I launched JobTrack (https://jobtrack.io https://jobtrack.io), a CRM for job seekers, about three months ago and have been seeing decent growth since then. I've predominantly relied on word of mouth and organic social media marketing but also launched a paid marketing campaign on Facebook a few days ago. The overall premise for the product is that when searching for a job, the job seeker will likely make a spreadsheet or notebook of the jobs they're interested in and applying to, along with some notes and key dates. JobTrack replaces spreadsheets with a straightforward app to track that information, and more, in a structured manner that is also available from mobile (and Chrome extension coming soon). JobTrack also has analytics to show how the job search is progressing. I'm hoping to go full time in 2017 and raise investment. At that point I'll likely try to bring on a co-founder and perhaps an employee or two.

Nice idea, and congrats. I think this can be a category of apps - automating the tracking of info of various kinds that people want to track. Had thought of another one but in a different domain. Not done yet. But when I mentioned it to a friend they said it could be useful.

  Thank you. I agree. JobTrack serves as a CRM for the job search but I think there is definitely space for CRM-like functionality for a lot of aspects of everyday life.

    Cool. I signed up for JobTrack. Don't have a need for it right now, but wanted to try it out. Will give you any feedback I may have. So far I've signed up and created two dummy jobs. Looked at the analytics page briefly too.

Awesome! I'm glad someone went and made something for this, since it's harder to do properly than it may seem (jobhunting, I mean). Back in the day I wrote a blogpost on how to use Redmine to do keep formal track of the process, but I suspect the effort/reward ratio for that may be more than most people are willing to put in. Next time I'm hunting, I'll come knocking :)
