Huntsmen and Huntresses may have existed before the Great War, but they weren't an officially recognised job title as the Academies who trained Huntsmen and Huntresses officially only started up in the aftermath fo the Great War.

So while there may have been mercenaries and freelance Grimm-killers as you headcanon, they weren't officially Huntresses and Huntsmen until after the Great War.
