Everything gets scattered
Applications live in spreadsheets, email threads, browser tabs, notes apps, and pure panic.
Building in public: JobSearchingSucks is being actively built. Currently, only application tracking features are available. Resume uploads and advanced analytics will ship once I am confident your data is handled with the utmost security.
Track applications, compare resume versions, and finally see what’s getting callbacks instead of guessing from a messy spreadsheet.
Free plan includes 20 active applications and basic analytics.

The problem
Tracking applications shouldn’t require spreadsheets, sticky notes, memory, and emotional damage.
Applications live in spreadsheets, email threads, browser tabs, notes apps, and pure panic.
One resume gets callbacks. Another gets silence. Without tracking, you never know why.
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
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.
Keep every role, company, status, salary range, link, and note in one clean pipeline.
Attach resume versions to applications and see which ones actually earn callbacks.
Track response rates, interview rates, ghosting, rejections, and offers without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Compare LinkedIn, Indeed, direct apply, referrals, recruiters, and more by actual outcomes.
Know who needs a nudge, when to check back, and which opportunities are getting stale.
Group roles by stack, seniority, location, company type, resume strategy, or anything else you care about.
