    CAD Drafters — FAQ

    Can they work in Revit at LOD 300+?

    Yes — most senior drafters work LOD 300/350 production and coordinate with MEP consultants in linked Revit models.

    How much does it cost to hire a remote CAD Drafter through HiresLink?

    CAD Drafters start at $1,690/mo on a flat monthly rate — no placement fee and no long-term contract. A comparable in-house cad drafter in the US averages about $62K per year before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and office overhead, so most architecture teams save roughly 67% on the same scope of work. Staffing & HR management is billed at the lower of $800/month or 25% of the salary.

    What is included in the monthly rate for a CAD Drafter?

    The flat rate covers sourcing, AI + human vetting, skills testing, reference checks, contracting, payments in local currency, compliance paperwork and ongoing HR support. You get a dedicated cad drafter working your hours on AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Bluebeam Revu — not a shared pool or a ticket queue.

    How fast can we hire a CAD Drafter?

    You receive a shortlist within 48 hours of your intake call. Most architecture clients interview 2-3 pre-vetted cad drafters in the first week and have someone onboarded in 7-14 days, because candidates are already tested on US construction documentation, Redline implementation, Permit-set production.

    How do you vet cad drafters?

    Every candidate passes a four-stage screen: AI-assisted resume and background parsing, a live English interview (C1 level or above), a hands-on software test in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and two verified employer references. Only the top ~3% of applicants reach your shortlist.

    What time zone do cad drafters work in?

    Talent is based in Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil), so they work US Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific business hours with full real-time overlap. Your cad drafter joins your standups, answers Slack during your day and closes work in the same cycle as your onsite team.

    Which tools and software can a CAD Drafter work in?

    Our architecture bench works daily in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Bluebeam Revu, Lumion. If your stack is different, we screen specifically for it before the shortlist — day-to-day responsibilities include Produce floor plans, elevations, sections, details, Implement architect redlines, Build permit-set deliverables.

    Is it secure and compliant to work with a remote CAD Drafter?

    Yes. Every contractor signs an NDA and a confidentiality agreement, works through access you control (SSO, least-privilege roles, no local data storage) and is trained on W-8BEN, EOR, USD flat rate, Bilingual EN/ES. We handle local contracts, invoicing and tax documentation so there is no misclassification risk on your side.

    What if the CAD Drafter is not a fit?

    Contracts are month-to-month with a 30-day notice. If a placement is not working within the first 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost and the replacement search starts the same week. HiresLink staffs bilingual remote CAD drafters from Latin America for US architecture firms producing AutoCAD and Revit construction documents and permit sets with EOR compliance and USD flat-rate pricing starting at $15/hr.

    Do your cad drafters know AutoCAD?

    Yes. AutoCAD is a standard requirement on our architecture bench — candidates complete a hands-on test inside AutoCAD before they reach your shortlist, and most also work in Revit. If you run a different platform, tell us at intake and we screen specifically for it.

    What Architecture teams say

    Reviews from US companies that hired architecture staff through HiresLink.

    "Our drafters from HiresLink work in Revit at a standard I'd expect from a US mid-level, at a rate that let us take on two more projects this year. They sent portfolios with the shortlist so I could judge the work before the first interview."
