Track next action for every application
Status labels are useful, but the next action and date are what keep a search moving.
Measure source quality
Over time, compare which sources generate interviews rather than simply counting applications.
Record role-specific details
Capture salary range, location and key requirements so comparisons remain grounded when multiple offers or interviews overlap.
Keep sensitive information private
Do not paste passwords, background-check data or confidential recruiter information into a tracker you do not need.
