In a world where the competition is high and there are some ready to cheat just to get it, we have to choose very carefully when it’s time to pick who’s in and who’s out. In this article, we are  going to help Website Development Company  or companies to effectively hire the right web developer for their team and further grow for the better.

Here are some tips on how to make sure you get the right man for the job:

Try It to Believe It

“Seeing is believing” as they say, and this is what you really need to pick the right employee, especially when it comes to a person that will be responsible for making sure the website will run smoothly. This isn’t some work that can have so much consideration, your website development company is being paid big to have good results, and saying sorry to your clients won’t be and will never be enough.

Test all your applicants for a small project, make them freelancers for now. You don’t need a lot of storytelling interviews because you need them for direct technicalities, you don’t need management skills, personality skills, and other skills, you just have to make sure he is good when it comes to creating websites. Those other values come along on the next steps, not just instantly. For now you need someone who is real and can deliver, that is the first step, don’t hire yet, list the real guys and remove the conmen. `

Aptitude is Best

Now that you got the list of applicants that has the skill and finished your projects, now you have to look for a certain trait in them. That certain trait that you need to find is none other than aptitude or simply the ability to adapt. This industry is a go and goodbye kind of thing, technology changes in a matter of days, not months and never years. Skills that they got in web development today may be useless tomorrow, and in 2 – 3 years that skill will just be a joke. 

You have to choose someone that can easily learn new skills from new technologies rather than having someone perfectly great at a specific technology like he is a pro at this computer language or this app, but we all know that they update and sometimes even be deleted. So, you need someone that can adapt and speedily learn new things. Some simple questions that will help you filter them out are these:

• How many programming languages do you know? And what is the most recent one you’ve learned?
• What is your most recent technology conference?
• Can you provide me the latest updates you know in the I.T. world?

Hire Fast, Fire Faster!

For a Website Development Company to become bigger, you have to be cold, not sometimes but most of the time at the start-up period. We are not talking about treating your employees like trash, but you have to be smart, if you have a slacking web developer, hire a new one then fire that lousy developer fast and as early as possible. Remember that a company is a team, and the strength is measured by the weakest point, in this industry it is a big no for a web developer to be the weakest point. Never compromise your client’s project because of one person, along with your company’s name. This is the reason why you have to let go fast until you got the right man worth keeping.
