The LinkedIn Job tracker is a centralized space where you can save job opportunities and manage them throughout your search. It offers a structured view that allows you to move each job through five stages: saved, in progress, apply, interview, and archive.
With the tracker, you can also:
-
Add notes to capture reminders, context, or follow-up actions
-
Filter jobs by date posted to prioritize newer opportunities
-
View network connections you can reach out to
Here's a tip
Jobs are automatically removed from the Job tracker after 1 year to keep your list focused and relevant.
There are two types of jobs on LinkedIn and each type is managed differently.
Easy Apply jobs
These are jobs where you can apply directly on LinkedIn.
-
From Saved to In Progress and Applied: These stages will update automatically when you start or submit an application.
- After you’ve already Applied to a job, it can’t be moved to earlier stages like Saved and In Progress. This is because LinkedIn tracks your submitted applications and automatically updates their status for you.
-
From Applied to Interview: You can manually move an Easy Apply job to Interview by choosing the Change stage option under the
icon.- Jobs in the Interview stage can be moved to Applied, but cannot be moved to earlier stages like Saved and In Progress.
- Jobs in the Interview stage can be moved to Applied, but cannot be moved to earlier stages like Saved and In Progress.
Apply on Company site jobs
These are jobs where you are redirected to apply off LinkedIn, usually on the Company’s website.
-
To track jobs where you apply off LinkedIn, you will first need to Save that job.
-
Between In Progress, Applied, and Interview stages: You can manually move these jobs to track progress. The job tracker will prompt you, but you can also update your progress at any time by choosing the Change stage option under the
icon.
