5 Dos and Don'ts When Hiring a JavaScript Developer Part 2

Hiring a JavaScript developer is not as simple as it seems. You need to be very careful while choosing the right candidate for the job. Previously, we went over some of the basics when it comes to developer hiring. 

In this article, we will discuss even more dos and don'ts for hiring a JavaScript developer to make the hiring process more efficient.

1) DO: Share Your Business Goals

When you are interviewing a developer, you need to make sure that they understand your business goals. They need to have a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve with your website or application.

If the developer cannot understand your goals, then they will not be able to create a solution that meets your needs. Make sure to discuss your goals with the developer before hiring them.

2) DON'T: Focus on Asking Technical Questions

While it is important to ask the developer technical questions, you should not focus on this alone. You need to make sure that the developer is a good fit for your business.

Ask the developer about their experience, their skills, and their past projects. Make sure to get a sense of their personality and how they work. Only hire a developer if you feel confident that they are a good fit for your business.

3) DO: Check Your Candidates' References

One of the best ways to determine if a developer is a good fit for your business is to check their references. Ask the developer for a list of references and then reach out to those references to get feedback on the developer's skills, experience, and personality.

If the developer doesn't have any references, you may want to reconsider hiring them.

4) DO: Ask the Developer to Show You a Portfolio of Their Previous Work

A great way to get a sense of the developer's skills and experience is to ask them to show you a portfolio of their previous work.

Ask the developer to send you a link to their portfolio and then take a look at their previous projects. Make sure to evaluate their work to see if they are a good fit for your business.

5) DON'T: Work with Developers Who Don't Have a Sense of Data Privacy

A skilled JavaScript developer who understands privacy concerns and safety measures can help you avoid hefty fines that may be imposed as a result of violating regulations. They can also help you convert and retain more app users by guaranteeing the protection of the information they share with your app.

Excellent developers should work with you to create a data privacy and protection plan for your applications. This plan will include the steps that your organization will take to ensure that data is protected both in transit and at rest. It will also include measures to protect your applications against denial of service (DoS) and other attacks.
