Devico is an excellent Software development team. As a startup in Silicon Valley with minimal budget, I needed a Software team that meets our high expectations with a reasonable cost.

Things to consider while hiring an iOS developer

Experience

As a rule, an experience is always a determinative factor. However, hiring iOS developers, you have several options. On the ground of experience, number, and complexity of performed tasks, three levels of iOS developers are differentiated:

Junior iOS developers

A junior iOS developer is a newbie; that is why such a specialist is hired to perform unsophisticated tasks with the guidance of a mentor. It makes sense to hire a junior specialist if you have already had in your development team experienced staff, and there are some routine tasks to handle. This attitude is rather budget-friendly.

Middle iOS developers

These specialists have enough knowledge and can cope with either simple or complex tasks. A middle iOS developer does not need a mentorship; however, it can't hurt to control advanced task progress

Senior iOS developers

These experts have already completed many projects, worked in various teams, and are familiar with numerous technologies and techniques. A senior iOS developer can be hired to execute tricky tasks or lead the whole development team.

Domain expertise

The expertise of hired iOS developers is not less important than their experience. That is why it is better to ensure that developers have already built similar apps and been involved in projects related to a specific domain (e.g., healthcare). Therefore, you can be sure that they are well-versed not only in technical aspects but specific business needs.

Portfolio

It is one more crucial factor. A portfolio can help you reveal the proficiency level, experience, and expertise of your prospective candidates. Never neglect to check it.

Swift 3.0 and/or Objective-C proficiency;

Development environment: Cocoa and/or Cocoa Touch;

Frameworks: AppKit, UIKit, Foundation, Core Data;

Experience with Xcode IDE;
