How to Find and Hire the Best App Developers

https://yalantis.com/blog/5-ways-find-hire-best-mobile-app-developers/

Coming up with a great app idea is hard. But not as hard as finding a great app development team. Evans Data Corporation estimates there are 23 million people working as desktop, web, and mobile app developers worldwide. If you pick one of them without putting too much thought into it, you’ll harm your business. This article provides a few tips on how to find app developers.

Before you start searching for developers, ask yourself a few questions.

What specific business challenge would I like to solve?

There are three common scenarios:

a) You already have an in-house team but need more specialists. Depending on the scope of the project, you can hire an in-house professional, a freelancer, or a developer through an outstaffing agency. Outstaffing is when you rent a specialist from another company for a period of time.

b) You want to implement technology you’ve never used before. For instance, say you want to rewrite a website in React. You can wait till your developers learn React, hire a new developer, or hire specialists from an outstaffing company.

c) You want to develop a project from scratch. This scenario is common for both startups and existing businesses. Startup owners usually have budget constraints and want to quickly enter their niche, so they opt for outsourcing. Existing businesses want to automate business processes and choose between hiring an in-house or a dedicated team.

Should I outsource development or hire an in-house team?

As a rule of thumb, business owners want to release a new app quickly and without much investment. And of course, this app should be of the highest quality. At this point, the question arises of whether it’s worth hiring an in-house team or outsourcing. To make a wise decision, let’s consider the pros and cons of both options.
