Job boards are where most people start, and their built-in trackers are convenient for what you do on that board — saved jobs, an applied list, an application timeline. For a search that lives entirely on one platform, that’s enough.
They break down the moment your search includes more than one source. LinkedIn doesn’t know about your Indeed applications. Indeed doesn’t know about the recruiter who emailed you. Neither knows about the referral your friend made or the cold outreach you sent on a company’s own careers page.
Use job boards to discover opportunities. Use Hey Vitae to manage everything that happens next — across every board, recruiter, referral, and source — with interview prep, follow-up reminders, document versioning, and the rest of the search around it.
Built for candidate momentum
Less setup, clearer next steps.
Hey Vitae is intentionally organized around the parts of the search candidates actually have to manage: roles, stages, prep, documents, follow-ups, and outcomes. Instead of asking you to build your own system or endlessly rewrite materials, it gives each job a clearer next step.
- See which jobs need attention
- Prep from the role you’re actually interviewing for
- Keep notes, docs, reminders, and outcomes connected
See it for yourself.
Free to start. Add your active roles in a few minutes and see how it feels with the whole search in one place.

What is Hey Vitae?
Hey Vitae is a job-search workspace for candidates. It helps you track every role you're interested in, prep for interviews around the actual job, manage follow-ups, organize resumes and notes, and see what's actually moving — without turning your search into spreadsheet chaos.
Can I import jobs from LinkedIn and Indeed?
You can save jobs from supported sites with the extension, paste a job URL or description, or forward recruiter emails to your personal @heyvitae.co alias — and the job auto-attaches. You’re not locked into one board.
Can I track interviews and follow-ups?
Yes. Interviews are first-class — you can prep with role-specific kits, log notes during and after, and schedule follow-up reminders. Threads from forwarded recruiter emails link to the right job automatically.
Does Hey Vitae apply to jobs for me?
No — and that's intentional. Auto-applying tends to produce noise, not interviews. Hey Vitae helps you apply more deliberately and follow through, so the roles you do pursue actually move forward.
Is Hey Vitae free?
Yes — Free covers up to 20 tracked jobs, 3 saved documents, and limited AI boosts. No card needed to start. Pro is $19/month (or $54 for a 3-month pass) when your search picks up.
Is my job search data private?
Yes. Your tracked jobs, notes, documents, and emails are private to your account. Spotlight pages are only public if you choose to publish them — and you can keep them private or share role-specific links. See the privacy page for full details on data handling.
