What interview techniques should you use to hire the best Spring developer?

After receiving applications from candidates, the next important step to hiring Spring developers is to thoroughly test their technical abilities. To hire the best Spring developers, here are two interview methods that you can try. 

Have the Spring developers describe their recent project

Ask the candidates to illustrate how their latest project was developed. With this question, employers can determine these two aspects:

1) Employers can identify if a candidate really does have the technical skills in their CV. In short, do they really walk the talk? Can the Spring developer candidate showcase his or her expertise by explaining key aspects of Spring development? Allowing them to discuss their project in detail will also give employers an idea of into how involved they are with the project.

2) Employers can also determine if a candidate possesses excellent communication skills. As with any kind of developer, a good Spring developer must have strong communication skills in order to effectively work with a team and with other members of the project. During the presentation, check if they can communicate their thoughts and explain technical concepts clearly. This would be an important ability to look for especially if you are looking to hire senior Spring developers who will lead your team.

Conduct technical exams

Unfortunately, not a lot of companies still do not implement technical exams when hiring developers. This comes as a surprise given that employers are assessing technical skills. When hiring Spring developers, it always recommended conducting a technical test before hiring developers. With technical exams, employers can gain valuable insight into a Spring developer’s true abilities. In turn, companies can significantly save on hiring costs and prevent the business from losing more costs over a bad hire.

For conducting technical exams, businesses may utilise a free or paid online programming test. If you want to hire the best Spring developers, assess not only a person’s knowledge and ability in Spring development but also their capability to solve issues.

If it’s not possible for your company to use an online technical exam, you may prepare your own exam according to your technical needs. To give you an idea of preparing for a Spring developers technical test, here are sample questions and answers you may see for reference.

Q: How do you add a bean to a Spring application? Write the code.

A:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN">
<beans>
<bean id="foo"/>
<bean id="bar"/>
</beans>

Q: In Spring MVC, explain when does one need the @ResponseBody annotation and write a sample code.

A: The annotation can be placed on a method to indicate that the return type should be written directly to the HTTP response body rather than being interpreted as a view name or placed in a Model.

For example:

@RequestMapping(path = "/hello", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
@ResponseBody
public String helloWorld() {
 return "Hello World";
}
