They were very flexible and accommodating to our sometimes rather unusual needs and circumstances. Unlike many other vendors I have experience with, they are very trusting and prepared to take risks for the sake of building a solid business relationship.

Questions you might have

What are the responsibilities of a mobile app developer?

The responsibility area of a mobile app developer varies based on the maturity of the company and the project specifications. Sometimes, developers can be hired for small challenges such as idea validation or tech stack selections. On the other end, the full-cycle development process presupposes that the developer takes over the whole range of tasks associated with designing, building, testing, and releasing the application.

    We have specified some common tasks of a mobile app developer below:
  • Supporting the entire application lifecycle.
  • Gathering project requirements
  • Strategizing and planning app development
  • Building interfaces based on design layouts
  • Ensuring correct linking of the backend and frontend
  • Troubleshooting issues during test cycles
  • Collaborating with other teams
Our mobile app developers can take over the whole app development process or supplement your in-house developer talent for specific tasks.

What should I think about before hiring a mobile app developer?

Before reaching out to a mobile developer team, you should have a clear understanding of your future product. To do that, you should first shape your vision based on the product-market fit, your target audience, and current competitors.

  • Identify and research your audience. Solid audience research will help you determine demographic data, user needs, problems, and expectations.
  • Validate the problem. Go beyond assumptions and check your hypothesis against real users. You interview a small group of potential users to polish your vision.
  • Validate the solution. Look into the closest competitors to identify the unique selling proposition of your application. A competitor audit will also help you point out core application features.
  • Include core functionality in your minimum viable product (MVP). An MVP will help you test your hypothesis and its features with real users and iterate on the feedback.
  • Add more exposure. Pre-launch marketing is a crucial step to ensure the success of your application. Build an application page, create an app press kit, and help your project gain initial traction on social media.
  • Set KPIs. Metrics will help you measure the impact of your solution and improve your application.
The lack of a well-defined roadmap is also a common reason for failure. Therefore, we recommend solidifying your project objectives and app requirements to chart out a consistent development process. If you are worried about your intellectual property and data leaks, ask your potential vendor to sign an NDA.
Both requirement gathering and planning are milestones of the discovery phase. During this stage, we also help you perform audience and market research to establish a broad image of the future solution, its functionality, and the project scope.

Where can I find a mobile app developer for hire?

There are three common hiring options when it comes to developer talent. These include freelancers, remote employees, and IT outsourcing companies.

Freelancers
This hiring option is great for small projects or individual tasks that do not require input from the whole mobile app development team. In this case, you pay a freelancer for the job done with no administrative burdens or obligations.
Upwork and Freelancer are among the top destinations for finding freelance developers. The freelance economy expands your talent pool and allows you to find the right specialist in mere hours.

    Pros of choosing freelancers:
  • Availability. Freelance talent offers you flexible and fast access to special expertise without a long hiring process.
  • Cost-effectiveness. You don’t need to hire freelance developers on your payroll. Taxes, benefits, and other employee-related expenses are on the freelancer.
  • Hiring flexibility. Engaging freelancers is the best option to meet a company’s varying requirements.
    Cons of choosing freelance developers:
  • Most freelancing portals do not have a rigorous screening process.
  • Potential data security issues are created by sharing access to mission-critical systems.
  • A sense of belonging is not generated at both ends.
Remote employees
This engagement model is suitable for projects of medium complexity and duration. In this case, you augment your existing team with a skilled employee.
To narrow down your search, consider platforms specializing in qualified app developers for hire. Remote.com, Hired, and YouTeam are among the most popular venues for finding remote contractors. These hiring platforms allow you to locate qualified candidates based on your requirements, and they can connect you with potential hires in mere days. YouTeam, for example, sources candidates from hiring agencies and runs a thorough screening to validate a developer’s skills.
    Pros of choosing to work with remote teams:
  • Remote hiring translates into lower costs as this model has fewer operational and employee expenses.
  • Wider candidate pool and access to niche skills.
  • Employees are deeply engaged in the process and are focused on delivering a high-quality project.
  • You have more control over the hires compared to freelancers.
    Cons of hiring a remote team:
  • You still need to take over the hurdles of hiring and managing the team.
  • Time zone gaps may impact communication within the team.
  • Remote employees can quit the project.
Outsourcing companies and agencies
For complex and long-term projects, we recommend considering a dedicated software outsourcing company or a mobile development agency. In this case, your project is handled by professional developers, with no hiring hassles or overhead costs. Moreover, this engagement option is great for full-cycle development. Orangesoft offers a ready-to-go team for hire, including mobile app developers, UI/UX designers, business analysts, project managers, and QA engineers.
    Pros of outsourcing:
  • Instant access to ready teams possessing the needed expertise.
  • A high-quality final product delivered by a team of experienced professionals.
  • Your outsourcing vendor takes over employee expenses, office rent, hardware, and other operating costs.
    Cons of outsourcing:
  • Team management can be challenging.
  • Time zone and cultural differences may impact the collaboration.

