It&#8217;s since become the mainstream approach: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20260408440073\/en\/CIT-Releases-Nearshoring-for-the-AI-Era-Highlighting-LATAM-as-a-Key-Hub-for-Accessible-High-Quality-AI-Talent\">2026 report from CI&amp;T<\/a> found 76% of tech leaders plan to increase nearshore hiring over the next two years, and 60% say they&#8217;ve already shifted offshore or nearshore spending toward Latin America.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hirewithnear.com\/state-of-latam-hiring-report\">Near&#8217;s 2026 State of LatAm Hiring Report<\/a> found 84% of U.S. placements in the region are now at mid-level or senior positions, not junior or entry-level work. What made this story worth telling in 2025 wasn&#8217;t the geography, it was the depth of vetting for both technical skill and culture fit, and that part of the story matters more, not less, now that hiring senior engineers in LATAM is the default rather than the exception.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve also noted below where Arc&#8217;s product details have changed since this case study was first published, where Pathrise&#8217;s own status has changed, and where we weren&#8217;t able to independently verify a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summary:<\/strong> Arc found the right contract engineer for Pathrise, adding highly skilled candidates to their interviewing funnel the very same day.

Per Springshare&#8217;s own announcement, Pathrise&#8217;s software platform and mentorship program are being folded into Springshare&#8217;s CareerShift division rather than shut down, so the product and mentorship model continue, just no longer as an independently branded company.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We weren&#8217;t able to reach the team for a fresh 2026 quote on the hire&#8217;s long-term impact given that transition, so the acquisition itself is the most relevant update we can confirm rather than a new statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for top talent fast?

After a previous hiring mishap using a different platform, Pathrise came to Arc to find quality engineering talent for a full-time contract role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He chose Arc to help speed up the process and widen their search to include global talent. They considered candidates in LATAM as the hourly rate was more affordable and their team could easily collaborate with the timezone overlap, a strategy that, per the note above, has since become the norm for U.S. companies hiring senior engineering talent rather than a workaround for tight budgets specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/remote-staffing-agency-guide-how-to-choose-the-best-partner-for-hiring-developers\/\"><strong><\/strong>Remote Staffing Agency Guide: How To Choose The Best Partner For Hiring Developers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Solution\"><\/span><strong>The Solution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After understanding what kind of talent Pathrise was looking for, Arc provided their team with a list of vetted, interview-ready candidates on the very same day. They also zeroed in on candidates who met their high technical standards and were a good cultural fit for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Arc quickly delivered candidates that met our very high bar, it&#8217;s the best remote hiring platform we&#8217;ve used,&#8221; said Derrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Derrick praised Arc&#8217;s quick hiring process and great customer support, mentioning timely and effective communication. He also appreciated the personalized guidance from the Arc team who always responded quickly to answer his questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also highlighted Arc&#8217;s effectiveness in shortlisting candidates and scheduling interviews with several of their top-pick candidates. Streamlining the entire process allowed Pathrise to find Andrey, a full-time contractor based in Brazil hired as a senior software engineer, and have him onboarded within a week of his final interview. We don&#8217;t have additional verified detail on Andrey&#8217;s specific tech stack beyond what&#8217;s in the original case study, so we&#8217;re not adding specifics we can&#8217;t confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Results\"><\/span><strong>The Results<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Initial Contact to Shortlist:<\/strong> Same day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shortlist to First Interview:<\/strong> 3 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final Interview to Onboarding:<\/strong> 6 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire hiring process, from the initial consultation call with Arc to signing the contract with Andrey, took about 30 days, much quicker than the usual industry timeline or an in-house recruitment process, which can take several weeks or months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gap has arguably narrowed somewhat as more platforms have adopted faster, AI-assisted sourcing since 2025, but a 30-day total timeline for a senior contract hire, from first call to signed contract, remains a strong benchmark for how to hire contract engineers without cutting corners on vetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Derrick emphasized the platform&#8217;s effectiveness, saying, &#8220;Arc really understood what we were looking for, both in terms of skills and culture fit, making our hiring process faster and much smoother.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Closing Thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After working together for several months, Derrick and his team were so pleased with Andrey&#8217;s contributions that they increased his salary and extended his contract for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Andrey has become one of our top performers, and his smooth integration into the team and ongoing contributions showcase the high-quality talent Arc provides.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you may consider other options to help you hire great talent, Pathrise strongly recommends Arc for anyone, especially fast-growing and early-stage startups like them, to hire contract engineers, marketers, or designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/tech-hiring\/\">Tech Hiring 2026: Stay Ahead In A Shifting Job Market<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_for_top_freelance_or_full-time_talent_for_your_team\"><\/span><strong>Looking for top freelance or full-time talent for your team?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arc is your shortcut to top remote developers, designers, and marketers.
