# A job search CRM: manage your career like sales teams manage customers

> ApplyLadder is a personal CRM for your job search. Manage companies, recruiters, applications and interviews in one place, and follow up at the right time.

Sales teams don't track deals in loose notes. They use a CRM that links every contact, conversation and deal. A job search has the same shape: companies, recruiters, roles and follow-ups. ApplyLadder is a personal career CRM that gives your search the same structure.

## Why a job search needs a CRM

A serious job search involves many relationships at once. A recruiter contacts you about one role, a hiring manager about another, and a company you applied to months ago comes back. Spreadsheets and notes keep these separate, so context gets lost.

A CRM keeps the relationships and the work together: who you talked to, about which role, what was said and what happens next.

## The pieces of a career CRM

ApplyLadder connects the parts of your search instead of treating them as separate lists.

- Companies: every company you've researched or applied to, with notes, links and history in one profile.
- Recruiters: contacts linked to the roles and conversations they own, so you never walk into a call without context.
- Jobs: each application with its status and history in a pipeline.
- Resumes: the exact version you sent, attached to the application.
- Interviews: rounds, notes and questions on a timeline you can revisit.
- Follow-ups: reminders so a quiet thread doesn't turn into a missed opportunity (Pro).

## From tracking jobs to managing a career

A tracker answers "where did I apply?". A CRM answers "who do I know there, what did we discuss and what should I do next?". Over time the record compounds: you can see which applications led to responses and interviews, and adjust. Career analytics on the Pro plan show application, response, interview and offer rates.

## Pricing

Start on the Free plan with up to 25 active applications, company and recruiter profiles, the job pipeline, the interview timeline and one resume version. Upgrade to Pro for $9 per month when you want unlimited applications, unlimited resume versions, reminders, analytics and the AI assistant.
