Help

A local-first job search app. It pulls listings from 130+ company career pages, normalises them, and gives you a fast filtered search. Nothing leaves your machine — no accounts, no telemetry, no cloud.

Companies don't always publish a salary. When that happens, jobhunt shows an estimate based on the level + region of similar jobs in your database. The ~ prefix tells you it's estimated rather than published.

The Local Jobs page is for zero-experience work near you. Most people who need a job nearby want non-tech roles you can start without prior experience. Toggle What kind of work → Tech / software if you want the software path instead.

Career stage is permanent-role seniority — entry, junior, mid, senior, staff, principal, lead. Job type is the contract — full-time, part-time, contract, internship. Internship lives in Job type, not Career stage.

Hides any job whose stated minimum experience is higher than your cap. Jobs without a stated minimum always pass through, so you'll still see the unlabelled ones.

Comma-separated, case-insensitive. python, typescript is two languages, not one phrase. The filter is exact-match on tags extracted from the job description.

Only available after you upload a CV. The value is a 0–1 similarity score between your CV and the job. ≥0.5 is "decent fit", ≥0.7 is "very strong". Upload at /cv.

No. jobhunt works without any keys — you'll still get 100+ job sources. Keys unlock extra coverage:

• Jooble — free, unlocks 69 countries of generalist data.
• Reed — free, unlocks UK Reed.co.uk (incl. non-tech for Local Jobs).

Both at Settings. After pasting a key click Test keys to verify it works.

The provider says the key is invalid. Either you copied the wrong thing, the key was revoked, or you're on a free-tier rate-limit cooldown. Regenerate it at the provider's developer page and paste the new key.

Open Settings, click Check for updates. If a new version exists, an Install update button appears — click it and restart jobhunt when prompted. Or re-run the install command from your terminal; it's idempotent and forces a fresh download.

Open Settings, click Uninstall jobhunt. That's it on Mac/Linux/Windows installs. Your saved data folder is left alone — delete it manually for a fully clean removal.

You probably haven't refreshed yet. Click Refresh sources in the top nav. The first refresh takes about a minute as it pulls from every configured source.

Restart jobhunt — closing and reopening the window picks up the new code. The install left files in a half-state and the running process is still using the old code.

Some company career pages have moved. jobhunt auto-skips sources that have failed three times in a row. Open Source Health to see which ones, or wait — the project's source-maintenance routine will repair them at the next release.

On your machine only. The path is shown on Settings → About. Windows: %APPDATA%\jobhunt. macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/jobhunt. Linux: ~/.local/share/jobhunt.

No. There's no telemetry, no update pings, no analytics. The only outbound traffic is to the job sites themselves when you refresh. The web UI binds to 127.0.0.1 only — your machine, not your local network.
