Huntr

What is Huntr?

Huntr is a job search organiser that combines an application tracker, an AI resume builder and a browser extension. You save roles to a Kanban-style board and move them through stages such as Applied, Interview and Offer.

Its AI tailors resumes to a job description, flags missing keywords and drafts cover letters. Huntr says over 500,000 job seekers have used it. This is huntr.co, not the huntr.com bug bounty platform.

Key Features

• Job tracker board: Huntr organises applications on a Kanban-style board with custom stages such as Applied, Interview and Offer. Each card stores the job description, salary, location, notes and dates in one place.
• Chrome job clipper: The Chrome extension saves listings from major job boards to your board in one click. Huntr’s site shows the extension with a 4.9-star rating from about 1,100 reviews.
• Application autofill: Huntr autofills repeated application fields such as name, email, phone and work history on what it says are thousands of websites. Reviewers find it works best on standard applicant tracking systems.
• AI resume builder: The resume builder creates base resumes from templates and offers AI help with summaries, bullet points, skills and headlines. Free users can keep unlimited base resumes and export them as PDFs.
• AI resume tailoring: Huntr matches your resume to a saved job by extracting keywords, qualifications and responsibilities from the posting. It flags missing keywords and shows a match score before you apply.
• AI cover letters: The cover letter generator drafts a letter from your resume and the saved job description. Drafts stay linked to that application, so each record holds the documents you actually sent.
• Contact and interview tracking: Huntr logs recruiters, hiring managers and referrals against each job card, along with interview rounds and follow-up tasks. Networking and interview preparation stay tied to the right application.
• Job search metrics: Metrics dashboards and a map view show pipeline progress over time and commute distances for saved roles. These views help you check whether applications are turning into interviews.

Pros

• Clear visual layout: The Kanban board shows every application’s stage at a glance, and reviewers say it beats a spreadsheet. The learning curve is short, so most people organise an active search within minutes.
• Useful free plan: The free plan covers 100 jobs, the clipper, autofill and unlimited base resumes. Many job seekers can run a whole search without paying and upgrade only for heavier AI use.
• All-in-one workflow: Tracking, resume tailoring, contacts and autofill share one workspace. Moving from a saved job to a tailored resume and a submitted form avoids copying details between separate tools.
• Time-saving extension: One-click clipping and autofill cut repetitive data entry across dozens of applications. Reviewers describe the time saved as meaningful for high-volume applicants who submit many forms each week.
• Established user base: Huntr says over 500,000 job seekers have used it, and reviewers describe it as a reputable company with generally happy users. Cancellation is self-service, and you keep your data after downgrading.

Cons

• Expensive monthly rate: Pro costs $40 a month, which reviewers call one of the pricier job search tools. Longer terms bring the effective rate down to about $26.66 a month, but only if you pay six months upfront.
• No job discovery: Huntr does not find openings or send job alerts for you. You still source every role yourself on other job boards and company sites, then clip it into the tracker.
• No automatic applying: Every application remains manual, even with autofill helping on forms. Job seekers who want bulk or automated applying need a different type of tool, as Huntr only organises and speeds up the process.
• Patchy autofill: The extension handles standard applicant tracking systems well but struggles with custom forms. Fields can be left blank or filled wrongly, so each form needs a check before you submit it.
• Limited free AI: Free users get only two tailored resumes, even though the free plan tracks up to 100 jobs. Anyone applying widely will hit this cap quickly and face the $40 monthly upgrade.
• Surface-level resume tools: One review calls the resume optimisation surface-level compared with dedicated resume builders. Applicants who need deep rewriting or design control may still want a specialist tool.

Who is Using Huntr?

• Active job seekers: High-volume applicants keep follow-ups in order.
• Career changers: They reshape resumes with keyword matching.
• Bootcamp and university staff: Career teams monitor student searches.
• Career coaches: Coaches track client pipelines.

What Makes Huntr Unique?

Huntr ties each saved role to a resume tailored for that posting. The extension clips the job, the board tracks it, and the AI checks your resume against its keywords, so one record holds the listing, your tailored documents, your contacts and your progress through each interview stage.

• Platforms: Web and mobile apps.
• Browser extension: Chrome clipper and autofill.

How We Rated It

Summary

Huntr suits job seekers who want tracking and resume tailoring in one tool. The free plan handles organisation well, but its best AI features sit behind a costly Pro plan, and it will not find jobs for you. If you upgrade, the six-month term cuts the monthly cost by about a third.
