Free to join · pay only when a company wants you

You don’t apply.
They ask.

Upload your CV once. Companies search an anonymised pool, and when one wants you they send a real job description with their name on it. You decide whether to reply — and nothing about you is released until you do.

The gapWhy applying can’t win

A different model

Applying is a numbers game you lose by design.

Job boards were built for volume, and volume is the problem. One posting pulls four hundred applications, a keyword filter reads them before any person does, and the reply you were promised never comes. Sending more applications into that is not a strategy — it is the same bet, repeated.

The AI CV review

Find out how good your CV really is. Free, before you pay anything.

The moment your CV is processed we score it out of 100 and rank what to fix. Every suggestion quotes your own CV — not generic advice. Change it, run it again, as often as you like.

Scored on five dimensions

Impact, clarity, keyword fit, consistency, seniority signal — so you know where you’re losing recruiters.

Fixes with real rewrites

Your weakest bullet, rewritten. Highest-priority issues first, not a checklist.

ATS warnings first

The formatting and keyword problems that make tracking systems misread you — flagged before a bot rejects you.

Re-run it forever

Every edit, re-scored. The review never sits behind the paywall.

249/year excl. GST

₹293.82 a year all-in with GST. Same membership, same year, same unlimited replies — the only difference is that you waited until the value was proven, and paid ₹150 more for the certainty.

You’re paying to be reachable by the companies that already want you — not for the privilege of applying. If you want to know exactly where the money goes, we’ve listed every rupee below.

Both sides of the deal

Every rupee that moves, and who it comes from.

Most job platforms won’t show you this, because the answer is that you were sold. Here’s ours in full — there are exactly two payments and no third party.

You pay
99/year excl. GST

To reply — and nothing else. Joining, your profile, the CV review and being discovered are all free, forever.

Only when you choose to answer
Your yes
A company pays
500per contact, excl. GST

To reach you — and only after you’ve read their job description and said yes. Before that, they cannot buy your details at any price.

Only after you’ve agreed

We never sell your data

Not to advertisers, not to aggregators, not in bulk. The ₹500 buys an introduction you approved — not a copy of you.

We don’t run ads

Nobody is bidding for your attention here. Your inbox stays yours, and there’s no incentive for us to waste your time.

There is no third party

Two payments, both listed above. That’s the whole business — no advertisers, no data brokers, nobody else with a stake in your inbox.

You’re our customer, not our inventory — and this is the arithmetic that makes that true rather than a slogan. Read the full breakdown →


QuestionsThe honest answers

FAQ

The things you’re actually wondering.

Why should I pay? I’m the one looking for a job.

You don’t pay to join. Your profile, the AI CV review, and being discovered by companies are all free. Membership is only asked of you when you want to reply to a company — so the model has already worked for you before you spend anything.

But here’s the part most platforms won’t tell you: you are not the only one paying. A company pays us ₹500 to unlock your contact details — and only after you’ve read their job description and said yes. Before that moment they cannot buy your details at any price. That’s the difference between an introduction you approved and your data being sold, and it’s why we don’t need ads or data sales to run this.

Your ₹99 does two things: it tells companies that everyone who replies is a serious, active candidate rather than a dormant CV, and it funds the platform — the matching, the free CV review, and the engineering behind both. You’re our customer, not our inventory.

See both sides of the deal →

Why is it ₹99 for some people and ₹249 for others?

It’s the same membership — the price depends on when you subscribe. Subscribe before any company has shown interest and you lock ₹99/year. Wait until someone is already interested and it’s ₹249/year. Early members take a small leap of faith, so they get the better rate. Either way it covers unlimited replies for a full year. Both prices exclude 18% GST.

What if no company ever matches me?

If you haven’t subscribed, you’ve paid nothing — joining is free and membership only comes into play when a company shows interest. Matches depend on your profile completeness and fit with our current network, which we’re actively expanding. If you don’t get a match within 90 days of activating your profile, contact us and we’ll work with you on your visibility.

How is this different from applying on job portals?

On a job board you apply after a role is posted, alongside a few hundred other people, and a keyword filter reads you before any human does. Here you don’t apply at all. Companies and agencies search an anonymised pool and ask for the specific people they want — often for roles they haven’t posted anywhere, because searching a pool is faster than sifting 400 applications. You get picked, not filtered.

The other difference is control. They see your skills and experience but not your name, your contact details or your current employer. Nothing is released until you read their job description and say yes.

Do I get any feedback on my CV?

Yes, and it’s free. Your CV is scored out of 100 across impact, clarity, keyword fit, consistency and seniority signal. You get a ranked list of the highest-priority fixes — each quoting your own CV, not generic advice — example rewrites for your weakest bullets, your genuine strengths, and any ATS parsing warnings. Re-run it as often as you like. This is guidance to help you stand out to recruiters, not a guarantee of hiring.

Can I pause or delete my profile?

Any time. Pause matching so companies stop seeing you, without losing your data. Or delete your account and everything with it — we purge it within 30 days, as required under DPDPA 2023.

How do companies see my profile?

Companies in our network browse an anonymised talent pool — role, experience, skills, location and fit score, but no name and no contact details. When they want to talk, they express interest through Arborhire with a job description attached. You get notified and you decide whether to reply. Your personal contact details are never shared without your consent.
