Halcyon Group · reminder sent to Dana
Marcus Okafor · introduced by youThe honest truth
Your clients run their job search in files you never see.
So every session opens with ten minutes of catching up: who replied, which interview moved, which CV went to which company. The coaching gets whatever time is left.
Before
The old way
- The networking list is a tab in your client’s spreadsheet you see once a month
- You hear about the interview the day after it happened
- LinkedIn drafts go back and forth in WhatsApp until nobody knows which one is final
- Six versions of the CV in an email thread, and no record of which went where
- Booking, invoices and the program live in three more tools
With CoachfulThe new way
- Each client keeps a private tracker, and you open and edit the same records
- Interviews sit on the application with prep notes, and the client is reminded the day before
- Drafts live in a content plan, with comments from both of you on each post
- A master CV, with tailored copies linked to the role each one was made for
- Sessions, agreements, payments and programs run in the same account
The Career Coaching power-up
Connections, applications, posts and CV, in one tracker you both use.
01
Every contact worth knowing, with the next step attached
Clients log the people worth knowing, with company, job title, LinkedIn and how they met, then move each one from identified to contacted, introduced, meeting booked, met and relationship active. Each contact can carry one open follow-up with a reminder, and an introduction with no meeting after three days turns into a follow-up by itself, so a warm lead does not quietly go cold.

Every application, its stage and the interview tomorrow
Each role gets its own record: the job ad, salary, hiring manager and recruiter, and a stage that runs from preparing through recruiter screen, hiring manager, panel and final interview to offer. Every stage change is kept. Interviews hold the format, the interviewers, the prep notes you agreed and the feedback afterwards, and the client is reminded the day before.

LinkedIn posts that go out on the day you planned
Posts are filed under the three to five themes your client wants to be known for, and each one moves from idea to drafting, client revision, approved and published. You comment on the draft where they write it. Once a week they type in followers, profile views and post impressions, and the growth line runs from their first check-in to today.

A master CV and a tailored copy for every role that matters
One master CV in structured sections, from the executive summary and core competencies to experience, key achievements, certifications and languages. The achievement builder asks for the situation, the action, the result and a number. Tailored copies link to the application they were made for, either of you can comment on a section, and every version exports to PDF or Word.

Reminders
Clients get the nudge on the right morning, so you stop chasing.
Reminders go to the client, never to you, in their own timezone. You choose which kinds are on for your practice, and can silence them for one client.

Know whose search is stalling before the session starts
The Career overview gives you a card per client with their connections and applications funnels, overdue clients first. Up next lists every follow-up, interview, meeting and planned post due across your roster. Reminders go to the client, never to you, in their own timezone, and you decide which kinds are on for the whole practice and for each client.
- A card per client: connections, contacted, introduced and successful
- Applications, applied, interviewing and offers on the same card
- Overdue clients first, then whoever has something due this week
- Up next across every client: follow-ups, interviews, meetings and planned posts
- Two optional home widgets: Career: what’s due, and Job search pipeline
- Switch a tracker, a module or reminders off for one client without touching the rest
- Copy contacts onto another client’s list, with your notes left behind unless you tick them
The rest of a career coaching business, in the same account
The tracker sits inside Coachful, so the practice around it is already there: booking pages with calendar sync, built-in video or Zoom, Meet and Teams links, coaching agreements with e-signature, payments through Stripe or Razorpay, multi-week programs, group programs with a cohort group for each intake, a website with a blog and funnels, and the iOS and Android client app with your branding.
- Booking pages with availability rules and two-way Google, Apple and Outlook sync
- Built-in video, or Zoom, Google Meet and Teams links created for you
- Coaching agreements with e-signature, sent before the first call
- One-time payments, subscriptions and payment plans, with a 0% platform fee
- Group programs that create a cohort group with a feed, group chat and group calls
- A section-based website with a blog and booking, application and checkout funnels
- An iOS and Android client app with your branding, inside the Coachful app
Plain limits
Know the edges before you move clients over.
Three things the career tracker does not do, so nothing surprises you in week one.
LinkedIn numbers are typed in
Clients log followers, profile views and post impressions once a week. Coachful does not connect to LinkedIn or read anything from their account.
It does not find or apply for jobs
There is no job board and no auto-apply. The tracker holds the roles your client chooses to go after, and the people they choose to reach.
Recruiters will want a different tool
Each tracker belongs to one client and the coaches who work with them. It is not an applicant tracking system for recruiters or hiring teams.
