Free job application tracker templates.

Four formats, one job tracker spreadsheet design: 13 columns, ten status stages, a next-action system. These are the manual versions — you type, they hold. Erioun is the version that updates itself.

What's inside

13 columns — the ones that answer “what did I send, to whom, and what's next?” — and not one more.

  • Company

    Who you applied to.

  • Role

    The exact title from the posting.

  • Status

    One of ten stages, Saved through Archived.

  • Applied on

    The date it actually went out.

  • CV version sent

    Which CV they have — the thing everyone forgets.

  • Last reply

    When you last heard from them.

  • Next action

    The one thing to do next.

  • Next action date

    When to do it. Sort by this column each morning.

  • Contact

    Recruiter or hiring manager, if you have one.

  • Source

    Where you found the role.

  • Job URL

    The posting, before it disappears.

  • Salary range

    Posted or guessed — mark which.

  • Notes

    Anything future you will want to know.

Status stages: Saved · Preparing · Applied · Assessment · Interview · Final stage · Offer · Rejected · Ghosted · Archived — the same ten stages Erioun uses, so moving up later is a rename-free experience.

Frequently asked

Which job application tracker template should I pick?

Google Sheets if you live in a browser and want easy sharing. Notion if your life is already there and you want a board view. Excel if you want the file offline and on your machine. Apple Numbers if you're on Mac and iPhone. The columns are identical, so you can switch later without re-thinking anything.

Are the templates really free?

Yes. We ask for an email so we can send you the template and the occasional job-search guide — you can unsubscribe anytime, and the template keeps working either way.

What's inside the job tracker spreadsheet?

13 columns — company, role, status, applied date, CV version sent, last reply, next action and date, contact, source, job URL, salary range, notes — plus a ten-stage status dropdown from Saved through Archived.

What's the catch with a spreadsheet tracker?

Upkeep. Every reply, status change and follow-up date is typed by hand, and the sheet is only as current as your last honest edit. That's exactly the part Erioun automates: each application gets its own email address, replies file themselves and statuses stay current — you're one tap from adjusting, and nothing is ever sent without you.

The honest upsell

This is the manual version.

Erioun fills itself in — every application gets its own email address, replies file themselves and statuses stay current. You're always one tap from adjusting, and nothing is ever sent without you.
