Reports

Reports show what is actually happening in your search, so you stop guessing and fix the real bottleneck first.

This is not a generic productivity dashboard or a table with prettier colors. It is a job-search decision layer built around status transitions and funnel drop-offs.

Reports are only as accurate as your statuses. Update statuses manually after real events (for example, rejection emails) before reviewing metrics.

What reports show

Status breakdown

How many applications are in each current status right now.

Weekly trends

How your volume and outcomes move over time by week.

Pipeline flow

How applications move through stages to outcomes, including drop-off points.

Outcome mix

The balance of interviews, offers, rejections, no-feedback, and canceled outcomes.

How to read reports in 10 minutes

Fix status data first (manual updates from this week).
Check volume: how many new active applications started.
Check conversion: Initial to Interview and Interview to Offer/outcome.
Check silence: share of No Feedback versus explicit outcomes.
Check where the process gets stuck, then choose one action for next week.

How to read Sankey (pipeline flow)

Sankey is a decision tool, not a vanity chart. It shows where applications drop between stages. Use it to find your biggest leak, then fix one thing at a time.

Important: Sankey reflects completed outcomes. For real-time workload, check Status breakdown and Weekly trends.

Concrete example

If your weekly table shows lots of applications but Sankey shows very few reaching Interview, the problem is not volume. Start with resume fit and role targeting. If interviews start but most drop after stage 1, work on screening answers before changing anything else.

Signal to action guide

Most applications do not reach Interview: improve resume clarity first, tighten role targeting, and review channel mix.
Strong Initial -> Interview, weak Interview -> Offer: find the exact interview stage with the biggest drop and train for that stage.
Big drop at Interview 1: improve intro/screening pitch and first-call answers.
Big drop at Interview 2+: focus on stage-specific prep (case study, system design, behavioral examples).
High No Feedback: improve first-touch quality, adjust channels, and use light follow-up cadence.

One-action weekly rule

Pick one improvement from reports for next week. Do not change five things at once, or you lose signal.

Common interpretation mistakes

Reading conversion before status cleanup.
Comparing one week in isolation without trend context.
Treating Archived as an outcome instead of a visibility control.
Tracking too many custom states and losing consistency.

Suggested weekly actions by signal

Low interview conversion: improve targeting and role selection.
High no-feedback: tighten follow-up cadence and adjust channels.
Many active stale items: increase status update discipline.
Good late-stage conversion: prioritize interview prep and scheduling speed.
