Career Ops is an open-source platform designed to help individuals manage their job search process with a structured, operations-style approach that treats career development like a pipeline. It provides a system for organizing job applications, tracking progress across different stages, and maintaining visibility into opportunities, much like a lightweight CRM tailored for job seekers. The project emphasizes clarity and accountability, enabling users to monitor applications, follow-ups, and outcomes in a centralized environment. It is typically built with modern web technologies, allowing for easy customization and self-hosting by developers who want full control over their data. Career Ops focuses on reducing the chaos and fragmentation that often comes with job searching by introducing a repeatable workflow that can be iterated and improved over time. It also supports the idea of data-driven job searching.
