JOB SEARCH TRACKING · Workflow idea

Keep new job openings in one list, without sorting through repeats.

Set the role and location you care about, then collect recent listings on a regular cadence. Skip senior titles and keep only openings not already in your tracker, ready for a person to assess.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A chosen role, location, remote preference, and posting period

“Find recent listings that match the search criteria, leave out senior, lead, staff, and principal roles, and add only new results to the job tracker.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Repeats a configured job search, filters out selected senior titles, checks listings against the existing tracker, and adds only new openings.

  1. Set the role and location

    Choose the job title, location, remote preference, and recent posting period for the search.

  2. Gather matching job listings

    Collect listings that match the search criteria during each scheduled review.

  3. Filter out senior titles

    Leave out titles containing Senior, Lead, Staff, or Principal so the tracker focuses on the roles you want to review.

  4. Check for existing listings

    Compare each result with the listings already recorded and avoid adding the same opening twice.

  5. Add new openings for review

    Record the title, company, location, posting link, and date, leaving status available for a person to update.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A list of new job openings with their title, company, location, link, and posting date, ready for manual status updates and review.

The handoff

A list of new job openings with their title, company, location, link, and posting date, ready for manual status updates and review.

Keep in mind

A listing is a lead for your job search, not confirmation that the role is still open or a good fit. Check the original posting before applying or sharing it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the search

Choose the role, location, remote-only preference, and posting period that match your search.

Prepare the job tracker

Set up fields for listing identity, title, company, location, link, posting date, and your manual status.

Choose how often to look

Set a search cadence that gives you timely results without checking more often than you need.

Review search results

Try representative searches and check that excluded titles, duplicate listings, and saved details match your expectations.
