How to hire java developers in Chennai
Hiring java developers in Chennai usually means a job post, days of waiting and hundreds of unfiltered applications. Here's a faster way to brief, screen and shortlist, with or without a job post.
Write a clear brief
A good brief saves hours of screening. Include the role, experience, must-have skills, location or remote, budget and when they should start. For example:
Java Spring Boot developer, 4–7 years, Pune or Chennai, banking domain preferred.
Skills to screen for
Shortlist java developers on Core Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate/JPA, REST APIs, microservices and SQL. Ask for proof: projects, portfolios or results from their previous roles.
Interview questions
Explain how you'd design a REST API for orders
How do you handle transactions in Spring?
Experience with Kafka or messaging?
Hiring tip
Ask about real microservices they've owned, not just tutorials.
