All key metrics improved significantly, except for job listing click-through rate on mobile.
On closer investigation, I discovered that on certain mobile devices, job links were not rendering as intended and appeared too small to read.
Once this was addressed and aligned with the original designs, job CTR increased, and the dashboard bounce rate decreased as a result.

I like the tables that everything comes in. Makes it easy to read and the bullet point format of the list makes it easy to follow. I do like it. Gives you a really good snapshot of what you’ve applied for ... where you are up to, what you need to do next ... how many new jobs there are, what job boards you are working through"

One of the better ones I’ve seen in terms of presenting the information and giving you more information in terms of what is currently available, what you are doing, how many applications you’ve made. In the past when I’ve been applying via online job sites I had to track myself the information doing it the old fashioned way on a spreadsheet ... having this tools available on this dashboard is really good and it is one of the best sites I’ve seen for that”
