Reading the Report

Job search analytics from your own tracker: response rate and interviews by job source, form, location, title, fit score and resume, plus what to change.

/seekter-report is your job search analytics: how many applications got a reply, which job sources and resumes bring interviews, and what to change. It's read-only: it never applies, moves a record or edits your settings.

Before You Run It

Run /seekter-log first. The report reads your tracker, not your email, so replies that haven't been logged don't show up in it.

/seekter-report

Weekly is a good rhythm. It's saved as runs/report-<date>.md, and you get the short version in the chat.

What It Counts

For the last week and for all time:

  • Applications sent, skips, and hand-offs still waiting on you.
  • Replies: interviews, offers and rejections, as a share of what was sent: your response rate. Rejections count; a reply is a reply. The breakdowns below are stricter and only count applications that have been decided.
  • Interviews: anything that reached interviewing or offer, even if it was later rejected.
  • How long companies take to answer.
  • The most common skip reasons.

The Breakdowns

Each number is broken down by what you can change:

ByWhat it tells you
Source and apply pathWhich sources and form types bring replies
Form systemThe application system each went through
Location trackRemote anywhere, ambiguous remote, or relocation. Many sends and no replies is a targeting signal.
Title and seniorityWhich role families answer
Fit scoreWhether your scores predict replies, which is the reason the score exists
Resume typeWhich resume was sent, and how it did
MonthWhether the funnel is moving

You can run any of them yourself. By fit score:

By source, since a date:

Reading the Numbers Fairly

  • In-flight applications don't count against a rate. One still waiting has its own column, so a week of fresh sends doesn't drag a group down.
  • Small groups show counts, not rates. Fewer than five decided applications prints n<5 instead of a percentage.
  • With only a handful of interviews, groups are compared on replies, and the number of interviews is stated rather than turned into a rate.

What to Change

The report ends with three to five plain observations, each with the number behind it, and at most two suggested changes, each tied to a file: a query in profile/settings.json, a rule in profile/profile.md. Nothing is changed until you say yes.
