Job-search tool comparison checklist
Thirteen criteria down the side (free tier terms, card requirement, data handling, tracker, tailoring grounded in your document, job-specific checks, cover letters, interview practice, employer checks, exports, price, cancellation, date checked) with columns for three tools and Luceria. The Luceria column has a source URL and branch review date in every row; verify the live terms before comparing. Other vendor columns are blank for you to fill from their own pages.
Direct downloads: no account, email address or payment. Formats: Excel.
What is inside
- Thirteen criteria rows with a pre-filled Luceria column and empty columns for three other tools.
- A source-and-date column populated for each Luceria row, with an instruction to check the live terms; record other vendors' URLs and dates in your own copy.
- A 'Meets my need?' dropdown (Yes, Partly, No, Unknown) under each tool column, so you record a judgement as well as the facts.
How to use it
- Copy each tool's own pricing and features page into its column, with the URL and the date; prices and tiers change.
- A blank cell means you did not find the information, not that the tool lacks the feature.
- Compare on the criteria that matter for your search, not the number of ticks.
Why it is built this way
- Only Luceria's column is pre-filled because Luceria can state its own terms; other vendors' terms are theirs to state, so the checklist asks you to record them from source.
- The date column exists because a comparison without dates is misleading within months.
Accessibility
The workbook uses a frozen header row, plain text labels and list dropdowns, with formulas only where a sheet calculates something; nothing depends on colour alone (shading only marks input cells). It is a standard .xlsx file whose structure was checked programmatically; it has not been tested in every spreadsheet application. This page lists every sheet and column.
