Job Search OS by Roberto is a Notion template that helps with every aspect of the job searching process:
- Manage every job you’re interested in, from research to offer.
- Collect detailed information on all companies and recruiters involved.
- Keep detailed contact details for everyone you speak to during your search.
- Document every single interaction about a job: calls, interviews, tests, etc.
- Never miss an action or a deadline with the dedicated Actions section.
I use this very system for my own Job Search, managing over 100 job applications over time.
Put together with ❤️ and 🧠 by Roberto.

Why did I create this?
The problem: when you’re exploring the jobs market, you’re doing so many things that it’s hard to keep track of it all. I’ve had this problem before, and I’ve tried different solutions, from spreadsheets to CRM.
Nothing I tried before really worked for me so last time I decided to build my own tool using the power of Notion.
Before long, I was tracking nearly 40 jobs and researching 160 companies. I had contact details for 50 people and a record of all my conversations with each of them, including detailed notes from over 25 interviews. The Job Search OS was really working for me, allowing me to stay on top of my search, focus on my research and my conversations with future colleagues and quickly be successful in getting a brilliant new job.
What’s inside?
Jobs database with detailed information including company, URL, application state, people involved, CV used and more.
Companies database, designed to support the research phase of the search (who are they, what do they do, am I interested in them?) as well as the application phase.
People database helps you keep detailed information about everyone you interact with, contact details and conversation records.
Interview and Interaction notes, linked to the jobs they are for and the people that participated.
Actions board. Never forget to get back to someone.
All of this is delivered as a Notion template which you will be able to duplicate into your space. You need a Notion account to use this, but you can get all the features of Job Search OS by Roberto on the free tier. You don’t need a paid account.
