Team Guide

Hunting for a job is easier when you do it with other people. Adding a teammate to your hunt can help you find more job listings, find out about unlisted jobs, and keep you accountable on your hunt.

For Hunters

Adding a teammate is easy - there are two ways to do it.

From your HuntHelper dashboard

To add a teammate to a job hunt, go to your Dashboard page and click on Invite Teammate. Enter the name, email address, and a message to the person you want to invite. If you have multiple active hunts, you will also need to select which hunt you want to invite them to from the dropdown menu. Click Invite by email to send the invitation.

Adding teammates by email

Adding a teammate by email requires you to send an email with the correct recipients. Create a new email in your email client and enter the email address of the person (or people) you would like to help with in the To: field. In either the Cc: or Bcc: field, enter team@hunthelper.com and job@hunthelper.com. The subject and body of the email is up to you, but it's a good idea to make sure you're clear what you're asking for help on. HuntHelper will send a reply to all of the people you invited with instructions on how to help.

If you want to invite someone who has already invited you to their team, things can get tricky. The email addresses you use to invite a teammate are the same as to add a job to your friend's hunt. If someone has already invited you to help them on their hunt, you'll have to use the directions above and invite teammates on the website.

For teammates

So, you've been invited to help someone on their job hunt - what an honor! HuntHelper makes it easy to share job listings with your friends and family who are looking for them. Once someone has invited you to help them on their hunt, you can send them jobs that you find simply by sending an email. For example, let's say your friend is searching for a job has invited you to their job hunt team, and you've just found a web site with the perfect job for them! You can copy the web address and paste it into an email. Send the email to your friend, and Cc: job@hunthelper.com and team@hunthelper.com. Your friend will get an email with the job listing web address, and HuntHelper will add that job to their list.

You can be on multiple teams at the same time if more than one person invites you to their team.

Team hunts

If you were invited to be on a HuntHelper team but did not have a HuntHelper account previously, you can use the email instructions above to add jobs to your teammates's hunt, or you can log in to hunthelper.com and access your teammate's hunt from the web page. When you log in, you'll see a list of hunts that you have access to. Click on the hunt you want to add a job to, and then click the Add job listing button. Enter the job listing URL (you can leave the rest of the fields blank), and then click Save. HuntHelper will add the job to your teammate's job hunt and send them an email. If the job is listed on a supported site, the job details will be filled in automatically.

Your own hunts

If you already had a HuntHelper account before someone invited you to their team, you can continue to add to your own hunts while helping others on their hunts.

If you want to add a job to your own job hunt, use only the job@hunthelper.com email. If you want to add a job to your friend's job hunt, you'll need to have 3 email recipients on the email: your friend's email address, job@hunthelper.com, and team@hunthelper.com.

Examples

Let's say you are on a job hunt, and you also have two friends, Alice and Jorge, who are searching for a job and an apartment, respectively. Alice and Jorge have both invited you to be on their teams. The table below shows the email addresses to use to add a new item to each person's hunt.
