Key Steps to Include in Your Interviews When Hiring Developers
Hiring is the most important thing you’ll do as a business. Selecting the best candidate to join your team comes with huge responsibility, and making the right choice isn’t always clear cut.
When you bring someone onto your team, you invest time and resources into training them and getting them up to speed on the project. What’s more, bringing on technical talent means entrusting them with confidential information about product features that haven’t yet been launched. And trying to integrate a new hire with your team when they just don’t “click” can be stressful, causing slow-downs within your team.
Understandably, there’s a lot of pressure that comes with finding someone you can trust to take your project to the next level. So it’s important to take the time to do it right.

Hiring Done by Humans vs Algorithms
Given the complexity of hiring developers, It’s no surprise that some companies have jumped at the idea of handing over the process to an algorithm. But, as of today, no algorithm can consistently choose the best candidate for your role. That’s because algorithmic methods don’t factor in enough variables, as much as many of us (Scalable Path included!) wish they could. After all, we’re a tech company first and foremost; we built our internal systems from the ground up, so we know that a 100% automated solution would be faster and less expensive. Unfortunately, it would also be less effective.
At Scalable Path Developers Hire Developers
For these reasons, we at Scalable Path rely on talent specialists with technical backgrounds to get to know both the clients and the developers they hire. This is because we believe in offering the best possible hiring experience. To do so, we bring two of our best assets to sourcing and vetting candidates: technical expertise and a human approach.
We know from our experience in this business that the most powerful option you have for finding the right candidate is a well-thought-out interview process. In this article, we’ll share some details of our three-stage vetting process and the philosophy behind it that helps us select the strongest candidates for any position.
