Thanks @tsvetanganev! Really helpful. Also, where do you usually look for jobs? Which platform is best to post to? Also, any idea on good salary ranges?
Lots of these depend on where the candidate lives and where the company operates. I usually look at a specialized job board for developers which is popular in my country. Sometimes I find interesting job postings on Twitter as well. Nothing can beat personal recommendation from a friend though - HR people often hide unpleasant details about working at the company or simply aren't aware of the problems that the development team is struggling with.
About salary ranges - again that really depends on where the candidate lives - some people might be top 1% earners in their country with a salary that is considered really low for US or Canada. However, some companies can't hire people abroad due to legal obstructions or time zone differences. It's best to open a job board in your country and look at similar job offerings with declared salaries.
I can't tell you without looking at the job offer you're posting, but I can share a list of things that I find as a red flag:
I always check this one: the company has a shitty website or no online presence
