See below for updated information.
Writing about this young startup is like writing a mystery without knowing who dunnit. Based just outside London, the company automates the task of sourcing candidate resumes (CVs in the U.K.) and posting jobs to multiple sites.
A worthy service for companies without access to an ATS, the searching supposedly uses natural language queries, as well as more technical keyword strings and variable combinations. Job posting is to contract job boards.
The mystery is whether the company is still in business. Complicating the search is that it is known by at least three names, including ARC Technologies, a name shared by any number of companies. Emails sent to the addresses on the site bounced. The "contact us" form produced no results. We managed to locate an email address for Piran Littleton, who as recently as March 2007 was listed as the general manager. Nothing
UPDATE: Months after writing the above, we received the following note:
"Hello, we're very much alive and well, please check our website (you have the correct link) or feel free to give us a bell."
