What are Your Hiring Practises?
Andreas Pettersson, CTO of Right People Group, says, the question to ask a Software outsourcing agency always depends on the scope of the project. However, the one question I always ask is "What are your hiring practises?". Everyone can write a job application but presenting a highly maintainable application require experienced people. Therefore, it is essential to know if the agency is actively working with attracting the best developers.
Derek Gallimore, Founder of Outsource Accelerator, says, when building a remote team, an underrated question that almost never gets asked to the outsourcing agency is the company’s hiring process. My advice is to ask the agency about the hiring process, where they get their applicants, and what are their criteria for choosing their employees. By asking this, you will get an idea of the expertise and skills of the outsourcing agency’s employees who will be working for your brand. When a company has an elaborate process, you can be sure that they’ll only provide the best employees for you.
