Huntr: Job Search Tracker

Huntr: Job Search Tracker comes in handy for those who are active in the job market and have extremely organized and well-documented reports about it. Not only is this tool precise and useful for job seekers, but people working in human resources or any other individual who is studying the job sectors could also use Huntr to organize their findings in order to get an accurate overview of the market.

In order to have access to this tool, all you must do is install the Chrome extension and start searching. The small added icon from your taskbar will expand each time you click it — a dropdown with the necessary fields to add the entry will appear onto your screen.

Add the details of the job you found: the company (the tool comes packed with a database that allows identifying certain companies a lot easier: they are displayed as suggestions), the physical location, the position, the job description, and the URL where you found the posting. Keep repeating the process until you have exhausted all your sources.

We all know it is a lot easier to look at data and find patterns; this type of approach will sort things in your mind and will allow for accurate predictions in terms of having realistic expectations. You can create your own Kanban board with the desired column, colors, identification symbols, etc. With drag and drop, you can move a job from a section to another (e.g. from ‘Interview’ to ‘Offer’).

The tool allows for selective fields, targeted locations and cities, adding to-do lists to your job entries (e.g. what you must do in order to apply for a job, how you should prepare for an interview, etc.), creating contact lists, map search for regional targeting and overview of the job and their correspondent locations, plus metrics for data analysis (available in the paid versions).

Huntr is an amazing program that offers things beyond the ones you could imagine. Creativity and organizational skills are all you need to start using the tool to its full capacity. Besides an excellently-looking GUI and a coherent structure, the way the tool was built will help organize your thoughts and search flow so you never lose track of anything else again.
