What interview techniques should you use to hire the best SharePoint developers?

The next step to hiring developers is to evaluate the technical skills and knowledge of a candidate. To hire the best SharePoint developers, here are a few interview techniques that you can implement.

Have candidates explain their most recent project

Ask the candidates to illustrate the latest software or project they completed. By having them do this, managers or employers can identify two things when hiring developers:

First, this exercise allows recruiters or hiring managers to see the level of knowledge and experience that a candidate might possess. This will also help recruiters to discover skills that may not have been written on their resume.

Second, this exercise allows recruiters or hiring managers to see whether a candidate possess good communication skills which are important to working at a team environment. During the discussion, check whether the candidate is able to clearly explain technical concepts and processes as if a non-IT person would understand it. Communication skills are especially important if you are looking to hire senior or lead SharePoint developers.

Conduct technical exams

When hiring SharePoint developers, plenty of companies, surprisingly, do not conduct technical exams. Without conducting an exam, recruiters or employers can not thoroughly assess whether a candidate is a right fit for the position they are trying to fill.

Companies may use online coding tests for free or for a price or even develop their own test to accurately check on the candidate’s technical knowledge and abilities. When you hire the best SharePoint developers, you should not only hire someone who is well-versed in SharePoint development, but one should also hire someone who has strong analytical and critical thinking skills.

If conducting technical exams are not possible, having candidates write two to three sample codes, or around 5-10 lines of code, would already be ideal. This will be enough to give an insight into a developer’s knowledge of SharePoint development as well as their thinking skills.

To give you an idea on how to conduct a test, here are a few sample tests that you can take as a reference to help you hire the best SharePoint developers.

Q: How do you get a reference to a site? Write the appropriate code.

A:

< view plain text >
SPSite = new  SPSite(“http:/server”);
SPWeb = SPSite.OpenWeb();

Q: Write the necessary code to connect to a SharePoint list. In addition, how would you insert a new list item?

A:

< view plain text >
using(SPSite mySite = new SPSite(“yourserver”))
{
using(SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
SPList interview List = myWeb.Lists[“list insert”];
SPListItem newItem = interview List.Items.Add();
newItem[“interview”] = “interview”;
newItem.Update();
}
}
