How does Arc vet full-time & freelance software developers’ technical skills?

For Arc’s permanent (full-time) software developers, the process begins with a manual profile review and a quick chat or video self-introduction to assess their communication skills and eligibility to be featured to companies. Next, we let them choose either a coding challenge or a technical interview, both of which take about an hour to complete. If they make it past that, we’ll onboard them as a verified software developer, and they become eligible to get featured to companies who want to hire software engineers on Arc.

For freelance software developers, we first conduct a manual profile review, scouring their online profiles to make sure they have a solid technical background, work experience, and other elements. We then ask them to send a video self-introduction to assess their English, communication skills, and other soft skills important to effectively working remotely. Next, we hold either a technical interview or peer programming session to assess their hard skills, followed by a final candidate review. If everything goes well, we’ll have an onboarding call to welcome them onto the Arc platform.
