How Huntly works, written plainly.

Short, practical documentation for setting up your search and understanding what Huntly gives back. No jargon, no configuration.

Getting started

Create an account, import your CV, and confirm what Huntly reads from it. Your first matches appear once your preferences are set.

  • Sign in and upload your CV or paste your experience.
  • Check the roles and skills Huntly picked up, and correct anything off.
  • Set the job titles, locations and working style you want.
  • Open your matches and read the fit reasoning on the first few roles.

How Huntly works

Huntly runs your search continuously, compares each role against your profile and prepares application drafts you review before anything is sent.

  • Searching: roles are gathered against your saved preferences.
  • Scoring: each role is compared to your experience and given a fit score.
  • Preparing: for roles you choose, a tailored CV and cover letter are drafted.
  • Approving: nothing goes to an employer until you have read it and approved it.

Understanding matches and results

A fit score is a summary, not a verdict. The reasoning underneath it is the part worth reading.

  • High fit: your experience covers most of what the role asks for.
  • Medium fit: a real possibility with gaps worth addressing in your letter.
  • Low fit: usually a stretch, kept visible so you can judge for yourself.
  • Save anything promising to your shortlist so it stays in your pipeline.

Account and plan information

Your plan controls how much searching and preparation Huntly runs each month. Everything else works the same on every tier.

  • The free plan includes matching, fit scores, shortlists and tracking.
  • Paid plans add tailored document preparation and more search volume.
  • You can change or cancel a paid plan yourself, without contacting support.
  • You can export or delete your data from your account at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any technical knowledge to use Huntly?
No. Huntly is built for job seekers, not developers. These docs exist to remove uncertainty, not to configure anything.
How is this different from the Help Center?
The Help Center answers specific questions when something is unclear. Docs explain how the product works from start to finish.
Why don't I see many matches yet?
Usually the preferences are too narrow or the titles are unusual. Widen the titles slightly or add a nearby location and check again.
Can I edit what Huntly prepares?
Yes. Every draft is editable, and you are the one who decides whether it gets sent.

Still stuck? The Help Center covers specific situations, the FAQ answers the common ones, and you can always contact us.
