There is no difference in meaning. Itās just a difference of stress. If you say you are āhuntingā for a job rather than ālookingā for a job it implies you are looking very hard and very actively for a job. In general when you use āhunting forā rather than ālooking forā in English itās because you want to emphasise that you are spending more effort to find what you want. For example āIām hunting for a new place to liveā as opposed to āIām looking for a new place to liveā.
