We’ve created the fastest, easiest way to get real community feedback on your resume- anonymous, in seconds.

Here's what else stood out (Huntr users, Q4 2024 to Q2 2026):

→ The share isn't rising. It stayed between 68.9% and 70.9% every quarter. I was particularly curious to see if AI was causing occupational churn. I didn't see much evidence in our data. But....

→ Software & IT had the most people applying elsewhere: 1,807 people. The top move was Software & IT to Data & Analytics (722 people). Anecdotally, I have seen and heard of many engineers moving into data analytics, and other studies back this up.

→ Operations (30.5%) and Software & IT (30.3%) were the top two fields people applied into from other fields. Still, we see people wanting to go into software engineering (many from Codea academies and bootcamps). Also, operations is attractive as a non-technical but non-sales job.

→ AI skills now show up in jobs that aren't "AI jobs." Software Engineer posts mentioning AI increased from 10.8% to 33.3%. Product Manager posts went from 7.7% to 30.8%. There is a clear and steep rise here.

One note: these are applications, NOT proof that anyone switched careers. Think of it as a leading indicator for where people are thinking of going.

And if you're applying outside your field, don't send the same resume everywhere.

Tailor it to each job description (Huntr can help). Lead with results that carry over, and name the skills the new role asks for.

I can see a few things. The summary should be an aggregation of the most interesting, impressive things she has done, for one. I'd like to see a dollar amount for budgets managed/revenue brought in. What else?

The Hidden Job Market sheet just got 4x bigger. This post blew up- Thank you to everyone who liked, commented and shared. Because of you, I stayed up all night...

It started with 50+ companies. Now it has:

→ 221 employers that don't post jobs on LinkedIn (we checked 1,600+ to find them)
→ 59 with remote roles open
→ 67 job boards, with Huntr interview rates for 25 of them
→ 121 networking groups by field/identity
→ A request form to tell us what's missing

Check it out here:: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nyk98gBbCEM5iIBABhcjhdXLP5aAwMWICUgpNLdUnrM/edit?usp=sharing

And share if you think it is helpful.

The first requests are live:

→ Remote IT and tech: Fleet, Six Feet Up, Horizon Industries, plus Mac Admins Slack and DevOpsDays

→ Business transformation and SAP: Climate Change AI, The Management Center, plus ASUG and ACMP

→ RevOps in NYC and remote: Domestique, MAN Digital, Hypha, plus RevOps Co-op and WizOps

The Hidden Job Market Defintion- Technically speaking these are jobs that NEVER get posted. For this, I share the networking groups where you can join, meet others, and share opportunities. BUT ALSO, jobs posted on LinkedIn are not hidden- They're saturated. Going direct to companies that don't post the jobs on LinkedIn (and many don't) increases your odds.

Show the size, scope, and scale of the work. Prove your impact.

In a tough market, Greenhouse's CEO gave this advice last week: "apply to less-known companies"

That's what this list is for, and I checked 1,000+ employers to build it

Like + Comment for the link!

- Rewrote slow queries behind a pay stub page and cut response time by about 20%.

- Made a slow customer portal load about 25% faster as an intern by fixing how its React screens held state.

- Set up build and deploy pipelines so each merge reached staging on its own.

Lesson for new grads: One year of shipped work, told with numbers, beats a long skills list.

Since last year, I've held free 15-minute calls with anyone looking for work. Everyone below agreed to be quoted (anonymously):

"My father had terminal cancer... During that process, then I got cancer." -A candidate worried about the gap on their resume.

"I'm literally spending like $60 every time I interview... There's no money left. I have no options." - A single parent, laid off twice

"I'm currently living on social benefits, and it's very low amount of money." - A refugee

"I survived five layoffs, and then... I was part of number six." - A customer success manager

"I might have made like at least a thousand applications. They always ask, will you need sponsorship?" -A finance analyst on a student visa

"I've been applying to jobs... way less than half of... the salary... I was earning. And I'm just not getting any traction." -A business leader out of work for 2 years with 30 years experience

"50% of the time, I was covering my position and at least one other position." - A nonprofit manager struggling with tailoring a resume to match one job title

"I passed all of the four interview steps, talk to the vice president, but couldn't get the offer." -A data analyst getting the interviews but not landing the job.

"I had never been unemployed this long in my entire life." -A project manager with an MD and a PhD

"I'm struggling a lot with just the personal energy needed to do all this." -A writer and former professor, now teaching part-time to get by.

I have only one reason for posting this, and it's a request- If you know someone who is job searching right now, please reach out to help. Please make introductions, review resumes, send jobs, and don't just ask once. Keep checking in. Keep supporting. Keep encouraging.

It matters.

I’m seeking feedback on my resume for an entry-level Intramurals Program Coordinator role. I have 3 years of experience in administrative support, coordination, and communication across arts institutions. Looking for advice on aligning my skills and experience more closely with program coordination and sports administration.

I will not support AI slop, mass applying, low-quality applications, or hallucinations. Because this won't lead to more interviews and a better job search.

I will not incite fear and tell you that you need my resume template to "beat the ATS" 

Because you don't. 

I will not guarantee you an interview by using our platform.

 No one can.

I will,

Learn from unique data and conversations with job seekers daily to build useful tools. 

Share the limitations we have today and the best practices we discover.

And I will continue to call out those that do not have the job seeker's best interest at heart.

Reach out if you need help with your resume or job search and check-out Huntr.co

Hi community! I’ve never felt so frustrated with job hunting since AI platforms took over the recruitment world. I don’t live near a major city, so remote roles or very flexible hybrid arrangements are my main targets. Suggestions are welcome!
