Did you know that there were 26.9 million mobile app developers in 2021?
In fact, according to forecasts, the number of mobile app developers is set to reach 29 million by 2024. 

That means if you want to get a mobile app developed, you have plenty of options to choose from. However, having so many options can become bothersome too.

With choice overload, you are also more likely to make the wrong call. But don’t fret.

Help is at hand.

I have onboarded and worked with 50+ mobile app developers in my 20+ years of experience in the mobile app development business. And I do have some insider secrets that can help you make the right call.

This guide will offer you:

• A list of questions to ask yourself before hiring mobile app developers
• Multiple ways in which you can find mobile app developers
• 5 Things to consider while hiring mobile app developers

Let’s get started.

A list of questions to ask yourself before hiring mobile app developers

With over 6.3 billion Smartphone users in the world today, it is logical for you to want to tap into the mobile market. A mobile app for your business can give you assured benefits. But with just that thought in mind, you cannot jump into the job market to find suitable candidates who will help you realize your business goals.

A little introspection is needed first. There are certain questions that you need to ask yourself. And you can check out the complete list of critical questions to ask yourself before looking for mobile app developers. 

Once you have found answers to all those questions, you can use one of the following ways to find the right mobile app developers.

Multiple ways in which you can find mobile app developers

When you are hiring mobile app developers, there are several ways to find the right candidate. Below I have elaborated in 4 of the most popular and widely-used options.

1. Online job boards

There are several job boards that you can use to share openings in your organization. Freshers and as well as experts visit these boards and might reach out to you. However, job boards and even platforms like LinkedIn also increase the hiring competition. Thus, you need to post a really lucrative offer to arouse candidate interest.

2. References

One of the least expensive ways to hire mobile app developers is to seek references from your current employees. 

That way, you can also be assured about the candidate to some extent because your employees will bring in candidates they trust.

3. Job listing on your website

You can also hire dedicated mobile app developers by posting a job requirement on your website’s careers page or inviting candidates via social media channels.

4. Trust experts

Hiring mobile app developers is a long, time taking process as finding the right candidate requires a lot of effort and expertise. If you don’t want to do the process yourself, you can partner with dedicated mobile app development companies that already have a team of mobile app developers. These developers can immediately start work on your mobile app development project and you don’t have to worry about hiring, onboarding, retaining, or training them.

While you can select either of these options, option #4, that is, trusting experts is the one with the maximum success rate. If you want to get your business mobile app developed on time and within budget, without umpteen hiring hassles, relying on experts is the best bet. 

If you rely on mobile app development companies that have a pre-vetted team of professionals, you don’t need to do anything else. 

However, if you still want to make the hiring call on your own, let me walk you through 5 key considerations. 

5 Things to consider while hiring mobile app developers

Here are 5  important things that you need to consider while hiring mobile app developers.

1. Technical proficiency

Well, of course. You don’t want your business mobile app to be built using copied code from StackOverflow or GitHub community comments. So technical proficiency is a must. 

2. Business sense

For developers, a mobile app is just a couple of thousand lines of code. But for you, it is at the heart of your business. So you need someone who can understand that and deliver a viable and working mobile app solution.

3. Professionalism

Unprofessional candidates, no matter how technically sound they are, shouldn’t be hired. Why? One fish spoils the entire pond, right? So don’t risk ruining your employee culture by hiring unprofessional employees.

4. Background and reference check

According to research, 40% of job seekers lie on their resumes. 

And 78% lie during other stages of the hiring process. 

To avoid falling into the trap of lying candidates carry out complete reference and background checks before onboarding anyone. 

5. Experience and portfolio

Saying you know how to build mobile apps is one thing.
Knowing how to build mobile apps is another.
And actually having developed mobile apps is something altogether different. 

Thus, you should never stop by seeing fancy technical degrees and hearing the candidates boast about the projects they have worked on. Always check their mobile app development portfolio and see if they have developed apps like the one you want.

Thus, it is important for you to screen and interview, in detail, every candidate that you consider for getting your business mobile app developed. Avoiding this laborious process is possible only when you source mobile app development services from reliable agencies.
