Case Study
Job Search CRM
Unified pipeline that treats job searching like deal flow — from application to offer.
Problem
Job searching across multiple platforms means context is scattered everywhere — spreadsheets for tracking applications, a calendar for interviews, email threads for recruiter conversations, and separate docs for resume versions. Keeping everything in sync is its own part-time job, and things inevitably fall through the cracks.
Approach
Built a unified dashboard that treats the job search like a deal pipeline. Opportunities flow through stages (Saved → Applied → Interview → Offer), with a weekly calendar view for upcoming events and follow-ups, a contacts CRM for networking relationships, and a resume insights panel that scores keyword coverage against job descriptions. Everything lives in one place with zero friction to update.
Result
Replaced a messy system of spreadsheets and sticky notes with a single interface that gives me a real-time view of where every opportunity stands. The resume insights feature alone saved hours of manual keyword matching per application.
What I Learned
The most valuable feature wasn't the pipeline tracker — it was the weekly calendar widget. Seeing upcoming events and follow-ups at a glance made it impossible to let things slip. The best productivity tools aren't the most complex ones; they're the ones that reduce the cost of doing the right thing.
