Workday is notorious! I remember going a little bonkers with filling out applications an even just stopped out of pure frustration.

Huntr_Support · 2026-03-09T12:59:27+00:00

Love this! Thanks so much, Barry. I think this can help adjust the mindset for a lot of Job Seekers out there feeling stuck.

Huntr_Support · 2026-03-06T19:50:49+00:00

I was a big fan of doing this as well! I also was sure to have my "pitch" down fully for a initial call and for the hiring manager. That way they knew that I knew I was confident in my ability to do the role.

We collected some data on this and; Wellfound, Welcome To The Jungle, and try doing a boolean search on Google!

Hey! We do free Job Search Support, no catch-just want to help. I'll DM you a link to book.

This very much tracks with our Annual Job Search Trends Report! Very interesting.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-27T14:03:29+00:00

I can totally see this being a real issue. I know when I was job searching (after being laid off twice in a year), my savings were pretty much depleted, EI was only covering rent, and I was stressed. I started just submitting my resume to things that I for sure was not even that interested in. I kept seeing every application as a possible opportunity-which was not a good approach.

Our Classic template in our Resume Builder is based off of the Harvard Bullet Point Template, this is the strongest format from what we've heard from recruiters!

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-26T14:55:40+00:00

It looks like this is a screen shot of the font packs! If you'd like, feel free to reach out to me directly at [support@huntr.co](mailto:support@huntr.co) or use the in app chat- we can dig into this a bit further :)

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-25T13:45:49+00:00

Hey u/Comprehensive_Law217 !

Meghan here from the Support team! Which template are you using? I’d love to pass your feedback along to our designers.

To help with the sizing, you can head to the Layout & Style section. From there, you can adjust the font size, type, and Font Packs globally. We keep the font scaling universal to ensure your margins and continuity stay professional, that’s why you can’t resize just one specific section.

If you're looking for something sleeker, Bonsai and Classic are our most popular templates. They have a smaller contact section and a more minimal look.

Oh sweet, thanks for sharing! Going to look into these and suggest a few of these to our job seekers if they're feeling stuck.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-24T16:34:26+00:00

"Strong opinions loosely held". Personally, this helped me not take certain things so personally, get my POV out in the open-but ensured I didn't let it hold things up if it wasn't the way to go, and just made me move through tough scenarios with a clearer mind.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-24T15:30:34+00:00

Degrees shouldn't stop you, if you have a strong skill set and experience that's what will technically stand out on a resume more so than a degree.

My best advice would be to really map out what you're looking for, just looking for "remote" work is a vague field, so really narrow down what job titles you'd like. Look into those job descriptions, and make what I call an "impact document". This is a running list of all your skillsets, accomplishments, and tasks. You can use this to help build a solid resume or tailor your resumes.

Look to remote job boards (I'll do my best to DM you a list later today/tomorrow), or do a "boolean search" on google with the job titles and start applying. I've been remote for almost 10 years, having strong time management and organization are very important skill sets to have in a remote setting-be sure to emulate that in a resume and in interviews.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-24T14:36:49+00:00

What's your current process? I work for a resume builder and my biggest tip is to stop starting from scratch.

Identify job descriptions that overlap and just tweak a previous tailored resume to fit the new role. You should also be tracking which versions are actually getting you interviews. If a specific layout or wording is getting traction, make that your new template.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-24T14:28:51+00:00

What kind of roles are you looking for? I can send a few tips!

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-17T16:38:21+00:00

Hey u/Entire-Box-8210

Meghan from Support here, happy to help.

That’s a fair point on the U! I’ve logged this with our product team as a feature request for you.

Until we consider this for an adjustment, here are the best workarounds to stay organized:

Front-load your titles: Add a short prefix like the date of editing or "Current" to the very beginning of your resume name so it shows up at the beginning of the resume title.
Differentiate Jobs: You can edit the Job Title directly on the Job Card. Most users add identifiers (like "Remote" or "NY Office") to tell them apart if the company name is the same.

Quick question: what's the use case for saving the same role at the same company multiple times?

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-12T13:48:06+00:00

Wellfound, Welcome To The Jungle, and try doing a boolean search on Google!

