The Tracker

Every application, tracked from a single pasted link.

Drop in a job posting URL and NextJobStep pulls the listing into your pipeline. Move it from saved to offer without a spreadsheet, a notes app, or a list you're trying not to lose.

The problem

Most students track applications with nothing at all.

A spreadsheet that falls out of date within a week. A notes app entry that never gets updated. A gut feeling about who they have applied to, which is usually wrong by week three.

Without a system

  • 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

With NextJobStep

  • Every application saved with its role, date and status
  • Notes and dates kept on one timeline per application
  • Every role you've tracked, in one searchable list
  • The exact résumé and cover letter attached to each one

How it works

Paste a link, then follow it to an offer.

The listing details are fetched for you. You move each application through its stages in a click, and every change lands on its timeline.

  • Saved: kept for later, not forgotten
  • Applied: the role, the date and the CV you sent, together
  • Interview: details and notes attached, not buried in email
  • Offer: the outcome, recorded properly

Beyond the pipeline

What else the Tracker keeps organised.

  • CVs and cover letters, per application

    Attach the exact version you sent to the listing you sent it to.

  • A fit score on every role

    See how a role matches your skills and preferences before you spend time on it.

  • Sponsorship signal on the employer

    Real permit data per employer, so effort goes where it is likely to count.

Your profile

Add your profile once, share it with one link.

Fill in your education, skills, experience and portfolio links once, and NextJobStep turns it into a shareable page at your own link. Send it to a recruiter or put it in your email signature instead of a CV file that might already be out of date.

Example public profile with a personal link and skills.
Example portfolio with four projects.

For colleges: the same tracker, with a portal for your team.

Under a College Partnership, your careers team can follow members' applications, publish roles and run events from one portal.

Common questions

  • Paste a link from LinkedIn, Indeed, IrishJobs.ie, EURES, Reed, Jooble, or company career pages on Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and Ashby, and NextJobStep pulls in the listing details. If a link does not come through cleanly, you can add the application manually in seconds.

  • Yes, in a click. The job details are fetched for you when you paste the link; you move the application through its stages as things happen, and each change is recorded on its timeline.

  • Your tracked applications stay exactly as you left them. There is no penalty for a quiet week, and nothing is lost if you step away and come back later.

Stop guessing what you've applied to.
