Every application,
even the ones from elsewhere.

One board, grouped by where each application stands. See the ones that need you first, then interviews, then the waiting.

Verified by Cortopus, or added by you.

Applications to companies hiring on Cortopus update on their own: stages, reply dates and interview times come straight from the team. Anything else, you add yourself and follow with your own stages and private notes.

Your next step, always first

  • The job's real journeyStages come from the company's own workflow, with a reply date wherever the team set one.

Offers you answer in place

When an offer arrives, read it and accept or decline right where the rest of the application lives.

Profiles and CV builder

A profile for every
kind of role.

Keep a general profile and a card for each kind of role you're after, each with its own CV. Apply with the one that fits, and write the CV right here.

One card per kind of role

A general profile, plus a card for each direction, each with its own CV. The company gets a copy of the card you chose, exactly as you sent it.

A CV builder that reads like a recruiter

Create, edit and export CVs inside Cortopus, with an ATS score for how well applicant tracking systems can read them.

What a company sees, and what never reaches it

Sharing a profile never means sharing your whole workspace. Your private side stays private, always.

A company sees
  • Your name and contact details
  • A copy of the profile card you applied with, as you sent it
  • Its CV
  • A verified badge, once you've verified your phone and email
Never reaches them
  • The name you gave your profile
  • Your private notes and to-dos
  • The labels you give your CVs
  • Edits made after you applied

Insights

See what actually
works.

Insights compare how each CV and profile did: how many progressed, how many reached an interview. Then send more of what works. You also see how quickly companies usually reply.

  • What works bestWhich CV or profile progressed the most, side by side.
  • Reply timesHow quickly the companies you applied to tend to reply, so you know when to wait and when to follow up.
  • Where it all standsA weekly trend, where your applications stand, and how well your skills match.

Find jobs and companies

Search open roles.
From employers who are real.

The job board is public: search the full text of every open job, filter down, and browse the companies directory. A company's jobs only go public once it has proved it owns its website, so what you find is hiring for real.

  • Full-text search and filtersFind the role by what it says, then narrow by place, type and date.
  • Verified employers onlyEmployers prove their website domain before any of their jobs appear.
  • The process is on the job pageYou see every stage of the process before you apply.

Our promise to candidates

What's yours
stays yours.

How we keep your side private

  • Your private side

    Notes, to-dos, CV labels and profile names never reach a company.

  • Verified, never labelled

    Verify your phone and email and teams see a badge. Nobody ever sees an "unverified" label.

  • Real employers only

    A company's jobs go public only once it proves it owns its website.

  • Your data, your call

    Two-step sign-in, a full data export, and account deletion in your settings.

Before you start

Good questions,
straight answers.

Do I need the company to use Cortopus?

No. Applications to companies that hire on Cortopus are marked Verified by Cortopus and update on their own. Any other application you can add yourself and follow next to the rest. You can already link Gmail or Outlook, read-only; spotting hiring emails in them comes next.

What does a company see when I apply?

Your name and contact details, and a copy of the profile you applied with (headline, about, skills and links) with its CV, as they were when you applied. Never your profile's name, your private notes and to-dos, or the labels you give your CVs.

If I edit a profile, does the company see the change?

No. A company keeps the copy it received when you applied. Your edits apply to the applications you send next.

Does it cost anything?

No. Cortopus is free for candidates.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in any modern browser, on your computer and on your phone. There's no separate mobile app yet.

Can I take my data with me, or delete it?

Yes. In your settings you can export your data and delete your account. You also choose which notifications you get, by email or in the app, and set quiet hours.
