Using Apptrax ============= Apptrax is a job application tracking system aimed for applicants. The system is capable of fetching job information directly from Workday and Greenhouse based applicant tracking systems and for other websites, it will fetch the job description for you. What sets Apptrax apart from other systems is that it does a a word intersection for the candidate's resume and the job description to return a match percentage for the job. This also weighs the skills the candidate provided. The Resume and Skills data are always stored encrypted so a leaked database is impossible to encrypt trivially. Signing up ---------- Visit https://apptrax.nigelb.systems to sign up to the instance. You can immediately login without confirming your email address. Please ensure the email address is correct or you will not be able to reset your password. Add a Resume and Skills ----------------------- Visit https://apptrax.nigelb.systems/resume/ to add your Resume. Add a comma separated list of skills you want to also check for in the description. This will help bump job advertisements with specific keywords you're looking for be ranked higher reducing the amount of noise you have to sort through. If there is a job that looks interesting and your match percentage is low, try to read the job description and modify the words in your resume to use the words from the job advertisements. Tracking a Job ------------ Visit https://apptrax.nigelb.systems/job/create to add a new job that you want to track. The system excepts to start from a URL so it can help keep track of it. When the URL returns an error, the ad will be marked as closed. If you have not marked yourself as "Applied" at that point, the system will automatically mark your job as Archived. Adding a Feed ------------- Visit https://apptrax.nigelb.systems/feed/create to add a new feed. For job websites hosted on Workday and Greenshouse, the system can import all the jobs from a specific company's job board. Workday ^^^^^^^ * Find the link that is hosted on a myworkdayjobs.com domain. For example: https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/ * Verify that you can find a siteMap.xml page at this URL: https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/siteMap.xml * Enter the URL into the Feed URL. Greenhouse ^^^^^^^^^^ * Find the URL for the company on Greenhouse with job-boards.greenhouse.io link. The careers page may redirect to this website. For example: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mozilla. * Add this URL to the Feed's URL. * Some companies will redirect this to a custom job board or an embed of the submission frame in an iframe. For example, MongoDB uses an embed of the Greenhouse job board on their website. If that's the case, you may have to view the page source. This will reveal a company specific name. For example, MongoDB uses `mongodb` and Hudson River Trading uses `wehrtyou`. * Use this to construct the URL for the feed. * The feed will be queried every 24 hours for new jobs and they will be automatically added to your dashboard.