What are the criteria for the selection of the right mobile app developer for my project?

The sheer number of mobile app development projects makes it hard to land the right specialist. However, if you are well aware of your candidate's expectations, you’ll have a higher chance of hitting the spot. We’ve jotted down the main considerations below.

  • Your application type. What kind of a solution are you looking to build? Is it a simple or complex mobile app? What category does it fall into? Does it need innovative technologies such as AI, IoT, and others?
  • Skills. The set of technologies defines the expertise of your potential hires. Therefore, you should outline core project technology such as Swift, Kotlin, or any other programming language.
  • Budget. Although app development costs differ by project, you can ask a vendor to provide a ballpark estimation for your project. Keep in mind that development expenses should also include design, testing, project management, and other costs.
  • Deadline. Discuss the duration of your project and decide on the optimal timeline.
  • Experience. Make sure the team has hands-on experience in delivering similar projects. You can check a vendor’s portfolio and download the delivered apps to gauge the quality.
  • References. Testimonials and reviews speak louder than official websites. Cast about for references on Clutch and GoodFirms or connect with the vendors’ former clients.
  • Choose a vendor with a vision. A great developer doesn’t simply follow guidelines. They choose the right way to do it and suggest the right implementation approach.
  • Prioritize long-term collaboration. The app development lifecycle doesn’t stop after release in the app stores. After the launch, the app development team gathers user feedback, fixes issues, and introduces new features and improvements based on feedback.
  • Compatibility. A vendor should be on the same wavelength as your business strategy.

What does the hiring process of iOS and Android mobile app developers in your company look like?

At Orangesoft, we help companies augment their in-house teams or take over the end-to-end process of mobile app development. Based on your unique project needs, you can hire a solo developer from our company or let us build a mobile app from scratch. Here’s what our hiring process looks like:

  1. Analysis and requirement gathering. We first perform a thorough analysis of your project to identify the scope of work. At this stage, we also transform your business requirements into technical specs and assist you in performing any pre-planning activity, be it market analysis, user research, or technology stack selection.
  2. Interviewing and hiring. Following your project specs, our HR team selects the right developers with the corresponding experience and skills. We strive to fill the roles within a week. However, it sometimes takes longer than a week if we don’t have available talent on the bench. You validate each candidate in an interview. All obligations, terms, and conditions are documented in a vendor agreement.
  3. Onboarding. With 11 years of experience, we’ve come up with the perfect onboarding formula that helps us integrate the new hires into your business workflows and set up a regular and transparent communication flow.
  4. Development. We handle all the administrative tasks while you get dedicated developer talent under your control.

How much does it cost to hire a mobile app developer?

It varies. The hiring costs depend on a wide range of factors, including a team’s location, experience, and hiring model. On average, it will cost you around $100–$200 per hour to hire a mobile developer from the US, while Western Europe has lower rates of $80 per hour. India has the smallest remuneration of $20–$30 per hour. Poland seems to have an optimal price-value ratio and provides skilled developers at around $40–$90 per hour.
