Job search kanban template

A job hunt is a pipeline, and pipelines belong on a board. Every application is a card; the columns tell you instantly where things stand and what needs a follow-up.

How to use this template

One card per company — keep the job link, contacts, and prep notes in the card's markdown notes. Share the board with a partner or friend for accountability (and moral support after rejections).

Built for a duo? See Simpleban. Every board syncs live between two people, works offline, and supports handing cards to each other.

Questions, answered

Is this better than a job search spreadsheet?
For most people, yes: a board shows pipeline state at a glance, drag beats editing cells on a phone, and notes stay attached to each application.
