The most common sites for finding freelance PHP developers include freelancer sites like Toptal, Fiverr, Upwork, and Github Jobs. These websites list a variety of application developers, PHP programmers, software development experts and freelance PHP developers who all offer their knowledge online.
PHP is undoubtedly the ubiquitous language on the internet today. Although it has been around for some time, it still has its strengths to dominate the web development space for years to come. Therefore, PHP remains the ultimate choice for any business that needs a robust, scalable and customizable website or application.
However, choosing the best from a large group is a daunting task, especially if you’re not an expert.
Another option worth trying would be to recruit companies to help you hire a good, experienced PHP developer at minimum cost.
The questions below will certainly help in assessing the professional readiness of the interviewee.
1. Avoid cliché questions
What is php
When did PHP first appear?
Who is the father of PHP?
Instead of performing this type of memory test, it's best to ask questions that will help you assess if the developer has the skills to meet your needs, such as:
How do I set cookies in PHP?
How do you encrypt your data with PHP?
What is your experience with web services?
These questions not only test the candidate’s technical skills, but also provide insight into their technical strengths.
2. Ask questions about past projects
You can do this by asking the candidate for a brief description of the projects he or she has worked on and the importance of his or her role.
Sometimes you pick up a portfolio, case studies and client brochures to gauge their true strengths and experiences in a project like yours. This will protect you from having to deal with project quality issues that may arise later in the development cycle.
3. Assess the existing knowledge base and learning skills
Given the speed of technology development, you need to invest in a resource that is not only proficient in implementing projects, but also able to keep up with the latest trends while acquiring new skills.
