Why GetDesq
Most people track their job search in a spreadsheet. Some use sticky notes. Neither tells you whether you're making progress – or why you're not getting callbacks. GetDesq does.
Drag-and-drop Kanban across every stage – Radar to Offer. Import from Seek in one click.
Capture achievements in STAR format as they happen. Always ready for the next interview.
Map job description keywords to your CV. See what you cover and what gaps to close before applying.
Create tailored CV and cover letter versions for different roles – managed and versioned in one place.
Give your recruiter shared access. They add jobs, leave notes, and update your board – all attributed.
Track
Drag jobs across columns as you progress – Radar, Applied, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer. Add notes, contacts, and tasks to each one. Paste a Seek URL and we'll import the job description automatically.
No more wondering where things stand. The board gives you a complete, live picture of your entire search at a glance.
Build
