Tracking jobs

Job posting links

Every job in Trackur can store a link to the original job posting, so the listing is always one click away when you're preparing for a screening call or writing a follow-up.


You can set the link in two places:

  • When adding a job — the Add Job panel has a Job Posting URL field (placeholder "https://..."). Paste or type the address and it saves with the job.
  • On an existing job — open the Edit panel and fill in the Posting URL field. Like every field in the Edit panel, it saves as soon as you click away — see Editing jobs.

You don't need to type the full address. If you enter a bare domain like example.com/job/123, Trackur automatically adds the prefix and saves it as https://example.com/job/123. Addresses that already start with http:// or https:// are left untouched.

Once a job has a posting URL, it shows up in two places:

  • On the board card — a Job posting link with an external-link icon appears near the bottom of the card. Clicking it opens the posting in a new tab.
  • In the Edit panel — an Open link appears beside the Posting URL label, which also opens the posting in a new tab.
  • Posting URLs can be up to 500 characters.
  • Only addresses that start with http:// or https:// become clickable links. Because Trackur adds the https:// prefix to anything you type in the field, values without it mostly arrive via CSV import — an imported cell containing a note like "see email" is stored and shown in the field, but no Job posting or Open link renders for it.

Links open in a new tab

Both the card link and the Edit panel's Open link open the posting in a new browser tab, so you never lose your place in Trackur.
