What our customers say:

“I wish I had your blog back when I was starting out. Such a fantastic resource.” - Iván Corchado Ruiz, Organizer and Speaker, Swift Miami Meetup

“Just wanted to say THANK YOU again for helping us evaluate these iOS developers. We would be at a huge loss without your expertise, and I probably would have hired one of these guys by now if not for your coding challenge and code reviews. You’re really saving the day!” - Mikey Trafton, CTO, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

“We think we found the right guy, and your help was SUPER critical. The coding challenge you created, and more importantly your review of the candidates’ code, was awesome. I would probably have hired some of those people if you hadn’t have eliminated them. It’s surprising to me how many candidates with strong resumes failed on such a simple assignment.” - Mikey Trafton, CTO, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

“AJ and I also really appreciated you sitting in (and pretty much running) the in-person interviews. AJ told me your questions brought out great conversations and really highlighted the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. I especially liked your idea of having the candidates change something in their code - that’s a clever twist that I think we will continue to do going forward in other positions.” - Mikey Trafton, CTO, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

What's so Special about iOS Developers?

Hundreds of iOS Developers working on laptops at long tables

iOS Developers Have a Unique Skill Set

The iPhone is a child. It's only ten years old, yet iOS apps comprise a billion dollar market. Understandably, a sea of developers want to get involved. You've probably noticed that not all of them have the skill or experience you need. You need specialists to build a solid app in Swift or Objective-C.

Here's the thing

Danger lurks in the common data structure and algorithm approach to interviewing developers. The work of building an app requires a different set of skills from a web developer. iOS developers need to understand the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, ARC, GCD, the Objective-C runtime, Swift, Xcode, accessibility, App Store rules, Storyboards, and a mountain of other iOS-specific technologies.

There is a reason Apple's yearly Worldwide Developer's Conference lasts five full days: every year Apple unveils a flood of new technologies, new devices, and new best practices. Hiring someone on the basis of their algorithm skills and job history will lead you down the path of sorrow. Very smart developers have made ugly and crashy apps. You know they're not bad people; they don't have the specific knowledge necessary to build a world-class iOS app.

The truth is

Apps have changed our expectations around computing. Software from just three years ago now looks incredibly dated compared to what we have on iPhones and iPads today. Modern iOS devices have more computing power than many laptops. Small or newly established iOS development teams need developers who keep up with the industry, who can put that power to good use.
