How to find the best developers screening It doesn’t matter how you decide to look for candidates. You either go for an interview with an in-house developer or talk to the company’s project manager. In any case, you check potential candidates and make sure they are suitable. Here are some helpful tips to help you scrutinize your potential developers: Check out their portfolio Whether it is a company or an individual, you want to know their experience and see what quality they can provide. In addition, it allows you to see if they have experience in a similar business niche. Take a look at their technical experience One way to find programmers is to select them based on their technical stack. For example, there is no need to conduct additional interviews with the company if you decide to develop your application on AngularJS, and they only have experience with .NET. Try to find reviews Ask about the company or employee you are interested in, online or offline. A good reputation always means a lot in this business. Once you have finished creating a pool of potential candidates, move on to the next step.
