Arc gave me the chance to enter the freelancing world after a year of searching. They are very professional and take care of all the paperwork with clients. Their interviews were great, and they have a very helpful and easy onboarding process. I’m happy to be one of their freelancers

I’ve been on the Arc platform for over…
I’ve been on the Arc platform for over a year, but I’ve never been vetted for the benefits you advertise getting hired 2x faster, having my profile shown to hiring managers, being recommended directly for jobs, and more. Instead, my profile has been stuck in “Profile review (Reviewing).” I haven’t received a communication test, a technical interview, or any next step.

Hi Chidi, thanks for the honest feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about the experience.
To clarify: vetting is tied to specific role opportunities rather than being an automatic queue, so talent isn’t spending time on tests or interviews before there’s a relevant role. That can mean a profile remains in ‘Reviewing’ while we wait for a matching opportunity.
I’d like to look into your case directly and give you a clear answer on where things stand — please reach out to [email protected] with your account details.

I have been working with Arc.dev
I have been working with Arc.dev, and it has been a consistently positive professional experience. As a software engineer, I value platforms that prioritize quality, transparency, and seamless integration, and Arc.dev excels on all three fronts.
What stands out most is the quality of both the internal team and the clients they connect us with. The team at Arc.dev is highly professional, responsive, and truly invested in ensuring a successful placement and ongoing engagement. The communication is clear, and the processes are well-structured, which allows me to focus on delivering high-quality code rather than dealing with administrative friction.
The clients I have worked with through the platform are professional and operate with clear objectives, making for productive, high-impact collaborations. It is refreshing to work with a company that understands the nuances of modern remote development and values the relationship between the engineer and the client. I highly recommend Arc.dev to both developers looking for challenging roles and companies seeking reliable, high-level technical talent.

Good Service
Arc is a great tool for your job search if you have patience and are willing to adapt to their unique hiring process. It requires staying on top of their documentation, but it pays off. I’m already on my third client contract through them! My only hiccup was my own fault for misreading instructions on a task. There's always room for platform improvements, but overall, I highly recommend Arc to any fellow developers looking for part-time contracts.

I have been on the Arc.dev platform for…
I have been on the Arc.dev platform for two years, and my profile is currently under review for "Arc Vetting." However, I have never been able to move past the second step of the process. When I reached out to support regarding my status, I was told that the vetting process is currently on hold while they focus on existing talent.
While the positive reviews you see might be from older users, my experience as a newer applicant has been highly frustrating. I would advise upcoming talents to avoid Arc.dev, as the team has been unprofessional and unable to properly address email queries.
Just disable option for new users to register, since you have very poor customer support and generally on-boarding

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry for the frustration this has caused.
You are correct that our Arc Vetting process has been paused while we focus on supporting and matching existing vetted talent on the platform. We understand how disappointing it can be to remain in review status without clearer communication, and we acknowledge that we could have handled your inquiries better.
We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate your case further. Please email our support team again with the email address associated with your Arc profile, and mention this review so our top management team can personally confirm what happened and review the communication history.
We value the feedback and are actively working to improve both our onboarding communication and support experience for newer applicants.
