Features of HuntingPad
One-Click Job Capture
Effortlessly save any job posting you find across the web directly into your organized HuntingPad dashboard. Whether you're browsing LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or a niche career site, a single click captures all the key details—job title, company, description, and link—eliminating the need for manual copying, pasting, or chaotic bookmark folders. This feature ensures you never lose track of a promising opportunity and can collect roles as you naturally discover them.
AI-Powered Resume Matching & Insights
Go beyond simple tracking with intelligent analysis. HuntingPad's AI evaluates your resume against captured job descriptions to provide an instant compatibility score. It then offers actionable insights, suggesting specific tweaks and keywords to better tailor your resume for each application. This empowers you to submit stronger, more targeted applications that stand out in a crowded applicant pool.
Automatic Application Tracking & Smart Reminders
Replace your cumbersome spreadsheet with automatic, real-time tracking. HuntingPad logs every application's status, company, and date with zero manual entry. It proactively supports your follow-up strategy with smart, AI-driven reminders that suggest optimal times to reach out to recruiters or hiring managers, ensuring you stay top-of-mind throughout the hiring process.
Privacy-First Local Data Storage
Your job search data is intensely personal. HuntingPad respects your privacy by storing all your information—resumes, job details, application history—locally on your own computer. Nothing is ever sent to or stored on external servers. This gives you complete control and peace of mind, knowing your confidential career information remains secure and private.
