A URL is not a copy
Employers remove postings, edit requirements, and reuse job IDs. Save the full text and the date you captured it. Keep the original URL too, since it may still help identify the applicant tracking system and application ID.
Keep a small set of exact fields
Save the company, title, location, work mode, compensation, responsibilities, requirements, visa information, application URL, source, and captured date. Store the unedited posting beside any summary.
Use the posting when an interview arrives
Compare the original responsibilities with the recruiter’s message and interview plan. You can prepare examples for the work they listed even when the public page no longer exists.
Add roles from the page or by hand
A browser companion can capture the visible posting and application fields. If a site blocks access or the page is already gone, paste the text or enter the role manually.
Keep a portable archive
Export the role record and its source text when you want a local copy. Your archive should remain useful even if you stop using the tracker.
