Today marks an incredible milestone in the histories of both Huntr and my personal career. 10 years ago I decided to change paths from Marketing to Tech. I was a self taught designer with an obsession for beautiful software and very basic html skills. My day job was as a marketer, but all I wanted to do was design and build tech products. I ended up going back to school to get my computer science degree and eventually starting Huntr, that was over 6 years ago 🤯. My journey with Huntr started on April 15th, 2017 with the original launch, here on Product Hunt 🙌. Since then, over 300k job seekers have used Huntr and our Chrome Extension to keep their job search organized, tracking over 9 million jobs in aggregate. We’re still bootstrapped, and now a team of 4. So, first of all, thank you all who’ve supported Huntr for the past 7 years; my life would be very different without the support of this community, which kickstarted this incredible journey for me. Today, I'm thrilled to announce the biggest launch in our 6 year history. Since day one, Huntr’s goal has been to help job seekers navigate and manage the tough “project” that is a job search. The features we are launching today aim to reduce a significant amount of the wasteful, mindless tasks that are part of every search: customizing resumes, writing dozens of cover letters, filling application forms with the same info over and over again, tracking applications and the list goes on. Our goal is take all of the tedious little tasks of the job search off your plate, so you can focus on the truly important parts like defining your career values/goals, networking, skill development and interview prep. We’re launching several new features: - AI Powered Resume Builder: A resume builder that not only helps you find the right words to say, but gives you suggestions on how to better optimize your resume for success. Users will be able to generate AI copy for their summary, achievements, and skills to help them pass ATS filters and help give their resume more visibility when being screened by technology. - Job Tailored Resumes: Our tool looks not only at keyword coverage, but also at how well the content of your resume matches the responsibilities and qualifications in the job description; meaning our builder goes beyond word matching and considers meaning! We take it a step further, by providing an inline editor that makes it easy and quick to integrate keywords and important responsibilities/qualifications into your resume, all powered by AI. This allows job seekers to create perfectly tailored resumes in a fraction of the time. - AI Tools: We’ve built 12 new AI tools, such as a cover letter generator, interview prep questions, email communication generators (follow up, thank you, offer negotiation), and more. Some of these tools will instantly generate personalized content based on your resume or job you’re applying to. For example, you can generate personalized interview questions based on your resume and the job you’re applying to so you can really dig into your experience and qualifications. - Job Match Score: A built in grader to help you easily assess how qualified you are for a job based on the experience listed on your resume. You might think you’re the perfect candidate for a role, but does your resume show that? With Huntr, you’ll get instant feedback and suggestions on how to better optimize your resume for a specific job. As suggestions are implemented, you’ll see your score increase bringing you closer to a more aligned resume for hiring managers. - Resume Checker: Huntr’s built in checker provides a grade that helps you craft a high-quality resume. Not only will you be able to ensure your resume has all the right sections, and the right length, but you’ll also gain suggestions on how to improve your resume content. With this kind of feedback, you’ll be able to make your resume more recruiter-friendly to help you land more interviews. - Application Autofill: Application autofill helps automate the process of typing out the same repetitive answers on application forms, such as contact details. With this automation in place, you’ll be able to apply to more jobs faster, so you can land your next role with ease. - Beautiful Templates: We were disappointed with the typical templates most resume builders have. We knew we could build templates that are not only beautiful but also ATS friendly to help people land more interviews with a professionally-designed resume template. We’ve created six stunning designs to choose from that are color-customizable to give people more freedom to design their resume in a way that best showcases their personal flair.

@rennie_haylock I’m almost sad I like my job - would love to use these new features. I’ve used Huntr to help me get my last 3 jobs. Even before the improvements it was a great tool and I recommended it to everyone I knew looking for a job.
