iOS development is the process of creating mobile applications for Apple’s operating system. iOS applications are written using two programming languages: Swift and Objective-C. These applications are hosted on the Apple App Store.
iOS developers build software for Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Hiring an iOS developer also benefits a company by allowing millions of Apple users to access its services.
What to look for in an iOS developer?
An iOS developer should have the technical and soft skills required to fit into the company culture.
Developers must be qualified in languages such as Swift and Objective-C. They should hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Additional certifications would be a boost.
Recruiters should also keep communication skills as an important consideration while hiring iOS developers. This will help promote teamwork.
What Do You Need to Know Before Hiring an iOS Developer?
Here are some important aspects to keep in mind if you are looking to recruit iOS developers:
Ensure that the skillset of the developer is suitable for your project. An iOS developer specializing in game development may not be the best fit for your company’s mobile banking application.
Avoid posting unrealistic job specifications which may drive away qualified developers. Requiring far too much from candidates will limit your pool of talented iOS developers to choose from.
iOS developers should be familiar with modern standards in programming to keep up with the changing industry. Knowledge of the Swift programming language is a must while usage of Object-C is now discouraged. You must recognise these changing patterns and ensure that the developer is fully equipped for your requirements.
Junior iOS developers have less than 2 years of experience. Mid-level and senior developers have a minimum of 2 years and 5 years of experience respectively. A company should choose an iOS developer keeping in mind the complexity of the required tasks.
Skills to Look For When You Hire Top iOS Developers
The skillset of the ideal iOS developer is constantly changing with evolution in technology. Here are some of the skills on the basis of which you should hire iOS developers:
- Swift 3.0 Programming Language: Swift 3.0 is the go-to programming language for iOS software development worldwide. iOS developers must master Swift 3.0 to build modern applications.
- XCode IDE: Knowing how to use Apple’s XCode IDE is essential for any iOS developer. This contains a set of software development tools created by Apple. It is used to create modern applications and enhance the user experience.
- Memory Management: It is important for developers to have knowledge of memory management. The application may get slower and crash if the memory is not properly managed.
- UI/UX: An iOS developer should have a fair understanding of design concepts such as UI/UX. UI/UX is used to improve the functionality and appearance of mobile applications. This enables the application to attract more users.
- Networking: JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is the accepted mode of data exchange. iOS developers need to have knowledge of this tool to determine how data is transferred over networks.
- Source Control: All changes made in the source code can be tracked using this feature. It is used to prevent conflict among developers working on the same application.
Steps to Hire iOS Developers
- Decide whether to hire an in-house iOS development team or work with freelancers. This decision should be made keeping in mind the company’s resources and frequency of development-related tasks.
- Assess the quality of the developer’s portfolio and ask questions regarding the company’s desired skillset.
- Analyze the candidate’s personality and suitability to the role. This includes their communication and people skills.
- Previous job roles of the developer must be checked to ensure that he would be a good fit for the company.
- Clearly state the requirements of the position and the type of profile which the company is looking for.
Hiring an Experienced and Reliable iOS Developer
-
Testimonials are powerful tools for determining the reliability of an iOS developer.
-
Ensure that the developer’s area of expertise and the skills required by your company are similar in nature.
-
Check the developer’s ability to absorb feedback and come up with fresh ideas regarding the project.
-
Teamwork is an important aspect of a developer’s skillset. Evaluate their communication skills and ability to work in a group.
The culture of your brand and the values of the developer must be aligned. This will help avoid conflicts and ensure positive results.
