Adding Contacts

Every job search involves people — recruiters, hiring managers, referrals, and more. JobHawk keeps track of your contacts and links them to the applications they're connected to.

Add a Contact

  1. Click Contacts in the sidebar.
  2. Click Add Contact.
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Name — The contact's full name
    • Email — Their email address
    • Phone (optional) — A phone number for quick reference
    • Company — The company they work for
    • Role/title — Their position (e.g., "Senior Recruiter")
    • Contact type — Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Referral, or other
  4. Click Save.

Add Contact form

Linking contacts to applications helps you see who is involved in each role at a glance.

  1. Open an application from the board or list view.
  2. In the Contacts section, click Add Contact.
  3. Search for an existing contact or create a new one.
  4. The contact now appears on the application, and the application appears on the contact's profile.

Note

A single contact can be linked to multiple applications, and an application can have multiple contacts. This is useful when one recruiter is managing several roles you've applied to.
