It has been said a thousand times before, and we’ll say it again: your company needs an app to connect to all potential customers everywhere in the world. Before all that happens, Cad Crowd is here to connect you with professional app developers to get the job done.
According to Think with Google, smartphone users have on average 35 apps installed on their device. That’s probably on the lower-end, as some people actually see more than double the amount of apps when they’re done swiping the screen. As for the number of apps available on Google Play and App Store, there are somewhere around 5 million of them. Granted, the vast majority of those apps are not on everyone’s smartphones.
Mobile app development has become a thriving industry of its own. The competition is fierce, but newcomers are always welcome in every app category. Of all the apps you can find on both platforms, probably only 100 to 200 apps are constantly staying on the top of the “most downloaded” lists. Many of them are tools, communications, news/magazines, and productivity apps developed by Google and Apple themselves, added with some alternatives from big names like Microsoft, Meta, Samsung, Adobe, and Opera.
Our recruiters at Cad Crowd take the time to review work histories, client references and employers’ recommendations to determine if a developer can be a valuable addition to your team. Cad Crowd can help your company find capable candidates for your app developer position.
The role of app developers is to build programs or applications for specific operating systems such as iOS and Android. Most app developers work as part of a team, or on their own depending on the project size. They also continue maintaining and updating the apps even after the app has been released. Most app developers work as part of a team or on their own, depending on the size of the project.
App developers are usually responsible for managing the entire project from start to finish. This means they are involved in the application design process, from allocating resources and budget, to overseeing the marketing and maintenance team. Unless there's already a project manager in your team, hiring an experienced developer can make a great difference in the workflow.
A typical app development project begins with a well-defined MVP (minimum viable product) and then coding begins based on the MVP documentation, which usually involves working with two or more programming languages. Once the app is ready to launch, the developers submit it to application stores, like Google Play or App Store, for review. Once approved, you will be able to see the app listed on the platforms. The app developers must provide support and updates on a regular basis.
This goes without saying that you can’t expect inexperienced developers to have the same skill sets as their more experienced peers.
If you're hiring an app developer for an entry-level position, you’ll come across developers with less than two years of experience on the job. As they gain experience and move up to mid-levels after 4–5 years of developing apps, they begin to take on more complex projects. A senior developer can handle even the most complex tasks, such as designing a scalable app from scratch and planning app discovery strategies. This means that you need to recognize the skill levels required to build the application you need.
Mastery of the programming languages, debugging, and cross-platform development tools imply technical competence – but a lot of app developers out there boast similar skill sets. It may be a good thing for employers, but it also means they have very little to set them apart. They can certainly build apps and implement monetization strategies, and likely nothing more.
We know that getting things done quickly, efficiently, and correctly the first time is what matters most to you. Hiring new developers is sometimes the right thing to do when the budget is tight, but are you sure that they are the best you can get? Is all the money for the hiring and wages well spent in the long run?
You want to get the most out of the resources you have, like all employers and businesses everywhere do. Cad Crowd doesn’t overlook anything that might add some additional points to candidates’ competence. In addition to the basic technical skills, our recruiters also consider at least the following two crucial aspects of app developers’ abilities:
