How to hire python developers
Hiring python developers 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:
Python/Django developer, 2–4 years, remote, product startup.
Skills to screen for
Shortlist python developers on Python, Django or FastAPI, REST APIs, SQL and ORMs, testing and scripting and automation. Ask for proof: projects, portfolios or results from their previous roles.
Interview questions
Django vs FastAPI: when would you choose each?
How do you structure a large Python project?
Describe an automation you built
