You choose to connect
Gmail import is not required for HireTrack. It begins only after you grant the separate Gmail permission in the app.
Optional Gmail import · beta
Bring recruiter emails into a clearer job-search pipeline.
HireTrack can help turn relevant Gmail conversations into trackable job applications—but only when you explicitly choose to connect an inbox. You can always track opportunities manually or with the browser extension.
How optional Gmail import works
Find job-related context
The beta workflow helps identify recruitment-related messages so you can review them as potential application records.
Keep the pipeline useful
Once imported, the opportunity sits with its status, timeline, notes, and next step—not lost in an inbox search.
Your job search still works without it
Gmail is a branch, not the starting line.
Primary activation in HireTrack is your first tracked application, regardless of where it comes from. Gmail import is a beta convenience for people who opt in; it is never a requirement for creating, tracking, or progressing an application.
