Nice platform for freelancing roles I've been doing part-time freelancing through Arc for 5 months now. Arc took care of the paperwork with my clients, and getting the payment through to me, and it's been stellar at that, thanks to their helpful and friendly staff. The quanity of available roles definetly needs to grow, but everything else has been perfect. It's also worth mentioning that to join Arc you must go through a screening process which is quite intensive, but also respectful of your time.

Big waste of time. Big waste of time. They have consultants do a "short" 2.5 hour test, and there's 3 more steps to the interview process. It's similar in effort to applying to a full-time job, but just for the ability to bid on projects that generally pay below-market rates. Or, at least, I think it'd be similar in effort to a full-time role. Whoever I was supposed to have an interview with ghosted me. They also have an unhealthy obsession with hourly rates in an industry where clients want to pay for results.

Irresponsible service 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 needs to be called out. Please avoid!

Codementor is a breath of fresh air Codementor is a breath of fresh air. The entire experience was unlike anything I had experienced before in the last 12 years being in the industry. The team is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and responsive and the talent they source for you is truly world class. I've completely stopped looking in other platforms because the time and money saved for the quality of finished product just cannot be beat. If your sick of the low quality high priced talent on Upwork or the broken customer experience with Toptal then you've got to get on Codementor NOW.

Team sets them apart from similar services The Codementor team is thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping companies succeed. We worked with Codementor when kicking off a major web project that we needed a bit of extra capacity for. Unlike some competitors, we felt that there were real, caring people on the Codementor side. And, they helped us find a wonderful fit. Platform and payments are easy – definitely recommend all around.
