[Your delightful hiring alternative] Arc takes the friction out of hiring remote talent. Hire full-time remote developers and build engineering teams with top vetted talent around the world. Brought to you by the makers of Codementor.
Hello Product Hunt,
We're thrilled to announce Arc today!
We aim to change the way we hire and work remotely. The bulk of remote hiring services are still focused on finding short-term freelancers, rather than thinking of remote work as a genuine full-time employment option. It’s clear that the friction of going remote is still too high for many organizations and individuals.
This is why we are launching Arc today: to offer a complete remote hiring solution to find full-time remote developers and build remote engineering teams.
We're introducing Arc in its alpha stage to get feedback from supporters like you. As we work to reduce the friction of hiring remotely for both sides of the hiring equation, we invite you - developers and organizations alike - to join us on this journey.
We would love to hear any thoughts or feedback from the community.
@fdefar Arc focuses on more than just short-term contract/freelance opportunities. Arc connects great talent with full-time remote opportunities as well.
Having an issue at contracting vetting process final step. I am mentor at codementor since 4 years. And i just get this notification about arc() and i try to use that platoform it's seems really great. But i found some issue that i can not finished that process that stuck at the final step and i hit OK CONFIRM buttom that spinner just spinning since 10 minuts.
@charlietango592 Great question! The existing CodementorX opportunities will be incorporated into Arc’s expanded hiring solution (retiring the name CodementorX). We are focused on building up the number of longer-term remote opportunities with Arc (emphasizing full-time roles and helping organizations build remote teams). But you can still find great short-term and freelance opportunities through the Arc platform as well.
@weitingliu I understand. I am a long term guy but I'm not very attracted to full-time roles. (maybe I'm a rare case) Is there any chance to see long term part-time opportunities on Arc? Do you have demand for this kind of roles from clients?
@charlietango592 Yes! We still do see companies who work with engineers on a part-time contract basis and many of the engagements are long-term as well.
What about regular codementor.io sessions and freelance jobs ? I have been a mentor here since 3 years and really enjoy it. Will they be continued on codementor.io as usual ?
This is the worst platform for developers. I went through their system and was on their platform for 4-5 months, during which I got interviewed for couple of times but no updates after the interview. There was no communication from the Arc team. The client rather reached out to me over LinkedIn complaining Arc never got back to him either. Providing the feedback to the team or their CEO didn't help. This is a hustle being run by unprofessional people who don't respect others time. I avoid giving such negative reviews but a service which wastes time and effort of developers and does not improve needs to be called out. Please avoid!
Hi @weitingliu congratulations!
What about the "regular" CodeMentor jobs, will they remain on the codementor.io site or will they also move over to Arc?
PS clicking on CodeMentorX doesn't seem to go very well at the moment?
@ana_pastor_martin Hi Ana - thanks for the question. We offer a 3-month guarantee that if the hire doesn’t work out, we’ll help you find another candidate free of charge. I invite you to schedule a call with our team (get started through our site) to learn more!
first thing I notice is that list of suggested roles as a full-time engineer is too short, I can't find architect or something similar (hope its a good place to left a product feedback). Also I've lost in the space (404) when I clicked "my profile" link.
Logged in with my existing Codementor account. Would like to apply as a developer. Instead, the app asked me how many developers I'd like to hire. Hrm...
