Hiring is decided
before the job post.

One introduction puts both sides in the room first — the startup about to hire, and the recruiter who places exactly that role.

THE ROUTE
AFTER THE POST GOES LIVE — TWENTY AGENCIES, SAME FOUNDER FOUNDER (stops reading) WEEKS EARLIER — IN THE PAPERWORK THE FILING ARUNROUTES reads, then asks ✓ YES ONE COMPANY ✓ YES ONE RECRUITER ONE INTRODUCTION BOTH SIDES OPT IN — ALWAYS AFTER THE POST — TWENTY AGENCIES, ONE FOUNDER FOUNDER (stops reading) WEEKS EARLIER — IN THE PAPERWORK THE FILING ARUNROUTES reads, then asks ✓ YES ONE COMPANY ✓ YES ONE RECRUITER ONE INTRODUCTION BOTH SIDES OPT IN — ALWAYS

The noise

The day a job goes live, twenty agencies message the same founder. The founder stops reading.

The one recruiter who could actually fill the role is buried in the pile.

And the role stays open.

How it works

Hiring shows up in a company’s paperwork weeks before it shows up on a job board. ArunRoutes reads that paperwork. When the pattern says a startup is about to hire, the startup gets asked — directly. Then one introduction: that company, and the one recruiter who places exactly that role at exactly that stage.

Both sides say yes before anyone gets connected. That’s the whole product.

If you’re hiring

One introduction, when the fit is exact: the specialist who places your role, at your stage. Otherwise, silence.

It costs you nothing, ever. And your search stays private.

If you place

You meet companies before anyone else does — startups that have confirmed what they’re hiring, routed to your exact desk. One company, one recruiter. Yours alone.

The rules

  1. Companies never pay, and there’s no cut of any placement. The only thing ever paid for is the introduction.

  2. Both sides opt in before any introduction. Always.

  3. No candidates, ever. Recruiters place people; ArunRoutes connects the two. Different jobs.

  4. No fit means no email. Silence is part of the service.

Questions

How does it spot hiring before it’s public?

Companies leave a paper trail before they hire. ArunRoutes reads it, then confirms the old-fashioned way: by asking.

What does this cost a company?

Nothing, ever. Recruiters pay for the seat; companies pay their recruiter as they always have.

Why one recruiter per company?

Shared with fifty, an introduction is worth nothing. Held by one, it’s worth everything.

Is this a recruiting agency?

No. ArunRoutes makes introductions; recruiters make placements.

What if the fit isn’t there?

A no — then silence, until there’s an introduction worth making.
