1. job hunt(ing)
2. head hunt(ing)
Are the above good English?
How about:
3. boy hunt(ing) - cruising
4. girl hunt(ing) - cruising
Thank you.

Job and headhunting are acceptable terms, I wouldn't exactly call them perfect formal English, but acceptable certainly.

Er, no boy or girl hunting where I'm from. You might say that someone is "out on the prowl" though if they are "cruising", as you put it.
