TIP

Use the browser extension religiously. It saves 5 minutes of manual data entry per job, which adds up over hundreds of applications.

TIP

Immediately after an interview, use the Notes field to document every question asked and your key talking points for future rounds.

TIP

Set a reminder for 7-10 days after applying to 'Follow Up'. This simple habit dramatically increased my response rate.

TIP

Don't just use the default statuses. Create custom ones like 'Researching' or 'Networking Intro Sent' to visualize your true pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free plan good enough for a serious job search?+
Honestly, yes, to start. I used it for a month. The 3 AI resume builds and core tracker are powerful. You'll only hit limits if you're applying to 20+ diverse roles monthly and need a unique resume for each, which is when Pro becomes essential.
How accurate and useful is the AI Resume Tailor?+
It's very good at keyword extraction and suggesting relevant action verbs. In my tests, it boosted my resume's ATS score. However, treat it as a collaborative editor, not an author. You must refine its suggestions to ensure they truthfully reflect your experience.
Can I collaborate with a career coach or spouse on my hunt within Huntr?+
No, and this is a notable gap. There's no shared access or commenting feature. The best workaround is to export your board or share your login, which isn't ideal for true collaboration.
What happens to my data if I cancel my Pro subscription?+
You revert to the Free plan limits. All your jobs and notes remain, but you lose access to advanced analytics, and you can't create new AI resumes if you've exceeded the free monthly quota. Your existing documents stay stored.
Does Huntr automatically apply to jobs for me?+
No, and don't trust any tool that promises this fully. Huntr is a powerful organizer and optimizer. The browser extension simplifies saving jobs and can auto-fill some fields, but you are still in control of curating and submitting each application.
