Hunt — job application tracker spreadsheet

One row per application: company, role, stage, dates, next step. Days waiting and which applications need a nudge are calculated; active, interviews, offers and response rate are kept at the top. Pro adds a Pipeline sheet with conversion between stages and results by source, and a Follow-ups sheet that lists what needs doing. No macros.

Built for

  • Excel 2016+
  • Google Sheets
  • Numbers

Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.

What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.

A tracker that tells you who to nudge

A job search is a pipeline you don’t control, and the one thing you can control is following up. Every row has a last-contact date and a next step with a date; the Action column says Do it when that date arrives, Nudge when nothing has happened for a week, Wait otherwise, Closed when it’s over. The top of the sheet keeps the score: active, interviews, offers, and a response rate that counts rejections as responses — because they are.

Pro: the funnel

Pipeline counts applications at each stage, how many got at least that far, and the conversion between stages — Applied → Screening, Screening → Interview, Interview → Offer — plus interviews by source, so you can see whether referrals or job boards actually convert. Follow-ups lists the Do-it and Nudge rows with a plain INDEX/MATCH on numbered helper columns, the same trick our checklist uses instead of FILTER.

Checked, not just built

The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares thirty-six values — days and actions on the sample rows, the summary, stage counts and conversion rates, the source table, the Follow-ups lists row by row — against numbers computed outside Excel.
