To effectively vet candidates and hire a reliable Ruby on Rails developer, we at Syndicode follow the following routine. First, we check if the candidate has relevant experience by reviewing their portfolio.
Next, we assess proficiency in related technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and popular databases such as PostgreSQL. We also read reviews and testimonials from previous employers or clients to gauge reliability, work ethic, and client satisfaction.
If the candidate meets our criteria, we reach out to them to confirm their availability to ensure it aligns with our needs. Next, it’s time to schedule an interview to evaluate their understanding of the job requirements and their ability to explain their processes.
Finally, we conduct a technical test or request a code sample to assess their coding standards and problem-solving skills.
