Hiring Python developers from StackOverflow

StackOverflow is basically a question and answer site for professional programmers. It is a great platform to hire amazing Python talent.

StackOverflow is a site where programmers ask and answer technical questions. To hire a candidate, we need to look at candidates answer for a specific question to see if they fit your requirements or not

On StackOverflow, developers are isolated based on their reputation scores and specific user badge. A perfect candidate must ranks high for both score and user badge. Each and every question has a specific tag associated with it and these tags can help you in finding developers as per your requirement.


Hiring Python developers from GitHub

GitHub is one of the world’s largest code hosts having approximately 31 million developers. On GitHub, you can analyze developers profile to get information about their knowledge. If you are shortlisting profiles on GitHub first make sure that candidate is open to recruiters.

After that, follow these steps to find the best talent on GitHub:


First of all, create a profile on GitHub

After profile creation, search for 3 parameters- 1) language 2) location and 3) followers

Before connecting with any potential Python developer on GitHub, you must remember a few things.

1. Check repositories to familiarize yourself with their work which will be mutually beneficial as you can sort out candidates who will be not a good fit for the job role.

2. Cross-check their profiles on either LinkedIn to make sure if they would be a perfect fit for the job role or not

3. Don’t judge candidates based on their profile completion. Sometimes some developers don’t share their code publicly for security purposes.

4. Also, don’t judge a candidate on their social following count as it never reflects anything about their skills.


There are some more important factors while hiring a Python developer like how you are presenting a job description (JD), you need to design recruiter email templates and if needed you have to set some assessments for entry-level, mid-level and for senior python developer. Interview questions also play a very important role in hiring Python developers so one should get ready with all the questions and logic associated with it.
