Why you should Hire Open Source Developer in Your Team

Open Source has become a very internal part of several level of IT in recent years. Many companies are using open source software now more than ever. But when it comes to hiring open source developers,
most of them tend to stay away from the process.
This might be because most companies don't really put any value to open source applications. Eventually, no real value is placed on the people who code open source applications.

When hiring an open source developer, there are a few important considerations to take into account. I will cover some of the reasons why hiring open source coders can actually prove rewarding to your company.

Availability and Expertise
Open source software are always on their toes as they might need to mend the often broken programs. Companies like Microsoft continuously upgrade their programs ( e.g Windows) and so if you have a project built for these programs, you have to continuously update too to keep up these updates.
With this comes experience. You can always count an open source developer to code in the latest standards.
Passion…Because, why not?
Open source developers are generally passionate about their work. Therefore , hiring them would be hiring a passionate employee who is efficient and has the drive to work and go the extra mile too.
Support from the community
It is needless to say that having an open source developer on your team will enable you to enjoy the benefits of the open source community as well. With a diverse pool of coders behind your project, success is almost guaranteed …
Open-source developers go beyond resumes
Developing open source software means that your work is readily available for free for the world to see. Since the applications the candidates work on are open, you can easily gauge their skill sets and level of proficiency ( Like CodeSpread :-) do it for you ), based on their past work. Forget resumes- they are highly overrated. In programming, all you should care about is your interviewee can really write code.

Again , going open source also means that you are open to getting honest critics on your work.
A candidate with open source work will almost always be confident with their skills and open to corrections.
