Six steps to hire a cross-platform mobile developer
- Set the pay range first. Few postings for this work state pay, so look at what similar roles near you advertise and at what your own team earns. 40% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it.
- Write the description. Start from the cross-platform mobile developer job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
- Decide where the person can work. 23% of today’s cross-platform mobile developer postings are remote and 25% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
- Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
- Screen for the skills that matter. Today’s postings name Agile most often: check them in the work, not only in the resume. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the cross-platform mobile developer interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
- Decide quickly. Half of today’s open cross-platform mobile developer postings have been up more than 122 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.
A take-home task for a cross-platform mobile developer
- Use a real, anonymised task from your own work: the kind of problem the person will meet in the first month.
- Keep it to two or three hours, say so, and pay for anything longer.
- Ask for three things: the result, how they got there, and one recommendation or next step.
- Score every answer on the same points: correctness, clarity, judgement and the use of Agile.
- Talk it through in the next interview: how they explain their choices tells as much as the result.
- Not sure yet? A short paid trial project or a contract-to-hire term lets both sides check the fit.
