About HuntingPad

Alright, let's cut the corporate fluff. Job hunting in 2024 is a straight-up dumpster fire. You're out here, a certified professional with skills for days, but you're drowning in 50+ browser tabs, a spreadsheet from 2019, and the soul-crushing dread of "wait, did I already apply here?" HuntingPad is your escape hatch. It's the Chrome extension that lives right where the chaos happens—in your browser—and turns that hot mess into a streamlined, organized operation. Think of it as your personal job search hype-man and chief of staff, rolled into one. No more switching between a dozen apps or manually typing data like it's the dark ages. HuntingPad grabs jobs from ANY site (LinkedIn, Indeed, that random startup's career page) with one click, gives your resume an AI-powered compatibility score so you know what's worth your time, and tracks everything automatically. It's built for the modern grind, where sending 100+ applications is the new normal, and it keeps all your data locked down on your own device. If you're tired of your job search feeling like a second, unpaid job, this is your tool.

Features of HuntingPad

One-Click Job Capture from Anywhere

Stop the copy-paste madness. See a dope role on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or some niche tech blog? Just click the HuntingPad icon in your browser. Boom. It instantly sucks in all the deets—job title, company, link, description—and files it away in your organized dashboard. No more 23-tab purgatory or losing that perfect role in a sea of bookmarks. It captures from literally any job site, which is a game-changer.

AI-Powered Resume Match & Insights

This is where it gets smart. HuntingPad doesn't just store the job; it reads it. Upload your resume, and our AI will instantly scan a saved job and give you a compatibility score. It'll even suggest tweaks to help your resume better match the job description. Get insights on when to follow up or how to tailor your approach. It's like having a career coach in your pocket, helping you apply smarter, not just harder.

Automatic Application Tracking (No Spreadsheets)

Throw that clunky, never-updated Google Sheet in the virtual trash. HuntingPad automatically builds your tracking board for you. Every job you save gets logged with its status (Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected). It keeps notes, deadlines, and next steps all in one clean, visual place. Finally, you can actually remember what you said to that recruiter from Meta vs. Microsoft.

Privacy-First, Local Data Storage

We're not about that data-farming life. Your job search is personal, and your data should stay that way. HuntingPad stores everything locally on your computer, not on some random server. Your resumes, your job list, your notes—it's all yours. We literally can't see it. In a world where everything is tracked and sold, this is a breath of fresh, secure air.

Use Cases of HuntingPad

The Tech Pro Applying to 100+ Roles

You're a developer or engineer sifting through hundreds of postings, trying to match tech stacks and requirements. HuntingPad lets you shotgun-apply with precision. One-click save from GitHub Jobs or Stack Overflow, use the AI to match your skills to the listed tech, and track which companies you've already done coding challenges for. It turns a chaotic numbers game into a manageable, strategic campaign.

The Senior Manager Juggling Stealth Searches

You're employed but looking for the next big step, and discretion is key. With data stored locally on your device, there's no risk of info leaking from a cloud server. You can quickly save opportunities during a lunch break, track conversations with executive recruiters, and keep detailed notes on different companies—all in a private, secure dashboard that doesn't live on your company's network.

The Career Changer Navigating New Terrain

Switching industries is overwhelming. You're on 10 different job boards looking for roles that might fit your transferable skills. HuntingPad helps you organize research from disparate sources. Use the AI match score to see which of your past experiences best align with new roles, even if the job titles are different. Track which versions of your "story" (resume tweaks) you sent where.

The Organized Person Whose System Broke Down

You started with a Notion template or a beautiful spreadsheet, but after 30 applications, it's a ghost town. HuntingPad automates the tedious part (data entry) so your natural organization skills can be used for strategy, not admin. It seamlessly fits into your existing browser workflow, so you'll actually keep it updated without it feeling like a chore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HuntingPad really free to start?

Absolutely, no cap. You can install the Chrome extension and start using core features like one-click saving and local tracking without ever entering a credit card. We want you to experience the relief of an organized search first. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on our premium plans, so you can test drive the full AI-powered suite risk-free.

How does the AI resume matching work?

When you save a job, our AI scans the job description and compares it to the resume you've uploaded to HuntingPad. It looks for keyword matches, skill alignment, and experience relevance to give you a compatibility score and actionable tips. It's not magic—it's a smart tool to help you prioritize and personalize, so you know which applications deserve your extra energy.

Do I have to use it only on LinkedIn?

Not at all! That's the best part. While it works flawlessly on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor, HuntingPad is built to work on any website with a job posting. See a role on a company's direct career page, a niche board, or even a Twitter post? If it's in your browser, you can save it with one click. Universal compatibility is our jam.

Where is my data stored? Is it safe?

Your data is stored locally on your own computer. It lives in your browser's storage. We don't send your personal info, resumes, or job list to our servers. This means it's incredibly safe from breaches and totally private. The trade-off is that your dashboard is tied to that browser/device, but for privacy-conscious folks, it's a major win.
