What interview techniques should you use to hire the best WooCommerce developers?
When you hire the best WooCommerce developers, remember that you are there to have a good understanding of a candidate’s capabilities during the limited amount of time and not to intimidate candidates with difficult or puzzling questions. As such, here are a few recommended interview techniques and questions that hiring managers can do or ask to hire the best WooCommerce developers from the rest.
Ask to describe the structure of their recent project
Have candidates describe and discuss the most recent application or project they just finished. If possible, provide them also with a sheet of paper or a whiteboard to allow them to further illustrate their project. With this, recruiters or hiring managers can determine two things.
First, recruiters can immediately tell whether a WooCommerce developer does have a solid understanding of WooCommerce and software development in general. This question can also show what additional skills a candidate may possess such as good leadership skills. In addition, you can also see how involved or committed the candidate was with the project in terms of how they can discuss or elaborate project details.
Second, recruiters will know whether a candidate is able to explain a technical concept. Can the discussion be easily understood from a non-technical person point of view? Aside from this, it is also recommended to check on the candidate’s non-verbal cues when presenting such as a confident posture or gesture to assess if a candidate possesses good soft skills such as public speaking and adaptability. The ability to discuss technicalities to a non-tech person is a necessary skill to look for especially if you need to hire someone for a leadership role.
Conduct technical tests
Unfortunately, this is a process that is often overlooked by most companies when hiring WooCommerce developers. To thoroughly screen candidates, developers must pass a technical test to fully assess their technical skills. Recruiters may choose to give online programming tests that give employers insight into how a candidate thinks and works. When hiring WooCommerce developers, it is recommended to look for developers who not only know how to code but also know how to solve.
If it’s not possible to give an online technical test, recruiters may ask candidates to write a sample code instead. This can give recruiters an idea on the developer’s expertise of the framework or language with just an average of 5-10 lines of code (two or three sample codes).
Here are a few sample test questions that you can ask your candidate to code.
Q: WooCommerce allows the use of multiple hooks to simplify a customised website. If you were to show a shopping icon in front of WooCommerce-related page title, what filter will you use and how will the code look like?
A:
Filter:
Woocommerce_page_title
Code:
Function my_project_woocommerce_title_icon( $page_title ) {
Return '<i class=”fa fa-shopping-cart”></i> ' . $page_title;
}
add _filter( 'woocommerce_page_title', 'my_proejct_woocommerce_title_icon' );
Q: Can you write a sample code for your header.php file.
A:
<html>
<head>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.js'; ?>">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/jquery-ui.min.js'; ?>">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/bootstrap.js'; ?>">
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/css/bootstrap.css'; ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>">
</head>
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<div id="header" class="jumbotron">
<div class="header-logo"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri().'/logo.png'; ?>"> </div>

What is the dedicated hiring model?
With the Dedicated Hiring Model, both in-house and offshore teams can work and communicate during the same time. As a result, this reduces issues in communication on both teams and enables the offshore WooCommerce developer or team to be part of the in-house team’s infrastructure and methodologies.
Because of these benefits, it is considered one of the best engagement models. In-house teams can request additional offshore developers and other resources at any given time during the project’s development. As such, businesses can easily expand or reduce team members.
Pros
- This is highly recommended for long-term projects with no clear scope and requirements
- Despite the unclear project scope, the budget is still predictable.
- Clients can control and monitor the recruitment process and management of their offshore team
- Product quality can be ensured since clients can monitor and evaluate the application’s development
- The offshore WooCoommerce developer gains a deeper understanding of the in-house team’s goals and expectations
- The offshore developer or development team exclusively works for you
This model is recommended for businesses that:
- Prefer to work with a dedicated WooCommerce developer
- Prefer to cut down on costs especially with recruitment and hiring process
- Would need a scalable and adaptable offshore team during the project’s development
