Using CSV Exports

In Excel/Google Sheets:

Create Pivot Tables

Analyze applications by:

Company
Status
Month
Job board source
Response time ranges

Build Custom Charts

Visualize:

Applications over time
Response rates by source
Interview conversion funnel
Time-to-offer distribution

Calculate Custom Metrics

Formula examples:

// Average response time
=AVERAGE(Response_Time_Days)

// Interview conversion rate
=COUNTIF(Status,"Interviewing")/COUNTA(Company)

// Best performing job boards
=COUNTIFS(Source,"LinkedIn",Status,"Interviewing")

In Data Analysis Tools:

import pandas as pd

# Load ApplyTrack export
df = pd.read_csv('applytrack_export.csv')

# Calculate response rate by job board
response_rates = df.groupby('Source').agg({
    'Response_Date': lambda x: x.notna().sum() / len(x)
}).round(3)

print(response_rates)

# Find fastest-responding companies
df['Response_Time_Days'].nsmallest(10)

# Conversion funnel analysis
funnel = df['Status'].value_counts()
print(f"Applied: {funnel.get('Applied', 0)}")
print(f"Interviewing: {funnel.get('Interviewing', 0)}")
print(f"Offer: {funnel.get('Offer Extended', 0)}")

Using JSON Exports

Developer Integrations:

const fs = require('fs');

// Load ApplyTrack export
const data = JSON.parse(
  fs.readFileSync('applytrack_export.json', 'utf8')
);

// Get active applications
const active = data.applications.filter(
  app => ['applied', 'interviewing'].includes(app.status)
);

console.log(`Active pipeline: ${active.length}`);

// Calculate average response time
const avgResponse = data.applications
  .filter(app => app.metrics.response_time_hours)
  .reduce((sum, app) => sum + app.metrics.response_time_hours, 0) / 
  data.applications.length;

console.log(`Avg response time: ${(avgResponse / 24).toFixed(1)} days`);

// Top companies by stage
const byCompany = data.applications.reduce((acc, app) => {
  acc[app.company] = acc[app.company] || [];
  acc[app.company].push(app);
  return acc;
}, {});
