FAQs
Why hire a QA developer?
In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.
Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a QA developer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote QA developers can help keep your website up-to-date.
How do I hire QA developers?
To hire a QA developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.
Arc offers three services to help you hire QA developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time QA developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire.

Where do I hire the best remote QA developers?
There are two types of platforms you can hire QA developers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find QA developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.
If you’re looking to hire the best remote QA developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their QA developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote QA developers.
Some factors to consider when you hire QA developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.
Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find QA developers for hire.
How do I write a QA developer job description?
Writing a good QA developer job description is crucial in helping you hire QA developers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote QA developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
