Hiring Kit: Mobile Application Developer

For much of the world’s population, mobile devices serve as the primary tool for getting things done. Whether it’s banking, scheduling meetings, buying new clothes, or ordering pizza, the mobile smartphone, running a specifically designed application, can do it. Businesses in practically any industry simply must have a presence on mobile devices or they will suffer from a considerable competitive disadvantage.

Creating, designing, developing, and implementing apps for an increasingly mobile world is the job of the mobile application developer. Like all application developers, the best candidates for such a position will have impeccable programming skills, but also something more.

This customizable hiring kit, created by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, provides a framework your business can use to find the right mobile application developer. The kit includes salary details, a job description, interview questions, and a job advert.

    DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

    Obviously, all candidates should have excellent programming skills, but those skills will likely need to be honed down to specific languages and operating systems. This means that you must first know what your project(s) will require out of an individual employee.

    In general, mobile apps are produced for specific operating systems: Android, iOS, or both. Each system has different requirements, different styles, and different ecosystem rules. Your recruiting process should focus on finding developers specializing in one or the other, unless you specifically require a person with skills and experience in both operating systems.

    Beyond programming skills, candidates should also have some working knowledge of app design, user interfaces, and security protocols. The screen sizes for mobile devices varies, and the interface must be adaptable to the different requirements. Such devices use wireless communication, and therefore must be able to receive and transmit data securely with some form of encryption. These specialized skills may not be as familiar to traditional developers.
