1. Define the Job description, skill-set & approximate years of experience of a desired programmer

To accomplish this, you require to have somebody professional who can define this for you. Do not ask to your friends or try to answer by yourself. Get professional help. You can ask this directly to CEOs of outsource companies.

2. Ask for a brief resume of the programmer

After finishing this first criteria, next best step is to ask for some relevant experience. This part is tricky one. Some programmers are clever and try to fool you by saying that they can provide you everything which you require and even show you some fake projects work.

3. Have Some issue sets for testing

It is better to have a small issue sets available, which you can give it to the programmer. Ask for the logic to solve the issue and if time permits, ask the programmer to even implement the logic and give you check solution. This is the most difficult part and requires lots of preparation beforehand.

4. Solve the issue for long-term, not short-term

In the event you are not a fly by night person or a company, and then go for a long term solution. It means – for your programming needs, do all 3 activities mentioned here and try to establish the relationship with a programmer or a company for long term.

5. Every hour rate is an illusion game when you keep bargaining

For example, there’re 2 programmers. Programmer A is having 2 years of experience and every hour rate is: 20$ per hour. Programmer B is having 1 year of experience and the rate is: 10$ per hour. In the event you look for the every hour rate, then choosing the lower is not always nice for you.

Now, for particular project work, programmer A will give you 1 hour estimate and for same work programmer B will give you estimate of 3 hours. do the math and you will know that programmer A will be cost effective finally.

Another case: In the event you bargain with programmer A and tell him to lower the rate, for example 15$ per hour. Once the programmer agree for it, and for same work of 1 hour, if he estimate 2 hours of work at 15$ rate. Again, same thing. Don’t bargain much. You always must pay higher for more experience.

6. Seek some genuine advice & research experience

In the event you have short listed candidates by following all above points; try to discover a actual genius. It’s always nice to work with genuine individuals who love to add value to their client’s business by giving some neutral advice & by doing small research. Ask some dumb questions to programmers and see how they answer you. This point will make a long term impact on your business. So, don’t neglect to check this point.

7. Help Programmers to get best out of them
