Features of HuntingPad

One-Click Job Capture

Ditch the copy-paste nightmare. Wherever you find a job—be it LinkedIn, a niche board, or a company's career page—a single click on the HuntingPad icon instantly saves the title, company, link, and all crucial details. Your tab explosion ends here. Everything is auto-organized in your personal dashboard, turning chaotic browsing into a streamlined pipeline of opportunities without ever leaving the page you're on.

AI-Powered Resume Match & Insights

Go beyond guessing if you're a good fit. Our built-in AI analyzes the job description the moment you save it and compares it to your uploaded resume. You get an instant compatibility score and actionable, specific suggestions on which skills to highlight or tweak to make your application resonate. It’s like having a career coach in your browser, ensuring every application you send is tailored to stand out in a sea of generic submissions.

Automatic Application Tracking

Throw your manual spreadsheet into the digital abyss where it belongs. HuntingPad automatically logs every job you save, tracks its status (Saved, Applied, Interviewing, Offer, Rejected), and records key dates. No more frantic searches to remember which role that recruiter is calling about. Your entire search history is organized, searchable, and visually clear, giving you total control and zero mental overhead.

Privacy-First, Local Data Storage

Your job search is your business—literally. We don't mess with your privacy. All your data—your saved jobs, your resume, your notes—is stored locally on your own computer. Nothing is sent to or stored on our servers. This means superior security, blazing-fast performance, and the peace of mind that your sensitive career information isn't floating around in the cloud.

Use Cases of HuntingPad

The Tech Professional Tracking Complex Stacks

For developers and engineers applying to 50+ roles, remembering which company wanted Python vs. Go, or which role required AWS expertise, is impossible. HuntingPad lets you save and tag each job with the specific tech stack, so you can instantly filter and prepare for interviews with the right talking points. No more embarrassing mix-ups during technical screens.

The Senior Manager Orchestrating Multiple Opportunities

When you're navigating executive roles, each application involves nuanced resume tailoring and multiple touchpoints. HuntingPad’s dashboard provides a high-level overview of all active opportunities, tracks conversations with recruiters, and sets smart reminders for follow-ups. This turns a complex, multi-threaded search into a manageable strategic campaign.

The Volume Applicant Escaping Spreadsheet Hell

If you're in a competitive field requiring 100+ applications, manual tracking is a career killer. HuntingPad automates the entire log, so you never waste time updating cells or lose a job link. You maintain momentum, apply faster, and have perfect records for analyzing what's working—all without the soul-crushing admin.

The Career Changer Organizing Different Pathways

Exploring roles in different industries or functions? Keep your search segments flawlessly organized. Use HuntingPad to categorize jobs by field (e.g., Marketing, Project Management), save different resume versions for each, and track progress separately. This clarity prevents confusion and helps you strategize effectively across multiple potential career paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is HuntingPad different from tools like Teal or Huntr?

Does HuntingPad work on all job sites?

Yes! HuntingPad is built for universal compatibility. While it works seamlessly on major platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed, its one-click capture functionality works on ANY website with a job posting. If you can view it in your browser, you can save it to HuntingPad.
