Your job search probably looks like this: browser tabs everywhere, sticky notes with deadlines, screenshots of job posts you meant to apply to, and that nagging feeling you're forgetting something important.
The Job Board fixes this. It's your single source of truth for every job you're tracking from that interesting posting you just found to the offer you're negotiating. Everything lives here, moves through your actual process, and stays organized without you having to think about it.
Getting Jobs Onto Your Board
The Fastest Way: Chrome Extension
The Chrome Extension is your shortcut. When you find a job posting on LinkedIn, Indeed, or any job site, one click saves everything; title, company, description, salary info straight to your board. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs.

The Manual Option: Adding Jobs Directly
Sometimes you need to add a job manually, maybe someone emailed you a posting, or you heard about an opening through your network, or the site does not support our extension.
Click Create > Job on the right side of your Job Board
Fill in the details. Add the company name, job title, and any other information you have. Choose which Board and List (stage) this job should start in, then click Save Job.
Add more details in the Job Card. Once saved, you'll see the full Job Card editor where you can add salary expectations, application deadlines, and the link to the original posting.
Moving Jobs Through Your Process
Once jobs are on your board, they need to move as your applications progress. That's what the Lists (stages) are for.
Huntr gives you standard stages; Wishlist, Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected, but these are just starting points. Your interview process might look completely different, and that's fine. Rename them, add new ones, reorganize the order. Make them match reality.
Moving Jobs Between Stages
Drag and drop is the quickest way; just grab a job card and pull it to the new stage.
Or use the Move button inside the Job Card if you prefer clicking through options.
Customizing Your Stages
Renaming Stages
Your "Interview" stage might actually be three different rounds. Rename stages to reflect what's actually happening in your process.
Click the three dots in the column header, then select Rename List
Or click directly on the column title to edit it inline
Type your new name, press Enter, and it's saved.
Adding New Stages
Need a "Technical Interview" stage? A "Waiting to Hear Back" column? Add whatever matches your reality.
Scroll to the right past your existing columns and click Add List
Type the stage name and press Enter to save
Reordering Stages
New stages appear at the end of your board by default. You'll probably want to move them into the right spot in your workflow.
Click the three dots in the column header, then Move List
Choose where this stage should go in relation to your other stages, then click Move
💡 Tip: Select the stage that comes right before or after where you want your new stage. For example, if you want "Second Interview" to appear after "First Interview," select the position that places it before "Offer."
Managing Multiple Job Boards
Should You Use Multiple Boards?
Our recommendation: Start with one board. Most people find it easier to see their entire job search in one place rather than switching between boards.
That said, multiple boards make sense if you're:
Applying to completely different types of roles (like "Software Engineering" and "Product Management")
Starting a fresh search but want to keep your previous search history separate
📣 Important: You can't move jobs between boards. If you save a job to the wrong board, you'll need to add it again to the correct board. This is why we suggest thinking through your board structure before you start saving jobs.
Creating a New Board
Click the + icon next to My Job Trackers in the left sidebar (My Job Trackers is located above your job board title in the left hand menu)
Enter your board name and click Create Board
Renaming a Board
Click on My Job Trackers on the left sidebar (My Job Trackers is located above your job board title in the left hand menu)
Click the pencil icon next to the board name
Type the new name and press Enter to save
Archiving a Board
When a job search wraps up, you can archive the board to get it out of your main view without deleting your history.
Click the trash can icon next to the board name to archive
To bring it back: Go to My Job Trackers > View Archive > Unarchive
The Job Board is where your job search actually happens. Set it up in a way that makes sense for how you work, and it'll keep everything organized without you having to think about it.
