How to hire software developers in Kolkata
Hiring software developers in Kolkata 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:
Backend developer, Java and Spring Boot, 3–5 years, Bangalore or remote, up to ₹20 LPA.
Skills to screen for
Shortlist software developers on data structures and algorithms, one or more languages (Java, Python, JavaScript), system design basics, Git, testing and APIs. Ask for proof: projects, portfolios or results from their previous roles.
Interview questions
Describe a system you designed and its trade-offs
How do you approach code reviews?
Tell me about a production bug you fixed
Hiring tip
A short, relevant take-home or pair-programming task beats puzzle-only interviews.
