Huntr is strong for organizing applications, saving jobs, tailoring resumes, generating cover letters, and managing job-search activities. If your main need is a clean tracker with AI document support, it may be enough.

Hey Vitae is positioned as tracking plus the rest of the search: stage-aware prep, mock practice, threaded recruiter email, follow-up reminders, networking and referrals in the same pipeline, and Spotlight pages for sharing a stronger candidate presence than a PDF resume.

If you mostly need a tracker and document tailoring hub, Huntr is a credible choice. If you want tracking, prep, follow-through, recruiter email, and visibility into what’s actually working in one workspace, Hey Vitae is built for that.

Built for candidate momentum

Less setup, clearer next steps.

Hey Vitae is intentionally organized around the parts of the search candidates actually have to manage: roles, stages, prep, documents, follow-ups, and outcomes. Instead of asking you to build your own system or endlessly rewrite materials, it gives each job a clearer next step.

  • See which jobs need attention
  • Prep from the role you’re actually interviewing for
  • Keep notes, docs, reminders, and outcomes connected

See it for yourself.

Free to start. Add your active roles in a few minutes and see how it feels with the whole search in one place.

Common questions

  • What is Hey Vitae?

    Hey Vitae is a job-search workspace for candidates. It helps you track every role you're interested in, prep for interviews around the actual job, manage follow-ups, organize resumes and notes, and see what's actually moving — without turning your search into spreadsheet chaos.

  • Can I move my Huntr pipeline into Hey Vitae?

    Yes — re-save the same jobs via the extension, paste job URLs or descriptions, or forward recruiter emails to your @heyvitae.co alias to rebuild the pipeline. Your resumes and cover letters travel as PDF or pasted text and get versioned per role from there.

  • Can I track interviews and follow-ups?

    Yes. Interviews are first-class — you can prep with role-specific kits, log notes during and after, and schedule follow-up reminders. Threads from forwarded recruiter emails link to the right job automatically.

  • Is Hey Vitae just a resume tool?

    No. Resume and cover letter versioning is part of the workspace, but the main product is the full job-search system: tracking, interview prep, follow-ups, documents, email, Spotlight pages, and insights. Companies have ATS. Recruiters have CRM. Hey Vitae is the candidate-side system.

  • Is Hey Vitae free?

    Yes — Free covers up to 20 tracked jobs, 3 saved documents, and limited AI boosts. No card needed to start. Pro is $19/month (or $54 for a 3-month pass) when your search picks up.

The bottom line

It's not just a tracker.
It's a system for running your job search.
