Baxus and Arc hiring remote developers
Summary:

Learn how blockchain startup BAXUS saved $50K on annual hiring cost by only interviewing Arc’s qualified, affordable, and diverse remote developer candidates.

Summary

BAXUS is a blockchain startup that provides a secure marketplace for authenticating, storing, buying, and selling wine and spirits. As the brainchild of a whiskey trader and a software engineer, BAXUS was in need of a Senior Front-End Designer to guide their build early on in order to avoid unnecessary tech debt. Through previous positive experiences with Codementor, Arc’s sister company, BAXUS was connected with Arc, who helped match them with pre-vetted remote developers outside of the U.S. Not only did Arc help BAXUS find the tech talent they’re looking for, Arc actually found them their first Founding Full Stack developer from Columbia.

The Challenge: Finding qualified and affordable developer, fast

BAXUS is a fast-growing blockchain startup. Still in its early stages, BAXUS was looking to staff its developer team with qualified individuals at reasonable salaries. While hiring front-end developers in the U.S. was an option, it was simply too expensive for BAXUS. Additionally, BAXUS wanted someone based in a different time zone in order to manage different shifts and timelines. By looking beyond the U.S. and tapping into the global market, Arc helped BAXUS solve their pain points — interviewing top senior candidates and cutting hiring costs.

The Solution: Pre-vetted remote developers from global market

BAXUS first found out about Arc through its sister company, Codementor. After understanding Baxus’ hiring needs, Arc quickly onboarded BAXUS and provided them with a list of curated remote developers who have been vetted for both hard and soft skills. 

In addition to looking at the developer’s technical abilities, BAXUS also wanted to hire diverse candidates, knowing their organization would benefit from their unique perspectives and experiences. By working with Arc, Baxus was able to hire their Founding Full Stack Developer, JD from Columbia, saying:

JD brings with him a wealth of technical and cultural knowledge.

The Results: Founding Full Stack Developer

While BAXUS originally intended to hire a senior front-end designer, Arc provided BAXUS with an even more experienced and senior candidate — a founding full-stack developer. With JD in the picture, BAXUS was able to take their product to wireframe to actual web development. 

According to the team at BAXUS, what really attracted them to Arc was the pricing and reliability:

Moreover, Arc reduced their operating costs for salaries by over $50,000 for the candidate they hired through Arc.
