Need top-notch developer talent fast? But you’re worried you may fall victim to bad hiring and end up with a developer with below-par skills?

You’re not alone in this.

Every day, hundreds of people, especially non-technical ones, fall victim to wrong hiring when it comes to hiring developers.

This is why RocketDevs was built to simplify technical hiring for everyone, by making pre-vetted developers readily available at affordable pricing
 
 

Who are Pre-Vetted Developers?

Pre-vetted developers are software developers who have already been thoroughly evaluated, tested, and verified by a third-party company or platform. This means their skills, experience, and quality of work have been confirmed, making them a reliable choice for businesses or projects.
 
Example:
Imagine you need a Front-end Developer to build a responsive website for your e-commerce business. You could:
 
A) Post a job ad on social media, receive dozens of applications, and then spend time:

• Reviewing resumes and portfolios
• Conducting technical interviews
• Checking references
• Testing their coding skills
• End up hiring someone wrong for the job

 
Or
 
B) Use a platform like RocketDevs, which already has a list of pre-vetted Front-end Developers. These developers have been:
 

• No need to sift through countless resumes
• Candidates are screened for their technical skills (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React)
• Tested for their problem-solving abilities
• Evaluated for their experience with responsive design and e-commerce platforms
• Verified for their communication skills and ability to work with clients

 

With RocketDevs, you save time and reduce the risk of hiring an unqualified or unreliable developer. You can focus on your project’s requirements, knowing that the pre-vetted developer has the necessary skills and expertise to deliver high-quality work.

2. Comprehensive Coding Assessment

The second step in our pre-vetting process is a comprehensive coding assessment. This 2-3 hour skill evaluation allows us to:

• Evaluate a candidate’s ability to write elegant, efficient, and effective code
• Assess their analytical skills and problem-solving prowess
• Gauge their programming expertise in a practical setting

 
Practical Example:
Let’s say we’re evaluating a Python developer. We challenge them to build a simple web crawler using Python within a 2-hour timeframe. During the assessment, we observe how they:

• Write readable, well-structured code
• Handle errors and exceptions with ease
• Optimize their code for performance and scalability
• Think critically to overcome challenges that arise during the task

 
After the assessment, we review their code and evaluate their performance. This hands-on evaluation provides a clear picture of the candidate’s technical abilities, enabling us to make informed decisions about onboarding our pre-vetted developers
 
It’s like a “test drive” for the candidate, showcasing their skills in a real-world setting and helping you find the perfect fit for your development team.

3. Project Assessment

RocketDevs’ pre-vetting process includes a project assessment that mirrors real-world scenarios, testing developers’ hands-on skills. This evaluation aims to:

• Replicate actual project work
• Challenge candidates to apply their skills to practical problems
• Showcase their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities

 
Practical Example:
We’re pre-vetting a full-stack developer and have assigned a project to build an e-commerce platform. The candidate must:

• Design and implement a shopping cart feature using React, Node.js, and MongoDB
• Implement user authentication and authorization
• Ensure responsive design and mobile-friendliness

 
Within 3-4 hours. During this time, they must demonstrate:

• Ability to design and implement features from scratch
• Clean, efficient, and well-documented coding skills
• Troubleshooting and debugging abilities

 
This project assessment simulates a real-world scenario, allowing us to evaluate the candidate’s practical skills, such as problem-solving, coding skills, and attention to detail.
 

4. Communication Interview

Our pre-vetted developers always go through a communication interview that assesses more than just their language proficiency. It evaluates the ability to:

• Clearly articulate complex technical ideas
• Confidently lead and communicate thoughts and ideas
• Effectively collaborate and promote teamwork

 
The interview ensures that developers can communicate technical concepts to non-technical team members, lead projects with clarity and confidence, and collaborate seamlessly with colleagues and clients.
 

5. Cultural Alignment Assessment

RocketDevs assesses developers’ soft skills to ensure they fit the organization’s culture, including:

• Communication and teamwork skills
• Adaptability and flexibility
• Problem-solving and conflict resolution
• Emotional intelligence and empathy

 
This helps us understand how well a developer will integrate with the team, adapt to the company culture, handle conflicts, and align with the organization’s mission and vision.
