Free Job Application Tracker

The useful distinction

A free tracker can be enough for an early search. Evaluate it by how well it handles your real workflow, not by how many fields or dashboards it advertises.

Candidate's free starting path is designed to make the first useful record easy to create.

A practical workflow

Use the following as a working sequence, then adapt it to the companies and conversations in front of you.

• Check that the core application record is easy to update
• Make sure interview and follow-up history has a home
• Keep an exportable or otherwise dependable record of your work

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.
