Application tracker FAQ

A job application tracker is a tool that helps you organize and monitor every job you've applied to. Instead of relying on memory or messy spreadsheets, a tracker shows each application's status — applied, in review, interview, or offer — in one visual dashboard.
Spreadsheets require you to build your own system and manually update every cell. Candidate.so gives you a drag-and-drop kanban board, timestamped notes, automatic response rate tracking, and resume linking — all out of the box.
Yes. Each application has a notes section for recruiter conversations, interview feedback, salary details, and follow-up reminders. Every note is timestamped so you have a clear record of every interaction.
The free plan includes 5 application slots with full functionality — kanban view, notes, status tracking, and dashboard stats. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited applications.
Yes. Every application links to the resume version you used. You can always see which resume, template, and tailoring you sent to each company.
The dashboard shows response rate, applications per week, pipeline breakdown by stage, upcoming interviews, and month-over-month trends. It turns your job search from guesswork into a data-driven process.
