What None of These Alternatives Have: An AI Career Coach
Every tool on this list tracks jobs. ApplyArc also tells you what to do next. The AI Coach sees your full pipeline and acts on it.
What Huntr gives you
- Kanban board to organise applications
- Basic job notes and status tracking
- Contact management for networking
- Activity log of what you did
What ApplyArc's Coach adds
- Daily briefings: 'Follow up with Deloitte. You applied 5 days ago.'
- CV tailoring that pulls keywords from the actual job description
- Cover letters matched to each role in your pipeline
- Interview prep based on the specific company and position
- Salary negotiation scripts using UK market data
- Rejection analysis: what to change for similar roles
Huntr tracks where you applied. The Coach tells you what to do about it. That's the difference between a spreadsheet with a nice UI and an actual job search assistant.
Switching from Huntr: Your First 2 Weeks
Export and import
Export your Huntr data as CSV so you keep your history. Sign up for ApplyArc (free) and import the file from the Add job dialog, ticking only the live roles you still need.
Add new jobs as you go
Add any job from Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, Indeed UK, or LinkedIn to your board manually. The Chrome extension waitlist is open for quick dashboard access.
AI tools kick in
Generate your first cover letter. Run the CV optimiser against a job description. The Coach starts learning your pipeline and suggests next steps.
Full pipeline visibility
By now the Coach knows your active applications. You'll get daily briefings: who to follow up with, which interviews to prep for, and which roles need attention.
When Huntr Is Still the Right Choice
We're biased. Obviously. But here's when sticking with Huntr makes sense:
You're mid-commitment
If you prepaid Huntr's quarterly ($90) or six-month ($160) plan, the maths might not work out until it lapses. Check your billing date and compare then.
You only need basic tracking
If you don't use AI tools and just want a simple board to log applications, Huntr's free tier (100 jobs) does the job. No need to switch for tracking alone.
Your team uses Huntr
If your recruitment agency or career coach shares a Huntr workspace with you, switching adds friction. Stick with whatever your team uses.
