What interview techniques should you use to hire the best Python developers?
After looking for Python developers for hire, a thorough screening process is the next best step to hire the best Python developers. Employer or hiring managers must take note, however, that the interviewing and testing process should not intimidate candidates, but rather assess if a candidate is right for the position. As such, here are a few recommended interview methods and questions that you can do to hire Python developers.
Ask the developer candidates to explain their recent project
Have the developers describe the recent project or application they were involved in. This will allow recruiters to determine two crucial aspects when hiring developers:
- Proven experience and expertiseThe exercise can show recruiters how knowledgeable and experienced a Python developer really is with the Python language, its different frameworks, and the web and software development. In addition, this will allow recruiters to discover skills that a candidate may have that is not written on their resume.
- Strong communication skillsCheck whether a candidate can clearly discuss technical concepts with ease. If it were discussed to a non-IT person, would they have understood it? As with any developer, good communication skills are necessary to effectively and efficiently work with a team. This skill is even more crucial if you are looking for a lead developer.
Conduct technical tests
Unfortunately, when businesses hire Python developers, many do not conduct technical tests on developer candidates. A practical exam can give employers insight into the candidate’s technical and problem-solving skills.
Companies can use a paid or free online coding test to conveniently check on the candidate’s technical abilities. When you hire the best Python developers, you should hire developers who are not only experts in their field but are also strong critical thinkers.
If a thorough technical test is not possible, recruiters may instead have candidates write sample codes instead. Two to three sample codes or 5-10 lines of code can already help recruiters assess the candidate’s knowledge and abilities.
To give you an example, here are quick sample tests that you can use when hiring Python developers.
Q: Define the term ‘monkey patching’ in Python. Give a sample code as well.
A: Monkey patch refers to the dynamic modifications of a class or module at run-time.
Sample code:
import m
def monkey_f(self):
print "monkey_f()"
m.MyClass.f = monkey_f
obj = m.MyClass()
obj.f()
Q: If I were to need a sorting algorithm for a numerical dataset, how would you write it in Python?
A:
list = ["1", "4", "0", "6", "9"]
list = [int(i) for i in list]
list.sort()
print (list)
Q: Using the Django framework, write a sample code on how to write a VIEW.
A:
from django.http import HttpResponse
import datetime
def Current_datetime(request):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
html = "<html><body>It is now %s</body></html>" % now
return HttpResponse(html)