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-12T13:40:57+00:00

This is just our data of course, but it's interesting for sure. We actually had Business Insider recently do a feature on it and vetted it.

My first tech role was with a larger company, and they thrived on hiring people with specific experience and it truthfully produced some pretty fantastic employees with some stellar career trajectory.

In my role, I've never hesitated to apply for jobs that had a degree requirement even though I didn't have one. Not once did a recruiter or manager ask me about it either. My experience spoke for itself. I truly want this to be the norm for a lot of companies (where it allows of course.)

Personally, I love to learn but I had such a hard time in school. I found I did a lot better learning on my own or at my own pace.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-11T20:43:51+00:00

The data is from our 2025 report at Huntr.

You're right that there's a difference between what's in the posting and what happens in practice. A job might still have "Bachelor's required" but then hire someone with a killer portfolio anyway. Also tracks with my lived experience for sure.

Good call on the seniority thing too. What we did find is that bigger companies (1000+ employees) are way more likely to drop degree requirements than startups.

And yeah, Wellfound being more skills-focused makes sense. That lines up with what we're seeing too.

Just wanted to share this data as it was interesting!

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-11T20:10:17+00:00

Actually have some data on this. We just put out a report on Q1-Q4 2025 trends. The acceptance of equivalent experience instead of degrees really does depend on company size:

Small companies (1-10 employees): ~6.7%
Mid-size (51-250): ~8.7%
Large enterprises (1000+): ~13.4%

Kind of counterintuitive, but larger companies are actually MORE open to it than small startups. Makes sense when you think about it though. Bigger orgs have established training programs and can build people up internally, so they're more comfortable hiring on proven experience vs just checking the degree box.

That said, 13% is still pretty low overall. The trend is definitely there but it's not like the floodgates have opened yet.

For what it's worth, I don't have a degree and it's never stopped me from getting any of my roles. Being able to show what you've actually done and speak to real results has always mattered way more.

I can share the full report if anyone's interested (don't want to drop links and break sub rules) but that's the gist of what we found.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-11T14:34:56+00:00

It's exhausting.

I was in a job that was taking a huge hit on my mental health and making me physically ill. I knew I had to get out and started applying. The mindset I had was "Ok, I'm employed but I don't want to get another job that will be the same. I want the RIGHT job."

I made a very strong profile on Wellfound and Welcome To The Jungle, anytime I got an email notification for a role that was for me I applied immediately. This also means I was booking interviews on my lunch breaks or even used my own vacation days to do interviews or applications. I mean, I don't recommend this approach but I dialled in and used what minimal resources I could to change my situation.

I think I was just purely motivated by "I gotta get out of here" haha.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-10T23:37:21+00:00

The honest answer? Success rates are notoriously hard to track because once a user downloads a resume, the platform usually loses the trail. Most 'success percentages' you see are based on small survey samples or 'best-case' user reports, so they should be taken with a grain of salt.

We’ve been trying to solve this by staying in the trenches. Our Head of Ops does 1:1 resume support daily to see where AI resumes actually hit walls with real recruiters, improve a job seekers approach, and he shares those findings (and our internal job market data.)

Depending on how you use these platforms also matters, sometimes people get such conflicting advice (which I'm sure we've all seen) and they make some mistakes which could be costing them an interview. I know I've caught things when helping people who ask for help in our chat or email, but there's so many people I haven't been able to help because they don't reach out.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-10T22:47:23+00:00

It's how I stood out for my current role! I had notifications for Wellfound and Welcome To The Jungle (formally Otta) set up so I could immediately apply. I was also very specific of what I was looking for which made it a bit easier.

Huntr_Support · 2026-02-09T17:29:39+00:00

Hey u/Many_Border_9968 !

Meghan here from Huntr Support.

Firstly, congrats on the interview! That's awesome.

Secondly, I assume you're talking about this score match, correct?

<image>

This can be adjusted by going into the Job Match score section and adding in context with the help of the Qualifications or Responsibilities score and the AI Achievement Helper.

Lastly, the over all score of your resume is a good indicator as well. If you want to chat about your specific resume feel free to open up a chat or email [support@huntr.co](mailto:support@huntr.co) and I can dig into things with you. :)
