How to Hire an ASP.NET Developer - 3 Tactics to Choose From

Hiring ASP.NET developers in Ukraine comes with several winning opportunities we’ve briefly discussed. What’s more, there are three strategies to hire your remote developers. Let’s explore them. 

  1. Hire freelancers

For the startups that support the remote development approach and strive for cost-cutting, hiring freelance ASP.NET developers can be an option. There is a global talent pool to choose from, plus you can find developers with niche experience when searching globally. As one more benefit, you can hire several developers, mixing the programmers from Ukraine and other countries to embrace cultural diversity. 

On the other hand, too many choice options can lead to the harder candidate selection and significantly delay the beginning of the development process. Also, it is better not to expect your freelancers to be fully committed to your project only. Most of them are working on several projects at once, prioritizing those that are either higher-paying or putting forward more requirements. So, you have to develop a retention strategy as well. 

  1. Build R&D centers in Ukraine

For the projects striving for cost-cutting and accessing top expertise at once, an effective strategy is to hire ASP.NET developers for your research and development center based in Ukraine. It can be a winning tactic in the long run - in case you need a tech team to ongoingly develop your projects one by one. As for the benefits of this approach, R&D centers promise effective communication, transparency, and the ability of the team to quickly adapt to the market changes and development course tweaks. 

On the other hand, establishing an R&D center and hiring the development team in-house means additional costs for recruiting, onboarding, maintenance, compliance, along with taxes, salaries, and other operational expenses.

  1. Hire a dedicated team from an ASP.NET development company

As another option worth your attention, consider hiring ASP.NET developers from a software development vendor. This is the most effective strategy when it comes to balancing the costs, time to start the development, and the opportunity to access top tech talents from Ukraine.

There are also two different ways to partner with a development team vendor. As the first option, you can extend the tech team you already have in-house or in your R&D office. This is a winning idea if there is a need for extra help but no time to source new developers and test them. 

But when you want to get a ready-made team of ASP.NET developers, consider hiring them according to the dedicated development model. In this case, your remote team will be fully manageable and controllable by you, being dedicated to your project solely. 


But regardless of the strategy you choose for your project, you still have to interview your candidates to ensure the perfect match. Find out what interview questions you should ask to hire an ASP.NET developer in the most effective way.
