How well can you understand whether a developer is right for you or not?

The demand for good programmers is growing yearly, the supply is increasing, and the direction itself remains one of the most demanding today.

But, unfortunately, not everyone is whom they say they are.

If you have a technical background, it will be easier to find your candidate, but what if you don't?

Let's say you have an idea or a financial resource, but you need to gain experience in development.

And there is simply no time to deep into it, as you are busy with other things.

There are some simple ways that will make it easier for you to imagine a person.

🌀 For example, inquiring about task complexity is a great way to turn some of those abstract CV points into things you can actually understand. Ideally, you’ll want your candidate to clearly explain what they have done in the past and demonstrate familiarity with technical language and terms.

The better they do it, the more likely they are or will be to have problem-solving capabilities.

If you have good practice skills, write a lot of code, and have actually done what you claim, you should be able to answer on the spot.

So, don't be shy, asking your interviewees about the details behind those resume points. If they can't give you a detailed answer, they might not be up to the task.

🌀 Also, most businesses want people who are interested and passionate about their craft.

One of the most important questions you can ask an applicant is, “what was your last project about’? This will allow you to see whether they know who ultimately used their product or service and what sort of problem they were solving through their development role.

Finding the right person for the team is not an easy task, but achievable.
