Data Transfer Guide

Huntr doesn't offer direct data export to Resume.io, requiring manual transfer. First, export your Huntr resume as PDF or Word via the resume builder's download function. For application history, use Huntr's dashboard to copy-paste job details into a spreadsheet. In Resume.io, create a new resume and use the import function or manually paste sections into the editor. Resume.io accepts text from documents but not structured data imports. Copy work experience, education, and skills systematically. Resume.io's AI can then enhance the transferred content. Save application tracking data separately since Resume.io focuses solely on resume creation.
