The Job Card is the central hub of your Huntr Job Tracker, where all important job information is stored and managed. Each job card is a dedicated space to organize and track every detail of a job application, helping you stay organized and efficient throughout your search.
Think of the Job Card as your command center for each opportunity. The more information you add, the more Huntr can help you stay organized, meet deadlines, and create tailored application materials.
Essential Job Information
Company and Job Title
These are the foundation of your Job Card. The company name helps you keep track of where you're applying, while the job title serves double duty: it organizes your tracker and powers Huntr's AI tools when you create tailored resumes and cover letters for the role.
Post URL
Storing the job listing URL gives you quick access to reference the original posting throughout your application process. Need to review the requirements before an interview or double-check a qualification? Just click the link instead of searching for the posting again.
Location and Salary
Location helps you filter and organize opportunities, especially if you're considering remote roles, willing to relocate, or focusing on local openings. Salary information lets you track compensation details and compare offers as you progress through your search.
Organization and Tracking Features
Colour Coding Your Search
The colour option is one of the most underutilized but powerful organizational tools in Huntr. You can use colors in several ways:
Match company branding to make cards visually recognizable at a glance. See a blue card? That's the tech startup with the blue logo.
Prioritize by interest level using a system like green for high-interest roles, yellow for moderate interest, and red for backup options.
Categorize by attributes such as using one colour for all remote positions, another for roles in a specific salary band, or grouping by industry or role type.
However you choose to use colours, they transform your board from a simple list into a visual system that helps you quickly scan and prioritize your applications.
Application Deadlines
Adding a deadline does more than just remind you when to apply. Deadlines appear directly on your job tile, giving you at-a-glance visibility of upcoming due dates across your entire board. This is especially valuable for activity tracking, helping you see patterns in your application timeline and ensuring you never miss an opportunity because you lost track of the date.
Powering Huntr's AI Tools
Job Description
The job description field is critical for getting the most out of Huntr's AI features. When you paste the full job posting here, Huntr's AI can analyze the requirements, skills, and keywords to help you build tailored resumes, generate customized cover letters, and prepare for interviews. Without a complete job description, these AI tools have less context to work with and can't personalize your materials as effectively.
Think of this field as feeding information to your AI assistant. The more complete the job description, the better Huntr can help you highlight the right experience and skills for each application.
Tracking Your Progress
Logging Applications
When you click Log Application, you're creating a record of when and where you submitted your materials. You can add notes about the platform you used (LinkedIn, company website, email), any follow-up actions you need to take, or details about your submission. This keeps you from accidentally applying twice to the same role and helps you track response times from different companies.
Recording Interviews
The interview section helps you stay organized as you move through multiple rounds with different companies. Click Log Interview to track the date, time, interview format (phone screen, video call, in-person), and any notes about who you'll be speaking with or what to prepare. This becomes especially valuable when you're juggling several active opportunities and need to keep all your interview details straight.
Managing Offers
Once you receive an offer, logging it in the Job Card creates a complete record of the opportunity. You can document the offer date, full compensation package, benefits, start date, and any contingencies or conditions. This information becomes invaluable when comparing multiple offers or negotiating terms.
When you've made your final decision, use Log Offer Acceptance to document your acceptance. This completes your job search journey for that role and gives you a full record from application to acceptance.
Making the Job Card Work for You
The Job Card becomes more powerful the more you use it. Each field you fill out serves a purpose: organizing your search, powering AI tools, tracking deadlines, or documenting your progress. While not every field is required, taking a few extra seconds to add details like colours, deadlines, and complete job descriptions will save you time and stress as your job search progresses.
Your job search is complex enough without losing track of details. Let the Job Card handle the organization so you can focus on crafting great applications and preparing for interviews.
