Data Transfer Guide

Huntr doesn't offer direct data export for resumes or job tracking. To transfer data: 1) Manually copy resume text from Huntr's builder to a text document. 2) Screenshot or export your job application list via Huntr's dashboard. 3) For Kickresume import: paste resume content directly into their editor, section by section. Use Kickresume's AI suggestions to enhance the transferred content. Job tracking data cannot be imported to Kickresume—maintain it separately in a spreadsheet. The migration focuses on resume content rather than complete data transfer.
