I fired my recruiting agency and used Arbeo to hire our Lead Dev (Saved ~$12k fees)

I run a bootstrap SaaS and usually dread hiring technical roles. I don't have an HR person, so it's usually just me shifting through 400 PDF resumes at 10 PM. I almost caved and paid a headhunter 20% of the first year's salary just to make the pain go away. 🤮

Instead, I tried this tool called Arbeo because it pitched itself as "for managers, not recruiters."

The Real Use Case: I uploaded the job description for a Senior Full Stack dev. Within 48 hours, I had 150+ applicants.

What happened next:

• No Keyword Stuffing: The AI didn't just look for "React" keywords. It scored candidates based on the context of their experience.
• The "Enrichment" Feature: This was the wild part. It automatically went out and found their GitHub and personal portfolio links and put them right on the card. I found a guy whose resume was ugly (formatted in Word 98 or something) but his GitHub was active and clean. I would have 100% skipped him manually.

Hired him 2 weeks later. Total cost was $39 vs the $12k placement fee. If you are hiring but hate "recruiting," give it a look.
