Free job application tracker: save any job in one click

Stop losing applications in open tabs and half-updated spreadsheets. The HiredFolio job tracker saves a job from LinkedIn, Indeed, Welcome to the Jungle or any company careers page in one click (title, company, location, salary and the full description), then keeps every application on one kanban board, from saved to offer.

- Free Chrome extension, one click per job
- Track up to 100 jobs with a free HiredFolio account (sign-up required, no credit card)
- Works on LinkedIn, Indeed, Welcome to the Jungle, HelloWork, APEC, France Travail, Greenhouse and Lever

## Why a spreadsheet stops working by week three

A job search starts tidy: a few rows in Excel or Google Sheets. Then postings get pulled before you apply, you forget which resume you sent where, and follow-ups slip because nobody opened the file that morning. You don't need a better spreadsheet. You need a tracker that fills itself in.

HiredFolio is that tracker. It's built for people running their own job search: students and new graduates, career changers, and anyone whose applications keep disappearing without a reply.

## What the HiredFolio job tracker does

- **One-click job capture** On a job page, open the HiredFolio side panel. The title, company, location, salary and description are already filled in. Click Save. No copy-pasting.
- **A copy of every posting** HiredFolio keeps the full description, so you still have it if the employer takes the ad down before your interview.
- **A kanban board for your pipeline** Pick the column when you capture, then move the card forward: saved, applied, interviewing, offer, rejected or ghosted.
- **Statuses, notes and follow-ups** Every application carries its status, your notes and its follow-up date, so you always know what to do next.
- **Weekly goals** Set a weekly target for jobs saved and applications sent. The progress card keeps you on pace.
- **The right documents on each card** The resume version and cover letter you sent stay attached to the application, so you know exactly what the recruiter is looking at when they call.
- **Always one click away** The side panel stays open while you browse, with no pop-ups that close and no extra tabs.

## How it works

1. **Install the extension and sign in.** — Add HiredFolio to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store, then create your free HiredFolio account (no credit card).
2. **Save a job.** — On LinkedIn, Indeed, Welcome to the Jungle or a company careers page, open the side panel and click Save. The details are filled in for you.
3. **Choose a column.** — File the job as saved, applied or interviewing. Tracking starts straight away.
4. **Follow up and move forward.** — Update the status as you go. When you're ready to apply, tailor your resume to that exact posting.

## Works on the job sites you already use

The HiredFolio extension has dedicated support for the major job boards:

- LinkedIn and Indeed
- French job boards: Welcome to the Jungle, HelloWork, APEC and France Travail
- Company careers pages on applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse and Lever

On other sites it reads the page's Schema.org JobPosting data, so many job pages without dedicated support still get parsed. The "Capture on all sites" setting extends detection to any site, or you can allow sites one at a time. If a page still isn't recognised, select the text of the posting and HiredFolio saves it as it is.

Every capture keeps the date you saved it, so your whole search sits on one board, whatever site each job came from.

## From tracker to tailored resume

Every saved job becomes the reference for the rest of your application:

- **Tailor your resume to the posting.** HiredFolio compares your resume with the job description and rewrites it for that role from your real experience, never inventing anything. [AI resume assistant](https://hiredfolio.com/resume-assistant)
- **Check it before you send.** Score your resume against the posting and see the keywords it's missing, with no account needed. [Free ATS resume checker](https://hiredfolio.com/ats-checker)
- **Start from LinkedIn.** The same extension turns your LinkedIn profile into an ATS-friendly resume. [LinkedIn import](https://hiredfolio.com/linkedin-import)

## Your data stays yours

The extension reads the job page you're on so it can capture the listing. It doesn't track your browsing and no data is sold. You can revoke every site permission at any time in the extension settings.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need an account to track job applications?

Yes, a free one. Create a HiredFolio account (no credit card) and sign in to the extension. Every job you save is stored in your account, so your board is on every device and ready for resume tailoring.

### Is the HiredFolio job application tracker really free?

Yes. The Chrome extension is free, and a free HiredFolio account (required to use it) tracks up to 100 jobs, with two resumes and PDF export. You don't need a credit card. Pro adds AI on every application (tailored resumes, cover letters, match checks, interview prep) and unlimited tracking.

### Is my data safe?

The extension only reads job pages to capture listings and doesn't track your browsing. Your data is never sold, and every site permission can be revoked in the extension settings. Payments go through Stripe, so card details never reach HiredFolio's servers.

### Which job sites does the tracker work with?

The extension has dedicated support for LinkedIn and Indeed, for the French job boards Welcome to the Jungle, HelloWork, APEC and France Travail, and for company careers pages built on applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse and Lever. Other sites are often parsed through their Schema.org JobPosting data, and you can always fall back to manual capture by selecting the posting's text.

### How is this better than a job search spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet only works if you retype every job and open the file every day. HiredFolio fills in the job details for you, keeps a copy of the posting, shows your pipeline as a kanban board and attaches the resume you sent to each application.
