Alongside Pro Tip:

When it comes to hiring a Web Developer, it may not be as easy to craft a job posting as it is with other positions. Understanding the specific skill-sets required may not be as familiar to you as would be for other roles (such as in sales or customer service). It’s important to collaborate with the development team to craft an accurate job posting. Are you specifically hiring a front-end or back-end developer? Will this be a remote position? Will the web developer be working on continuously changing client projects, or full-time on one? By creating a detailed and realistic job posting, you’ll avoid surprises and hopefully reduce the chances of turnover.
