Application tracking

Every application, its status, and what it’s teaching you — in one place.

A real job search generates a mess: applications at different stages, interviews at different companies, responses owed, responses never coming. Most people track it in a spreadsheet that dies by week three, and lose the one thing the mess contains — the pattern. Improved.cv tracks every application from submission onward, and turns the record into intelligence about your search.

Status changes trigger the right next move

When an application’s status changes, Improved.cv responds with the fitting template — the follow-up, the interview confirmation, the thank-you, the feedback request. The administrative layer of the search runs on rails, and nothing falls through because you were busy preparing for something else.

The ghosted box calls silence what it is

Applications that die without a response don’t linger in your active list, quietly draining attention. They move to the ghosted box — named honestly, counted honestly. Silence is an outcome, and it’s the employer’s, not yours. Keeping it visible and separate stops it from contaminating how you read the applications still alive.

Feedback requests as a habit, not an afterthought

Every closed application is a chance to learn something, and most candidates never ask. Improved.cv makes the feedback request part of the routine — so that over a full search, you collect signal most job seekers leave on the table.

One metric that actually diagnoses your search

Success rate by fit band is the diagnostic that matters. If your strong matches convert and your middling ones don’t, your search is healthy and the strategy is working. If strong matches are dying too, something specific needs attention. One honest number, instead of a dashboard of vanity metrics measuring activity rather than progress.
