Before You Start

Make sure you’ve signed up on JobSwift, if you haven’t already. JobSwift supports many typical sign-in options such as with Google, AppleID, LinkedIn or your email.

JobSwift Web Interface

Once you login to JobSwift, you will land on your Dashboard. The dashboard shows you analytics about your CV and job applications e.g., number of jobs applied per CV or your CV efficiency etc.

On the left, you have the main sidebar from where you can switch between different pages.

Apply Your First Job with JobSwift

1. Add your CV

You need to have at least one CV to start applying jobs with JobSwift. To add your CV, navigate to the CV page from the left sidebar. From there, you’ll find three ways to add a CV.

1. Build CV with our CV Builder Tool.

2. Import a PDF CV file.

3. Import CV from LinkedIn.

2. Save job on JobSwift

Once you have a CV saved on JobSwift, you can start saving jobs that you are interested in applying for. Your saved job will be listed on your Applications page that you can reach from the left side bar.

To start adding job details, click on the Start New Application Manually from the applications page.

Next, you will have to add details about a job including job title, name and email of the hiring manager and job post URL etc. Once you fill those, click the Save button.

Job listing is a page that contains information about a specific job position. Here is an example:

Use AI CV Optimization (Optional)

When saving a job, you can use the JobSwift’s AI-based CV optimization feature. For this, you need to check the Optimize CV checkbox.

Using AI CV optimization will make your CV job relevant and will also improve your chances of getting through the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) filters. Learn more about AI CV Optimization.

The CV you optimize is shown as an additional file on your CV page. You can download it at any time. We recommend using this PDF version for jobs that require uploading a PDF CV file.

3. Copy the JobSwift email ID

Automatic tracking on JobSwift works by analyzing any inbound messages you receive about a job application. Based on these messages, your application status gets updated on JobSwift. To achieve that, all your application correspondence needs to be routed via JobSwift. This requires you to use your JobSwift email ID when applying to jobs.

You need to copy your JobSwift email ID for the next step of the workflow i.e., to apply to the job. Your JobSwift email ID is typically shown on the page displaying details of the job that you just saved. You can just copy it from there.

4. Apply to the job

Once you’ve copied the JobSwift email ID JobSwift, you can start applying to the job. When applying, you need to use the same email ID that you copied from JobSwift.

In case you need to create an account on employer’s site for job application, be sure to use the same email there too. See below screenshot for an example.

Next, you can fill in the job application and simply submit your application.

What Happens After You Apply?

Once you’ve applied to a job and saved it on JobSwift, it will be shown on your Applications page in the web app. You can view or edit it at any time by just clicking on it.

How to track applications?

Job tracking on JobSwift is fully automatic. Since you’ve used your JobSwift email ID for your job application, you will be receiving correspondence about your application on JobSwift - on the Messages page. From these messages, your current application status will be retrieved automatically and tagged to your saved job.

You can use our Table View or Kanban Board to track applications with their status.
