Lead your remote team

Know where
the day goes.

A full-time team needs clear expectations and a clear view of the work. Make time tracking a normal part of how you operate.

Know the working hours

Set a clear full-time schedule and use tracking to see recorded working time. Discuss gaps using a shared record of the working day.

From owners who use it

Visibility matters.
Owners say it too.

A software-company co-founder and a web-development business owner describe their experience with time tracking.

We are happy to work with Hubstaff because it enables us to have a team that can out-compete our competition.

Before you decide

Make tracking
part of the job.

Full-time work. Clear expectations.
A team you can stay close to.

Should every full-time remote engineering team track time?

Yes. For full-time remote engineering teams, we recommend time tracking as a standard part of the job. It gives the business a shared record of working time and useful context for managing the team. Set the policy before the offer and review the record alongside the work delivered.

How does time tracking fit a full-time role?

Agree on working hours, the tool, what it records, and who can see the reports. The engineer uses the tool during working hours. Review the record in regular check-ins to discuss priorities, progress, and blockers.

Can my AI agent find engineers who accept time tracking?

Yes. Candidates state whether they are comfortable using time-tracking software if a client requires it. Your AI agent, such as Grok, Claude, or ChatGPT, can sort and filter the Arca.ph network by that answer. Discuss your specific tool and settings before the offer.

Does Arca.ph provide a time tracker?

No. Arca.ph does not run, sell, or integrate a time tracker. Arca.ph helps you find full-time remote software engineers. You choose the tool, and you hire and pay the engineer directly.
