Finding Great Software Developers

NEW YORK - Nov. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Where are all those great software developers?

Did you land that big development contract or are there open positions that need to be filled? If you’re like most companies, you may have placed some job ads, maybe browsed around the large online boards, and have received a ton of resumes.

As you go through them, you think of what is the most effective way to technically screen them to ensure a successful hire? You have questions going through your mind. Do they have the technical know how? How qualified are they? Will they stay until the project is finished? But, what rarely happens is that you say, “WOW, this person is brilliant! This is exactly what we’re looking for!” In fact you can go through piles of job applications and never find a software developer to fit the job. Not a single one.

Why does this happen?

For software developers, indeed, the best people in every field, are quite simply very difficult to recruit and hire.

For the most part, great software developers are hard to come by and do not even show up on the radar. They already have a network of peers, bosses and companies which recruit and hire them before you can. They don’t send out a lot of resumes or apply for a lot of jobs.

Does this sound like the kind of person you want to hire? It should.

Great software developers are rarely on “open” market, and the under-qualified are quite plentiful. They come and go from companies on a frequent basis for a plentitude of reasons.  These under qualified software developers are often difficult to manage. They sometimes don’t work well with others or a team. They may not work within a framework or process and they often refuse to use the tools provided for them to improve their work and productivity.

Great software developers are rare, and average ones are abundant.   So it’s back to screening that growing pile of resumes from various jobs websites, LinkedIn, and recruiters.
