A snapshot of what the tracker looks like in mid-November - peak UK Spring Week season. Each firm is one row, showing the active stage, progress through the process and a status pill.

The firm card detail view
What a single card actually contains
Click any firm card and you get the detail view: stage history, linked prep runs, readiness for the next stage, deadline countdown, notes. The data that makes the spreadsheet alternative useless by comparison.
Stage history
Applied
OA passed
HireVue submitted
First interview scheduled
Linked prep
HireVue practice runs
Live AI mock interviews
Technical questions
Firm research dossier
Every practice run you do on this firm shows up here automatically.
Readiness for next stage
A qualitative read on whether the prep volume matches what this stage typically requires.
Banding only - "Light", "Building", "Strong" - not a fake score. Helps you decide where the marginal hour matters most across firms.
The default stage flow
Seven stages, customisable per firm
The default stages cover 95% of graduate processes. Custom per-firm stages handle the rest - some MBBs add Solve before HireVue, some banks merge stages.
Plus parallel terminal stages: Rejected (auto-archives), Withdrawn, On hold.
What a spreadsheet cannot do
Why this beats Excel and Notion
One row per firm, sorted by what is live
Each firm is a single row. Active stage, progress, deadline, status pill - all on one line. Sorted by what is closest or most urgent, not alphabetically.
Practice runs pin to the firm
Twelve HireVue runs for Goldman? They show up on the Goldman card. Three live AI mocks for McKinsey? On the McKinsey card. The first tracker that actually links your prep to your applications.
Rejected firms tuck themselves away
Hit reject on a firm? The card slides into an archive section so your board stays focused on what is still live. Offers get a celebration moment. The whole flow respects the emotional weight of a long cycle.
Per-firm readiness analytics
A progress bar per card showing how prepared you are for the next stage. Goldman HireVue at 4 / 10 practice runs reads differently to 12 / 10. You see exactly where to invest the next hour.
Deadline-aware sorting
Cards sort by deadline by default - closest first. Combined with Firm Radar reminders, the next thing demanding your attention is always visible at the top of the board.
Shareable view-only link
Send a mentor or careers advisor a link to your board. They see stages, deadlines and prep progress without being able to edit. Useful for office hours conversations.
The basics
Why a graduate-recruitment tracker beats a spreadsheet
Most candidates start an application cycle with the best intentions: a spreadsheet with firms, deadlines, stages, notes. The spreadsheet works for the first three weeks. By week four it is out of date. By week six the candidate has stopped opening it. By week ten, when they need to know which Goldman interview was on which date, the spreadsheet is useless.
Notion tables and Trello boards have the same problem. They are general-purpose tools that you configure into a graduate-recruitment tracker, and the configuration overhead means you only update them when you remember. The data degrades.
The Pipeline Tracker is the same tool you would build in Notion if you had two days and discipline - but pre-built around graduate processes, with the stages already defined, with your prep auto-linked, and with rejected firms quietly archiving themselves. The difference is not the columns. The difference is whether you actually keep it updated, and a list view sorted by what is live with stage progress visible at a glance is the thing candidates actually maintain.
The tracker is free because the use case is broad and the value is in the visualisation, not in proprietary content. Most candidates set it up once at the start of a cycle, add firms as they discover them, and move cards as life happens. The board becomes the single source of truth for where you are with each firm - which matters most in late February when the offers and rejections compound and you cannot remember if you withdrew from EY or were rejected.

How it works
What you do, what the board does for you
Add the firms you target
Search any of the hundreds of firms tracked. Add them in seconds. Each firm becomes a card on your board, defaulting to "Watching" stage.
Move the card as you progress
Applied. OA passed. HireVue submitted. Interview booked. Drag the card through stages or update from the card detail view. Auto-saves.
See your full picture
Live count of active applications, prep done per firm, upcoming deadlines, rejection patterns. The board surfaces what to prioritise next.
How candidates use it
The cycle-long playbook
From candidates who used the Tracker across a full cycle and converted applications into offers.
- 01
Set up the board with target firms
Day 1Add 20 to 40 firms in the Watching column. Better to over-add than miss; you can always archive what does not interest you later. Takes 10 minutes.
- 02
Move cards as you apply
Cycle opensEach time you submit an application, drag the card from Watching to Applied. Adds a timestamp automatically. Most candidates do this 1-3 times a week during peak season.
- 03
Use the readiness score to prioritise
Mid-cycleWhen you have 15 active applications and 3 hours to prep, the readiness scores tell you where the marginal hour matters most. Firm at 60% readiness for a HireVue tomorrow trumps firm at 90% for an AC next month.
- 04
Archive ruthlessly
Late cycleReject yourself from firms you no longer want. Rejected ones auto-archive. The board should stay focused on the 5 to 10 live applications, not the 35 you started with.

FAQ
Pipeline Tracker questions, answered
What is the Pipeline Tracker?
A dashboard listing every firm you apply to as a single row. Each row shows the active stage, progress through the process, status (active / offer / rejected) and a link to the firm Hub. Stages go: Watching → Applied → Online Assessment → HireVue → First Interview → AC/Superday → Offer / Rejected. Built specifically for graduate recruitment workflows - the stages, the typical timeline, the visual rhythm of a UK or US cycle.
How is this different from a spreadsheet or Notion table?
Three differences. First, the stages are pre-built around how graduate processes actually run (not generic CRM columns you have to configure). Second, your practice sessions automatically pin to the firm card - 12 HireVue runs for Goldman? They show up on the Goldman card. Third, rejected firms auto-tuck themselves away so your board stays focused on what is still live. The board is the same as a spreadsheet in theory; in practice you'll actually keep it updated.
Does the tracker know about my Intervyo prep?
Yes. Every practice run (HireVue, live AI mock, AC simulator, Superday simulator, psychometric, technical) gets pinned to the firm card it belongs to. The card shows how many runs of each type, average score, and a readiness indicator for the next stage. You can see at a glance which firms you have prepared for and which still need work.
Can I track firms I am not using Intervyo prep for?
Yes. You can add any firm, any application, and progress it through the stages manually. The tracker is useful even if you only use the free tier - paid features just add the prep-linking and analytics on top.
What stages does the tracker support?
Default stages: Watching → Applied → Online Assessment → HireVue → First Interview → Assessment Centre / Superday → Offer / Rejected / Withdrawn. You can customise per firm if a firm runs a non-standard process (some MBBs add a Solve test before HireVue, some banks merge stages). The defaults cover 95% of graduate processes; the customisation handles the rest.
Is the Pipeline Tracker free?
Yes. The Pipeline Tracker is free for any signed-up user, unlimited firms, no card required. It is the simplest way to get into the platform without paying for anything. The prep-linking and analytics layers come with subscription tiers, but the core dashboard is always free.
How do rejected firms get handled?
When you set a firm to Rejected, the card slides into an Archive section that collapses by default. It is not deleted - the data and your prep history stay - but it does not clutter the active view. Most candidates have 20 to 40 active applications and a steadily growing archive across a cycle. The archive can be expanded if you want to look back.
Can I share my board with a mentor or careers advisor?
Yes. Each board has a shareable view-only link. Mentors and careers advisors can see your stages, applications and prep progress without being able to edit. Useful for office hours and recommendation conversations.
