the nextjobstep tracker
Drop in a job posting URL and NextJobStep pulls the listing, adds it to your pipeline, and keeps its status current, applied, screening, interview, offer, without a spreadsheet, a notes app, or a mental list you're trying not to lose.
Free for individual students · no card required
A spreadsheet that falls out of date within a week. A notes app entry that never gets updated. A gut feeling about who they've applied to, which is usually wrong by week three.
No record of what was sent, where, or when
Forgetting to follow up after an interview
Applying twice to the same role by accident
No idea which CV version went where
If you're managing your applications in a spreadsheet, a notes app, or a dozen open tabs, you already know how fast it falls apart, columns you forget to update, tabs you lose track of, a CV version you can't remember sending. NextJobStep replaces all of it. Every application, fully digital, tracked automatically from the moment you paste a link. Nothing to maintain, nothing to remember to update yourself.
how it works
Every application moves through five clear stages, updated automatically as things move, not something a student has to remember to go back and edit.
Saved for later, not forgotten
Logged the moment it's sent
No guessing how long it's been
Details attached, not buried in email
The outcome, recorded properly
no more six tabs
Paste a link from any of these, and it lands in the same pipeline as everything else.
consistency, not just logging
Most students start strong, ten applications in the first few days, then momentum quietly drops around week four. The Tracker shows the pattern before the search stalls completely.
beyond the pipeline
The right version attached to the right listing, automatically.
Skills and visa status checked against the role before you commit time to it.
Real permit data per employer, so effort goes where it's likely to count.
A clear signal when something moves, instead of wondering if it ever will.
one link, everything about you
Fill in your profile once, education, skills, experience, and portfolio links, and NextJobStep turns it into a shareable "about you" page at one unique link. Send it to a recruiter, drop it in a cover letter, or put it in your email signature, instead of attaching a CV file that might already be out of date by the time someone opens it.
Education, skills, experience, and portfolio links, all in one place.
nextjobstep.com/u/yourname, always current, no attachment required.
Under a College Partnership, this same tracking data rolls up into a dashboard for your careers team, engagement and outcomes across your whole student body, not just one student's pipeline.
Yes. Self-Track, the individual version of the Tracker, is free with no card required. It's the same tracking engine used inside College Partnership, just without the cohort-wide dashboard.
Paste a link from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, IrishJobs, Jobs.ie, GradIreland, or most company career pages, and NextJobStep will pull the listing details automatically. If a link doesn't parse cleanly, you can still add it manually in seconds.
You can update it manually at any point, but the goal is that you shouldn't have to. Status changes reflect what's actually happening as you move through the process.
Your individual application data is yours. Under a College Partnership, your institution sees aggregated engagement and outcome trends, not your private application-by-application activity.
Your tracked applications stay exactly as you left them. There's no penalty for a quiet week, and no data lost if you step away and come back later.
Paste your first job link and see the pipeline build itself. Free for individual students, no card required.
