About HuntingPad

You've built a career on precision and strategy. Yet, in today's job market, you find yourself drowning in tabs, lost in spreadsheets, and sending applications into a void. The hunt has become a chaotic, full-time job in itself. HuntingPad is the command center built for this exact moment. It's a Chrome extension designed for ambitious professionals who refuse to let administrative chaos undermine their search. Instead of forcing you into yet another standalone app, HuntingPad integrates seamlessly into your browser—right where you're already searching on LinkedIn, Indeed, or any job board. It transforms that overwhelming flood of opportunities into an organized, strategic campaign. With one click, you capture jobs, get AI-powered insights on your resume match, and track every application automatically. Your data stays private on your device, never on a server. HuntingPad is for the developer tracking complex tech stacks, the manager orchestrating multiple opportunities, and any accomplished professional who knows their next role is out there—they just need a smarter way to find it.

Features of HuntingPad

One-Click Job Capture from Any Site

Stop the copy-paste madness and frantic bookmarking. Wherever you find a promising role—be it LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or a niche career site—a single click on the HuntingPad icon instantly saves the job title, company, link, and all critical details. Your browser tab explosion ends here. This seamless capture happens without ever leaving the page you're on, keeping you in a state of flow and turning job discovery into a frictionless, organized process from the very first second.

AI-Powered Resume Matching & Insights

Go beyond guessing if you're a good fit. HuntingPad's AI analyzes the job description you've captured and compares it directly with your uploaded resume. You receive an instant compatibility score and, more importantly, actionable insights. It highlights missing keywords, suggests areas for customization, and helps you understand exactly how to tailor your application to stand out. This turns every application from a generic shot in the dark into a targeted, strategic move.

Automatic Application Tracking & Smart Reminders

Forget the outdated, error-prone spreadsheet. HuntingPad automatically creates a clean, centralized dashboard for every job you save. It tracks the application status, date applied, and any notes. More importantly, its smart reminder system alerts you when it's time to follow up with a recruiter or prepare for an upcoming interview. This ensures no opportunity slips through the cracks due to sheer volume, giving you the peace of mind that your search is under control.

Privacy-First, Local Data Storage

Your job search is deeply personal. HuntingPad respects that by operating on a fundamental principle of privacy. All your data—your saved jobs, your resume, your notes—is stored locally on your own computer. Nothing is ever uploaded to or stored on external servers. This means your sensitive career information remains completely in your hands, secure and private, while you benefit from powerful organizational tools.

Use Cases of HuntingPad

The Senior Professional Managing 100+ Applications

For the experienced director or VP navigating a prolonged search, volume is a necessity. HuntingPad becomes their mission control, effortlessly scaling to manage over a hundred applications without confusion. It eliminates the "which-role-did-I-apply-for" panic during unexpected recruiter calls by keeping every detail organized and instantly searchable, turning a massive campaign into a manageable strategy.

The Career Changer Tracking Different Roles

When you're exploring multiple paths or industries, organization is critical. HuntingPad allows you to categorize and tag saved jobs (e.g., "Marketing Manager," "Product Marketing"). You can compare different roles, track which resume version you used for each, and get tailored AI insights for various career paths, all in one unified dashboard instead of scattered across disjointed tools.

The Tech Developer Auditing Complex Tech Stacks

For developers, the devil is in the details—specific frameworks, languages, and tools listed in a job description. HuntingPad captures the full job spec with one click, allowing the developer to easily review and cross-reference the required tech stack against their own skills later. This ensures they can perfectly tailor their resume and prepare for technical interviews with precision.

The Networked Candidate Following Multiple Leads

Your search isn't just about applications; it's about conversations. HuntingPad helps you track not just submitted applications, but also roles where you've had a coffee chat, a referral, or a recruiter screen. Add notes and reminders for each contact, ensuring you follow up at the right time and maintain strong, organized relationships throughout your entire network-driven search.
