Finding and retaining the right .NET developers
We keep seeing that young .NET professionals are well trained at university colleges. Still, it is often hard to predict how they will perform in a real work environment. Is there a match with the team? Does the technology appeal to them? How do they handle pressure? That is where dotNET academy's consultative hiring process helps. The try & hire model enables companies to temporarily deploy talented junior developers before making a permanent appointment. That minimizes the risk of a wrong hire.
Below, we explain why our consultative hiring process is a strong solution for hiring junior developers.
1. Reduce hiring risk
Junior developers are usually motivated and eager to learn, but because of their limited experience it is difficult to estimate their full potential during an interview. The Try & Hire model gives you the opportunity to evaluate them in practice. You can discover whether they are technically suitable, but also how they collaborate within the team and handle feedback.
2. Stimulate growth and development
Junior developers often choose companies that invest in intensive guidance and training to develop further. Our junior developers start a masterclass within dotNET academy to grow into professional developers. SOLID principles, architectures and test-driven development are some of the topics coached by dotNET lab domain experts and senior developers. This gives the junior developer the opportunity to grow into a professional inside your company, while you as an employer can decide whether the investment is sustainable in the long term.
3. Test the cultural match
A good cultural fit is essential, especially for junior developers who are still building their career. With Try & Hire, you can test that match in a real work environment. You can observe how the developer integrates into the team, deals with the company culture and adapts to the work environment. This helps you decide whether they can become a valuable long-term addition to your company.
4. Faster integration into your team
Because junior developers already get to know your company processes, colleagues and way of working during their Try & Hire period, they are ready to contribute immediately after a possible permanent appointment. That creates a smooth transition into a permanent role and helps them become productive quickly within the team.
5. Save time and costs
Recruiting new employees can cost a lot of time and money, especially when it involves junior talent that still needs training. In our dotNET academy masterclass, we observe talent on hard and soft skills. Our matching process creates the right fit with your company. Thanks to our try & hire consultative model, 90% of our developers move into permanent employment after one year.
6. Build long-term success
With the right guidance, junior developers can grow into valuable, experienced employees within your company. Try & Hire makes it possible to discover their potential without taking unnecessary risk. In that way, you can build a sustainable collaboration that benefits both the developer and your company in the long term.
