in-progress-board	In Progress Board	Post-application kanban board for tracking fewer, higher-attention jobs through interview and offer stages.	3

What it is

The In Progress Board is a kanban view for jobs that have moved beyond initial application.

It groups jobs into post-application lanes:

Recruiter Screen
Assessment
Team Match
Technical Interview
Final Round
Offer
Closed

Why it exists

JobOps uses two operational modes:

Pre-application tracking (Jobs page): large volume, pipeline and readiness focused.
Post-application tracking (In Progress Board): smaller volume, higher attention per job.

Once a job enters the post-application phase, each opportunity usually needs tighter follow-up, interview prep, and deliberate stage management. A kanban board is better for that than a large list.

How to use it

Open In Progress Board.
Review jobs by lane to see current stage distribution.
Drag a card to a new lane to log a stage transition.
Open a card to view full job details and timeline.
Use sorting (Recent / Title / Company) to prioritize review.

Moving jobs into post-application

Jobs typically move into post-application tracking when they receive a response after applying.

This can happen via:

Tracking Inbox review/automation (recommended)
Manual stage transitions in job detail/timeline tools

API examples

# List in-progress jobs
curl "http://localhost:3001/api/jobs?status=in_progress&view=list"

# Move a job to technical interview
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3001/api/jobs/<jobId>/stage-events" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "toStage": "technical_interview",
    "metadata": {
      "actor": "user",
      "eventType": "status_update",
      "eventLabel": "Moved to Technical Interview"
    }
  }'

Common problems

Board is empty

Confirm jobs have status in_progress.
Confirm stage events exist for applied jobs expected on the board.

A card appears in an unexpected lane

The board uses the latest stage event as source of truth.
Check timeline events for out-of-order or mistaken transitions.

Drag-and-drop move failed

Network/API error can roll back optimistic UI movement.
Retry move and check server logs for validation errors.
