How to Hire a Kotlin Developer?

Picking out the right developer isn't an easy task, no matter what technology stack you're using. Some developers fit perfectly into their roles, while others don't work out at all. Whatever your criteria are, choosing a Kotlin developer can be difficult if you don't know where to start. This guide will help you figure out what you want in your Kotlin developer and how to evaluate candidates to make sure they're the right fit for your needs and requirements as well as culture and business goals.


1) What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is an open-source programming language that was designed by JetBrains, who also made IntelliJ and Android Studio. It first appeared in 2011 and has been climbing in popularity since its initial release.


2) Why use Kotlin?

If you’re looking for a new hire, consider finding someone who knows how to use Kotlin. While it’s been around since 2011, it only recently made its way into Android app development. That means that many developers might not be familiar with it—or may have taken some time off. The upshot? If you can find someone who knows how to work with Kotlin in your area, they might be more valuable than most of their competitors.


3) Where can I find a good Kotlin dev?

You can’t go wrong with a freelancer. Upwork has plenty of options, but there are also some solid dedicated shops on Elance and Guru—I used one of them for some recent work, and they did great. You can also try Behance (just search for Kotlin or Kotlin dev), as well as Dribbble. If you have any specific questions about hiring, feel free to leave them in comments below!


4) Can you recommend anyone?

Yes, we have several great developers on our team. I recommend contacting George for more information about our development process. If you would like to schedule a consultation with one of our developers, please let me know and I will set it up for you.
