How should you track job applications?

Updated 2026-09-01 · Written by the Puvio team · Deepam, founder · Corrections · Start free

Applications into a queue versus a note you copy and send
Forty applications can sit in a queue. Puvio drafts one researched note. You copy it and send it.

In short

Track each role as one record with posting link, fit assessment, company research, contacts, outreach status, and application date. Not just URL and "applied." Spreadsheets store status; they do not run fit analysis or draft outreach. Puvio uses one card per role with stages from research through reply. You still apply through company portals. Puvio is the candidate-side board, not an employer ATS.

What does a spreadsheet miss?

A column for "status" does not tell you who to message or what to say. Separate tabs for research, contacts, and drafts fragment the work.

If you only need a handful of URLs and dates, a sheet is fine. Switch when you want fit, research, contacts, and a draft on the same row.

What should each role record include?

Posting link, fit, company research, who to message, outreach draft, and status. One card, not split across sheets.

Puvio does not import a spreadsheet. Save each posting as a new role card and paste the URL. Fit and intel land on that card. Comparison: puvio.app/answers/puvio-vs-spreadsheet-job-tracker

Upload the résumé you have. Save a posting. Copy the draft. You send it. 75 credits. No LinkedIn login.
