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, practice interviews, 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.

When Huntr is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong subscription. Here's when the other option is the better call.

  • You think best on a visual, kanban-style board and want that as the center of your pipeline.
  • Your main needs are clean application tracking plus AI resume tailoring, with one-click autofill on application forms.
  • You don’t need live voice practice, recruiter email threading, or Spotlight pages.

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.

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 tracks unlimited jobs, keeps 5 saved documents, and lets you try the AI, with no card needed to start. When your search picks up, Plus makes Apply IQ unlimited (match scores, cover-letter feedback, and résumé coaching on every job) and adds full interview prep on 10 jobs a month plus 3 practice interviews — $120 for a 6-month pass (no auto-renewal) or $24/month. For peak prep, Max ($39/month) makes interview prep unlimited (fair use), adds Deep Prep research, and gives 10 practice interviews a month. Plus and Max both include Functioning Human access.

  • How does Hey Vitae's price compare?

    Competitively. Hey Vitae is free to start (unlimited job tracking), and Plus is $24/month — or $20/month on the 6-month pass — for unlimited Apply IQ, interview prep, and follow-ups. That's at or below what most full-feature job-search tools charge (commonly around $24–40/month). For heavy interviewing, Max is $39/month with Deep Prep research and 10 practice interviews a month.

The bottom line

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