What interview techniques should you use to hire the best PrestaShop developers?
When you hire PrestaShop developers, keep in mind that your goal as a recruiter or hiring manager is to evaluate a candidate’s technical and soft skills and not to intimidate them with challenging questions. As such, here are recommended interview techniques and questions that employers can ask to hire the best PrestaShop developers.
Ask candidates to describe the structure of their recent project
Have the candidates discuss the most recent application or project they finished. If needed, candidates can also use a whiteboard or sheet of paper to further elaborate or illustrate their project. By asking candidates to do this, recruiters or hiring managers can determine two things:
First, you can quickly tell if the candidate at least has a solid understanding of web development or the PrestaShop platform. Recruiters can also see what other technical or soft skills a candidate might possess that is not included in their application form. In addition, having candidates explain their project will demonstrate how committed or involved they were during the project.
Second, you can check whether a candidate has the important ability to clearly communicate or explain a technical concept. Was the discussion discussed in a way that a non-technical person would be able to understand it? Aside from this, it is also recommended to check on the candidate’s non-verbal cues while presenting and try to notice if they possess ideal soft skills such as leadership and communication skills. The ability to explain technicalities to a non-tech person is a must-have trait especially if you are hiring for a senior role.
Conduct technical tests
Unfortunately, this is a process often overlooked by some companies when hiring developers. In order to thoroughly check a candidate’s abilities, recruiters must conduct a technical test wither using a free or paid online programming tests. In addition, conducting a test can give you an insight into the candidate’s critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. When you hire the best PrestaShop developers, look for someone who’s not only good at coding but also solving problems.
If you are unable to conduct a technical test, recruiters may instead ask candidates to write a sample code with 5-10 lines of code or 2-3 sample codes. This gives recruiters an idea on the developer’s expertise in his or her language or framework.
Here is a sample test question that you can ask your PrestaShop developer to code.
Q: Can you create a sample header.tpl file for the themes directory.
