How to Hire a Developer For Your Startup
Sharing helpful sites, resources, and key considerations along the way
Do you have an idea for a startup company, but you aren’t technically savvy? Or maybe you’ve already begun work on validating your early-stage startup idea, but now need someone to build out your solution to the next level?
Hiring a developer might seem daunting at first, especially if you’re a non-tech entrepreneur. However, with the right resources, knowledge, and guidance, you can add a valuable player to your team with less heartache than you might think.
Developers are everywhere. There are thousands of developers working across the world who are ready to jump in and work with you on your concept.
My intent here is to walk you through the high-level process of effectively finding and hiring a talented developer for your startup needs.
Start with a Solid Concept
Before you hire a programmer, you should have a solid idea of the problem you’re solving and a relatively clear picture of your product concept. Meaning, you’ve done research on your ideal client base and gained a preliminary understanding of user pain points and response to your solution.
