The problem

Job hunting became a full-time job.

Tracking applications shouldn’t require spreadsheets, sticky notes, memory, and emotional damage.

Everything gets scattered

Applications live in spreadsheets, email threads, browser tabs, notes apps, and pure panic.

You’re guessing what works

One resume gets callbacks. Another gets silence. Without tracking, you never know why.

Follow-ups fall apart

The longer the search goes, the harder it gets to remember who ghosted, who replied, and who needs a nudge.

So we built something better: a command center for the job search.

Features

Less chaos. More signal.

JobSearchingSucks turns the messiest parts of the job hunt into a simple system: track what you did, measure what happened, and adjust with actual evidence.

Application tracking

Keep every role, company, status, salary range, link, and note in one clean pipeline.

Resume version analytics

Attach resume versions to applications and see which ones actually earn callbacks.

Callback insights

Track response rates, interview rates, ghosting, rejections, and offers without spreadsheet gymnastics.

Source performance

Compare LinkedIn, Indeed, direct apply, referrals, recruiters, and more by actual outcomes.

Follow-up reminders

Know who needs a nudge, when to check back, and which opportunities are getting stale.

Tags and organization

Group roles by stack, seniority, location, company type, resume strategy, or anything else you care about.
