.

Shows the date the job was posted.

Applied

Jobs users have submitted an application for.

Shows the date they applied.

Interview

Jobs where users have an upcoming or completed interview.

Shows the interview date.

Offer

Jobs where users have received an offer.

Shows the date the offer was received.

Each job appears as a card showing the company logo, job title, company name, location, and a colour-coded date label for the current stage.

Add a new job to the Job Tracker board

Your users can manually add a job to any column on their board. After adding a job, the new job card will appear in the selected column.

🤓 Tip: You can change the order of job cards within the same column to arrange them however you like. To do this, drag and drop a job card up or down within its current column. The new order will be saved automatically.

To do this, follow the below steps.

  1. While in the Job Tracker board click the + icon at the top of the relevant column.

To do this, follow the below steps.

  1. Browse or search for jobs using the Job Search tool.

  2. Click Save on any listing.

The job is added automatically to the Wishlist column, ready for the next time the user opens the Job Tracker board.

Archive a job in the Job Tracker board

If a user is no longer pursuing a role, they can archive it to keep their board tidy. Archived jobs are not deleted and you can restore them at any time.

🤓 Tip: When you reject an offer, the job is archived automatically.

There are two manual ways to archive a job, detailed below.

  • Drag and drop. Search for and select the relevant job card, then drag it to the archive area at the bottom of the Job Tracker board.

  • Via the form. Click the relevant job card to open the details panel, then click Archive at the bottom.

Manage archived jobs

You can view your archived jobs and choose to restore them to the board or remove them. The archive drawer lists all your archived jobs, each showing a label indicating which column it was in before it was archived. Jobs can be restored or permanently deleted from here.

To do this, follow the relevant steps below.

Restore a job

  2. Search for and select the relevant job.

  3. Click the restore icon on the relevant job to move it back to its original column.

Delete a job

  2. Search for and select the relevant job.

  3. Click the delete icon on the relevant job to permanently remove it from the archive.

Handle offers

When a job reaches the Offer stage, you can accept or reject the offer.

To do this, follow the below steps.

  1. Click on the relevant job card in the Offer column to open the details panel.

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the panel until you see the accept and reject options.

  3. Click either Accept offer or Reject offer as needed.

After selecting an option, the message that follows depends on what you chose.

  • Accept offer. A congratulatory message appears, celebrating your success.

  • Reject offer. A supportive message appears. The rejected job is archived.

If you change your mind after rejecting an offer, you can restore the job from the archive.
