Let's build a community to fight against ghosting and fake jobs, while tracking jobs.
We spend time tailoring our resumes, writing cover letters, applying carefully…
and then hear nothing back.
No rejection. No update. Just silence.
Recruiters already have dashboards and pipeline data.
Applicants are left guessing.
Moreover, after a while, you don’t even know:
- which jobs you applied to
- which resume you used
- whether it’s worth following up
- or if the job was even real in the first place
Everything ends up scattered across spreadsheets, notes, bookmarks, and random tabs.
I wanted to change that — even a little.
That frustration is what led me to build JobLumy — a free platform for applicants, by applicants.
I got tired of spreadsheets and built this initially for my own use.
The idea is simple:
- track notes, resumes, follow-ups, referrals, and outcomes
- see community insights when multiple people are applying to the same role
- get a clearer signal on whether a job looks active, ghosting-heavy, or just not worth your time.
- We just need more people to track together and get better insights together.
- You can also track career pages and get alerts when new job is posted.
- It's very simple now, if more people find the idea useful, I will add more features to it.
Nope, there is no catch, no payment, fully free. I want to create a community where we all build a system that helps the Job Seekers; all other platforms are geared for recruiters.
If you believe that job seekers should also have activity insights for the jobs posted, then please give it a try, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.
