One of the most challenging parts of the recruiting process is keeping track of everything. You have to keep track of everyone you've reached out to and had conversations with, you have to keep track of all the firms you've applied to as well as which divisions you applied for, and you have to keep track of all your resources and documents to make sure you're moving in the right direction.
When I went through recruiting, I used an Excel spreadsheet to help me stay organized. The worst part of this was that I had to manually update the spreadsheet whenever I had a new conversation or applied to a new position. I spent hours trying to automate the spreadsheet, which did help, but still required manual work at the end of the day.
I've recently been building out Jackfruit.ai, a tool that does everything in the job process except the actual application (think CRM for the job process). Jackfruit organizes a user's contacts, seamlessly integrates his or her job applications, and stores documents and resources all in one platform. We even have a 1-Click chrome extension to add jobs / applications from LinkedIn to the platform.
We're launching a beta kicking off next week (most likely) and if you'd like access, sign up here!
