Looking to hire an iPhone developer? Well, there are certain points you should make sure you cross check when you are hiring an iPhone developer. As there are many of them available online these days you will have to be very careful that you choose the right person for your project because if you make a mistake you may loose out on the money spent, time and effort. And worse than that you might end up delivering a not so good performing application to your clients.
So here are some of the main points:
Well, first of all decide whether you are going to hire a freelancer or a developer from an outsourcing company. It is highly recommended that you hire your iPhone developer from an outsourcing company because there you will get more experienced and trustworthy developers as the companies make sure they have their developers performing well on their behalf. Plus there are other benefits too of hiring from a company.
Secondly, have a close look at their portfolio. That will give you a good idea about the capabilities of the iPhone developer. Look at what kind of projects they have worked, its quality, the professional approach, whether the result looks satisfactory and whether or not matched with the kind of work you are hoping to get done. The portfolio will give a fairly good idea about the creativity and the inclination to do something other than the prevalent style.
Thirdly, if the iPhone developer is from an outsourcing company, then look at their own website. Look at how well they have created their website because if they do not have a good website then it will be pretty clear that they are not worth dealing with. Have a look at all the important ingredients like navigation, color schemes, the content and profiles of all the iPhone developers there are to be hired from.
Fourthly, before finalizing narrow down to your most preferred ones and then give them a sample project and work as if it was the final project. During this interaction look at their communication competence as it plays a very important role while you are working on a project. He should be able to communicate with properly, understand your needs, gives you timely feedback and updates. If there is a problem in communication then avoid finalizing them as the same problems might occur later on creating confusion and lack n quality.
So if you can make sure you use all of these cross check points then there should be no problem and you will be on your way to finalizing your project.
