Show HN: CRM for Your Job Search

When does the data of this CRM become actionable? It feels to me like a lot of paperwork to maintain, but I can't see what one will do with it. What is the "value" of doing data-entry so I can see that I made it to one interview round at Company X? It's not like I can move myself onto Round two myself.

The nature of the interviewing process is that the company manages it, the candidate just needs to respond to the recruiter and make themselves available for the subsequent steps of the process.

Unless I am missing something?

Not looking at this, but one of the most important things I keep track of is meaningful interviews from specific recruiters/companies. The historical data from this will be interesting.

You're not always going through a recruiter or only a recruiter. Keeping track of all the names and contact info might pay off down the road as well.

I think this sort of thing is a lot more valuable for internship or new grad searches where candidates might apply to 50+ roles at once. I know of a similar job application crm that focuses just on those roles.
