Screening evaluates communication, technical depth, process experience, and domain knowledge. Onboarding timing depends on client requirements and candidate readiness.
How we evaluate candidates.
We value your time and your business. We understand that a poorly qualified candidate can be counterproductive and costly. Stellar follows the same rigorous evaluation process to identify and select only the most qualified candidates that we use when hiring our own staff for internal projects.
Technical skills
Candidates must describe their past experience and challenges in detail to seasoned professionals.
Process experience
Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of modern development practices and methodologies.
Domain knowledge
Candidates must demonstrate working knowledge of the relevant business domain.
Practical skills testing
Based on client requests, our professional development staff will measure practical skills offline or in real time. For software developers, we can present a problem statement and watch as a developer solves the problem in real time. We can also present a more complex problem to be solved offline and checked into GitHub for review. We find this type of test highly effective.
