A programmer is one of the most critical hires a company can make, as websites and web applications rely on their expertise. You do not want to risk hurting your business, and wasting your time searching through resumes to find someone to replace your existing coder. Use these tips to find a coder that will be able to with excel at the job:
Check Their Background
Always get to know the background of the employee. What is their work experience? How long have they been coding? Do their previous clients give positive feedback? How do they personally get along with others? You want to ensure that the coder will fit in with the rest of your staff, especially if you already have other coders working for the company. One thing to remember is that it can be hard for a person who has worked for a larger company to work for a smaller startup. They can feel overwhelmed by the amount of work they need to do for a smaller company, and they can struggle with a smaller benefit package and other perks.
Test Their Skills
A great resume is something that you want to look at, but it can be deceiving. While a person looks excellent on paper, they are not always the same in person. You need to test their skills to find out if they will be able to fit. Test their skills with a small project first. A basic non-critical project is a great way to get an idea of the work they can do. It’s a great way to see how efficient they are, and how creative they truly are, and how well they will fit in.
Take Your Time
You need to take your time when you go through the hiring process. You want to find the right person for the job, not just someone who can be a temporary fill. Use ApplicantPro’s hiring software to help you select a pool of candidates that are perfect for the job.
