Interview with David Mok at Labelbox
What’s your role at LabelBox?
My name is David Mok, and I’m the Director of D3 Marketing & Partnerships. I managed the Contentful CMS integration project along with Labelbox Co-founder and CTO Daniel Rasmuson (who also was involved in the developer hiring process).
Why did you decide to try Arc?
We decided to use Arc to help us easily find engineers after our Series B funding. We were looking for a front-end developer with Contentful experience and specific skills including React, Next.js, and Material UI.
Arc presented us with high-quality developer candidates to evaluate very quickly. We were able to interview and select the right developer within a week, helping us meet a tight timeline to launch our marketing CMS.
What were the main advantages of working with Arc?
Arc delivered a shortlist of candidates who matched our specific requirements within three working days. We quickly found our ideal candidate with the right mix of skills, namely hands-on Contentful experience and great at communication.
After interviewing with our CTO and getting the thumbs-up, we hired senior developer Bruno Molteni. With Bruno leading the project to implement designs and set up the Contentful CMS system, we launched our newly-updated website.
Now our marketing team can easily push content and create whitepapers without involving engineering, therefore streamlining changes and reducing the cost of site updates.
What advice would you give someone considering Arc?
Make sure to evaluate a handful of candidates before you choose someone but do have a set timeframe for making a decision. Keep everyone in the loop of your search process.
The more concrete of a written project brief that you can share, the higher likelihood you’ll be matched with a great candidate. Remember that there will be intangibles like communication style, responsiveness, and time zones that are requirements you’ll want to include and set expectations upfront.
Overall, I’ve found that the developers on Arc are very high-quality and talented so give it a try when you’re considering your next technical or marketing initiative.
