    Web technologies have evolved rapidly in recent years. The emergence of the latest web technologies has ensured that companies can easily maintain and update their online applications. User experiences can be tested and the tasks at hand can be prioritized. The SDL (Software Development Lifecycles) can be well defined using web technologies.  Today, we will discuss how to hire a junior web developer. 

    Hiring a junior web developer can be completed in the following sequential steps:

    Candidate profiling – A junior web developer position is usually filled in the industry from these three profiles – self-taught certified individual, a Bootcamp graduate, or a college degree holder. Proficiency in web technologies like Ruby on Rails, PHP, and SQL is a must when seeking candidate profiles. You have to make sure that you look for applicant profiles that have the most recent qualifications; this keeps the candidate’s skills relevant to the job role.

    Job title – As you approach to hire persons with little or no industry experience, you need to select suitable keywords. For example, the typical junior web developer job description should include the following keywords – web development, front-end, back-end, freelance, full-stack, etc. Make sure to use a suitable title that defines the job in as little words as well as is appealing to the applicants. Job title examples – Junior Web Developer, Entry Level Web Developer, etc.

    Job description – A job description for junior web developers should clearly mention the job’s roles, responsibilities & type of employment i.e. Are you hiring a full-time employee or freelance software developer? Your job description should also include web technologies like PHP, SQL, Ruby on rails, or even Python . Web technologies work in tandem with other applications, these skills are critical to the company’s smooth functioning. Keywords are critical when drafting the job description. They establish clear communication with the candidate regarding the job responsibilities and job requirements. Keywords also help connect with candidates who use web search to find job openings. A job description that has job responsibilities at the beginning, job requirements in the middle, and benefits at the end certainly stand out.

    Application review process – Going through the received resumes is definitely a process. You have to painstakingly identify people who will suit the role and be a good fit for the company culture. Although you do not expect to receive resumes with industry experience, however, extracurricular achievements highlight the candidate’s capabilities.

    Interview process – Depending on the number of applications for the junior web developer role, you may opt for a telephonic interview. A vocal interview helps the recruiter to seek clarifications on points mentioned on the resume. It also gives a certain level of confidence that the applicants are really willing to work and be part of the company culture. A written aptitude test can be a good idea to sort candidates before deploying resources towards the interview step. The objective of the interview is two-fold. First, to assess the skills of the candidate. Second, to check if the candidate is a suitable fit for the company. Questions assessing communication skills help identify persons who are comfortable talking to other departments within the company. Which is a requirement for the role of a junior web developer.

    Background check and offer letter – Background check will be conducted by a specialized third-party agency. Candidates should also be asked to bring in at least two references at the time of application. This helps in ascertaining and bolstering their suitable candidature. You may define the pay-type being hourly or monthly. The offer letter should include standard terms and conditions.

    As you bring the junior web developer or freelancer into your organization, make sure they settle well. It is critical to the smooth working of the company. The process of hiring needs to be continually revised and updated as per the demographics of candidates. This ensures that the company can get the best talent in the market.
