Save Indeed Jobs to Google Sheets

Job hunting on Indeed without a system is a recipe for missed opportunities. You apply to dozens of jobs, lose track of which ones you’ve heard back from, and forget important details about positions.

With Add to Sheets, you can save Indeed job listings directly to Google Sheets as you browse. Build a job application tracker without manual data entry.

Why Track Job Applications in Google Sheets?

• Never double-apply — Track every job you’ve applied to
• Follow up on time — Know when to check back
• Compare offers — Salary, benefits, location side by side
• Prepare for interviews — All job details in one place
• Spot patterns — See which types of applications get responses

Pro Tips for Job Tracking

Set Up Keyboard Shortcuts

Job hunting is a numbers game. Speed matters.

1. Open Add to Sheets settings
2. Assign keyboard shortcuts:
   • Ctrl+Shift+1 → Job Title
   • Ctrl+Shift+2 → Company
   • Ctrl+Shift+3 → Salary

Now you can capture job info in seconds.

Use Conditional Formatting

In Google Sheets, color-code your status column:

• Green → Interview/Offer
• Yellow → Applied (waiting)
• Red → Rejected
• Gray → Withdrawn

Track Your Metrics

Add a summary section:

• Total applications this week
• Response rate (interviews / applications)
• Average days to hear back
• Top performing job titles

Save Job Descriptions

For interview prep, save the full job description:

1. Select all the job description text
2. Save to a “Description” column
3. Review before your interview

Save Jobs Faster with Quick Row Entry

With Add to Sheets Pro, use Quick Row Entry to save complete job listings in one step:

1. Open Quick Row Entry from the extension
2. A form appears with all your columns: Job Title, Company, Salary, Location, URL, Notes
3. Fill in each field (copy-paste from the listing)
4. Submit—entire row saved at once
5. Move to next job

This is much faster than saving each field individually, especially when you’re scanning through dozens of listings.

Pro also includes:

• Multiple keyboard shortcuts for different workflows
• Save to multiple sheets (e.g., separate sheets by job type)
• Find All Links to extract job URLs from search results pages

Also Works With Other Job Sites

Add to Sheets works on any job board:

• LinkedIn Jobs
• Glassdoor
• ZipRecruiter
• AngelList
• Company career pages

Use the same spreadsheet to track jobs from all sources.

Common Questions

Can I save multiple jobs at once from search results? Currently, you save one job at a time from the full listing page. This ensures you get complete, accurate info for each job.

Should I save jobs before or after applying? Save immediately when you find an interesting job. Update the status after you apply.

How do I track applications I already submitted? Manually add past applications to your sheet. Going forward, save before you apply.

Does it work with Indeed’s mobile app? No, Add to Sheets is a Chrome extension. Use Indeed in your desktop browser to save jobs.
