They posted "just went freelance, open to React work" or "laid off, 5 years UX, looking for opportunities" — and they'll be gone in 48 hours. Redcruit finds them first.
Reddit job-seeker posts aren't like LinkedIn profiles that sit there for months. They're time-sensitive signals. The best candidates move fast — and so do the teams who find them.
Candidates on Reddit get multiple DMs within hours of posting. The team that reaches out first sets the tone. Everyone after them is playing catch-up.
You post a job listing. Hundreds apply. You spend weeks filtering. Meanwhile, the exact person you needed just announced themselves on Reddit — and a faster team already hired them.
r/forhire, r/freelance, r/cscareerquestions, r/recruitinghell, and dozens more post hundreds of times daily. Manual checking isn't a sourcing strategy. It's a time sink.
Three steps. No code. No complex setup. Just the role you're hiring for and a Telegram account.
Open the bot, send /monitor, type the role — "React developer", "UX designer", "data analyst". 30 seconds. Done.
4 Reddit sources scanned every hour — posts, subreddits, RSS, search. AI reads each post, filters job listings and spam, keeps only real candidates actively looking.
Telegram alert with the candidate's situation, their post link, and a ready-to-paste outreach message. You reach out before anyone else knows they exist.
If you can send a text message, you can use Redcruit. No dashboards to learn, no settings to configure.
Kick things off. Bot introduces itself and shows all commands. Go straight to /monitor after this.
Adds a role to watch. Bot builds smart keywords automatically — you just type the job title.

Catches people explicitly announcing availability — "open to work", "looking for clients", "just went freelance." The warmest possible signal.
Finds people in job search mode — sharing resumes, asking for referrals, posting their skills. Often before they've applied anywhere.
Surfaces independent contractors actively hunting for new projects. Perfect for teams that need skilled help without full-time overhead.
AI reads every post and discards job listings, spam, and off-topic mentions. Only real candidates looking for work get through to you.
Every alert includes a short, human-sounding message tailored to the candidate's post. Two sentences. Paste and go. No cold-outreach writer needed.
Candidates hit your Telegram within the hour of posting. You reply while the window is still open — not 3 days later when they've moved on.
Real hires. Real timelines. Real results from people who were tired of showing up late.
"Found a senior React dev on r/forhire within 6 hours of setting this up. He wasn't on LinkedIn. Wasn't on job boards. Just posted on Reddit that he was open to contract. We reached out, had a call the next day, hired him that week. Never would have found him otherwise."
"We were paying $400/month for a job board — zero applications for our data role in 6 weeks. Redcruit found 3 qualified candidates in 48 hours. The outreach message it generates sounds human. First one replied within an hour. We interviewed them all."
"As a solo founder I can't afford a recruiter. This is the closest thing. I get pinged when someone matching my role posts — I reply within the hour. 3 contractors hired this quarter, all from Reddit. None of them had applied anywhere else yet when I found them."
"The Telegram alerts are clean and fast. Intent label, 1-line summary, link to the thread. I check it like Slack. Found two copywriters and a video editor in the first two weeks. None of them had posted their CVs anywhere — just casually mentioned they were available."
"Set it up Sunday. By Tuesday I had 8 alerts for UX designers. 3 were genuinely interesting. Booked an interview Wednesday. It would have taken me a week of manual Reddit scrolling to find that — and by then someone else would have already reached out."

Redcruit scans Reddit every hour looking for people actively seeking work in roles you specify. It catches posts where people say they're "available for hire", "open to work", "looking for clients", "just got laid off", and similar. It specifically ignores job listings — you want candidates, not competition. Use /test right after setup to see real results immediately and judge the quality before subscribing.
Yes — 2 free alerts, no card needed. Open the Telegram bot (@recruitelybot), set a role with /monitor, then run /test. You'll get up to 2 real candidate alerts from a live Reddit scan in about 15 seconds. No purchase, no account, no commitment. Once you see it working, subscribe to unlock hourly automated monitoring.
Every post is read by an AI model that classifies intent: available_for_hire, seeking_work, freelancer, new_to_field, or general. Only the first four trigger alerts. This eliminates job listings, spam, vague mentions, and off-topic posts. You only see posts where someone is genuinely looking for work.
If you'll use Redcruit for more than 4 months — and most hiring teams do, since hiring is recurring — the Lifetime plan at $69 saves you money from month 5 onward. Both plans are identical in features. If you want to test first, try the free trial via /test, then subscribe monthly and upgrade to lifetime later. The math strongly favors lifetime for any serious hiring effort.
Yes. When setting up a role with /monitor, the bot asks if you want to target specific subreddits. You can specify ones like forhire, freelance, cscareerquestions or skip to search all of Reddit. Targeted subreddits often get better signal — r/forhire is extremely active for candidates, for example.
Yes — unlimited roles on both plans. Use /monitor once per role. /list shows everything active. Use /stop when a role is filled, and re-add it next time you're hiring. No limits, no extra cost.
Each alert includes an AI-generated outreach message tailored to the candidate's post. It's short (2 sentences), sounds human, and doesn't mention Redcruit. Example: "Hey, saw your post on r/forhire — we're looking for a React dev right now and your background sounds really relevant. Would love to chat if you're open to it." Use it as-is or edit it.
Yes. Log in to Gumroad → Library → Redcruit Pro → Cancel. No emails, no support tickets. Takes 10 seconds. Access continues until the end of your billing period.

A one-person project built to solve a problem that was wasting real founders real time and real money.
Hey — I'm Arush, a developer and indie hacker from India. I build tools that save founders and small teams real time on things that shouldn't require hours of manual work.
Redcruit came from a simple observation: Reddit is full of people openly saying "I'm looking for work" — yet most hiring teams had no way to catch those posts before they disappeared. I built this to close that gap. Dead-simple Telegram interface, no fluff.
I also built Compeddit (Reddit competitor intelligence), BuildForWho, and a few others. Questions? Inbox is always open.
No bots. No ticket queues. Just a founder who wants to help you make great hires.

They said they're available. They listed their skills. They asked for DMs. And they'll be gone — hired by someone else — within 48 hours. Are you in the conversation?
