Edit Getting Hiring Advice

1. 1
   Reach out to friends who are developers. If you know a successful developer, they can be a great resource for helping you figure out what to look for in a potential hire. Contact some developers in your network, and let them know that you are planning to hire someone. Ask if they can provide any insight or advice about what to look for in a good developer. They may even be able to recommend someone for the position.1

   Talk to colleagues who have hired good developers. If you know someone in your field who recently hired a developer, have a chat with them about their hiring process.^[2] Ask them a few key questions, such as:

   • What are the most important qualities you look for in a developer?
   • What are some common pitfalls to look out for when hiring a developer?
   • Where and how did you find your best developer(s)?
   • What sorts of questions do you ask when interviewing a developer?
