Who is Sirius, your AI guide?

Sirius is the AI agent built into Woodle Career (Pro plan). It reads the context of your applications and acts directly: create or update an application, schedule an interview, write a cover letter, draft a contextual follow-up email, prepare your interviews with a personalised checklist, or dissect your CV in seconds. Sirius is a real agent — it takes concrete actions on your pipeline, always with your confirmation for write operations.

Is Woodle Career really free?

Yes, with no time limit. The free plan gives access to unlimited applications, Kanban, statistics, and recommended offers from Jooble, Adzuna and France Travail. The Pro plan at €9.99/month unlocks interview email reminders (opt-in setting), keyword job search, CSV import, customisable dashboard and calendar sync.

Can I try the Pro plan before paying?

Yes — {days} days of full free access (Sirius, Daily Brief, customisable dashboard…). Like Notion, Linear or Spotify, your card is required at activation to secure the payment method, but no amount is charged during the trial. You can cancel in one click before the {days}-day mark and nothing will be debited.

Yes. Your data is encrypted and hosted on AWS in Europe, with Row-Level Security enabled on the database — only you have access to your applications.

Can I cancel my Pro subscription at any time?

Yes, no commitment. Cancellation is done in one click from your profile page. Pro access remains active until the end of the paid period.

How do interview reminders and follow-up alerts work?

Two mechanisms. Application follow-ups arrive as in-app push notifications (default 7 days, adjustable in your settings). Interview reminders are opt-in by email: enable the option to receive an email 24h or 48h before each interview, with your preparation notes. Sirius (Pro plan) can also help you draft a contextual follow-up email that you send yourself.

Can I import my existing applications?

Yes, and it's free. Import a CSV file formatted according to the template available in the app. Your data is integrated in seconds. CSV export is reserved for the Pro plan.

Does the app work on mobile?

Yes, fully. Woodle Career is responsive and has a dedicated mobile navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, optimised for touch.

How to follow up on a job application without sounding pushy (with examples)

You sent your application ten days ago. Nothing. You're hesitating: follow up or wait? If the role really interests you, don't wait any longer. A well-crafted follow-up email can be the difference between a forgotten file and an interview.

When to follow up — not before 7 days, not after 14

The useful window is between 7 and 14 days after sending your application.

Before 7 days: premature. Most recruiters take a week to sort applications and schedule first calls.
After 14 days: your application starts being forgotten — but the recruiter may also read your silence as a lack of interest. The longer you wait, the more your follow-up needs a real reason (new info, new context).

If the posting mentions a deadline or processing time, adjust: follow up 3-4 days after the announced date if you've heard nothing.

The three golden rules

1. Short

A follow-up reads in 30 seconds. Maximum 130 words. The recruiter doesn't have time, and you don't have anything new to say — unless you actually do, in which case skip to rule 3.

2. Factual

No conditionals ("I would be delighted"), no "I hope you're doing well". You remind them of your application, you confirm interest, you suggest a chat. That's it.

3. Real added value if you have it

If you have news — a recent project, a completed course, a meeting at a trade show — this is the moment to mention it. Otherwise, stay neutral: a plain follow-up is more than enough.

Three examples that work

Example 1 — Plain follow-up, after 9 days

Subject: Following up on my application — Systems Engineer

Hello Ms Dupont,

9 days ago I sent you my application for the Systems Engineer position (ref. SYS-2026-042). I'm following up to confirm my continued interest and to ask whether you've been able to review my file.

I remain available for a short call at your convenience — 15 minutes would be great.

Best, Marc Dubois

Example 2 — Follow-up with added value

Subject: Product Designer application — recent project

Hello Lila,

I'm following up on my Product Designer application sent on 8 May. In the meantime, I've published a piece on how we rebuilt the design system on my team, which touches several of the challenges you describe in the posting: [link].

If it helps clarify my profile, I'd be glad to chat. I'm free for a short call this week or next.

Best, Sarah K.

Example 3 — Follow-up after initial decline, spontaneous application

Subject: Following our exchange — still interested

Hello Pierre,

You wrote to me in March that the Project Manager role was no longer open. I'm reaching out: if a similar opportunity comes up in the coming months, I'd still be interested.

Since then I've moved into leading a €250K cloud migration project, which complements my commercial background well. Updated CV attached.

Looking forward, Jean L.

What to avoid

Empty filler: "I remain at your disposal for any further information" — meaningless, we already know.
Begging tone: "I would be infinitely grateful" — you're applying, not pleading.
Guilt-tripping reminders: "I haven't had a reply to my last email…" — the recruiter knows, no need to point it out.
More than two follow-ups: if after two politely-spaced emails you have nothing, move on. Pushing further damages your image more than anything.

The right habit: track your applications

A well-dosed follow-up requires knowing exactly when you applied, when you followed up, and where each file stands. That's exactly what Woodle Career does: 7 days after an unanswered application, you get an alert, and Sirius drafts a follow-up email tailored to the role. You never forget anyone, and you never follow up at the wrong moment.
