A LinkedIn tracker should cover discovery, saving, applying, messaging and follow-up without assuming that every saved role becomes an application.
A practical workflow
Use the following as a working sequence, then adapt it to the companies and conversations in front of you.
- Distinguish saved jobs from submitted applications
- Record the source and people involved
- Move the opportunity into an active pipeline when it earns attention
Keep the system workable
Keep one clear record for the opportunity, its current stage, the people involved and the next action. That gives you enough structure to return to the search without adding ceremony.
Candidate keeps this context together so a useful update after an application, conversation or exercise does not need to be copied across several tools.
