Is CareerCRM better than Huntr?
It depends on the workflow. Huntr is broader; CareerCRM is more focused on finding roles, reaching people there, and following up.

CareerCRM vs Huntr when messaging matters
Huntr is a broad job-search organization product with resume, cover letter, tracker, contact, interview, metrics, and autofill features. CareerCRM is narrower: it finds roles, tailors your resume, finds the people to contact, and keeps the follow-up going.
