The biggest key to ensuring a successful launch is to use the Huntr platform not only as a tool to organize the search but also as a goal tracking tool. Most of the organizations we work with already define certain goals for their job seekers, like Apply to 5 jobs per week or Land 2 interviews per month. Huntr makes it easy to create these goals within the platform.
