Terminal

Terminal (terminal.io) is a talent platform for hiring vetted remote and nearshore software engineers for full-time, contract, and contract-to-hire roles. It combines AI-fluency assessment and technical vetting (accepting roughly the top 7% of applicants) with Employer of Record (EOR) services that handle HR, payroll, and benefits across 180+ countries, sourcing engineers from Latin America, Canada, and Europe. Terminal is a B2B staffing and hiring platform rather than an API provider — it publishes no public developer API, SDK, or developer portal. Backed by 8VC and Lightspeed Venture Partners; added to the API Evangelist network as a company profile.

Terminal is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Recruiting, Talent, Hiring, and Software Engineering.

Terminal’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 8 more developer resources.
