A good blockchain developer is driven by a sound belief of decentralization and many of them have very strong ideological belief on decentralizing everything from right from the Government to Corporation and Even to the society as a whole.

The understanding and principles of the decentralized technology are the structural frameworks that account for most of the blockchain breakthroughs.

It is always a good idea to discuss these concepts.

An average blockchain developer has been vetting the technology since its inception and has known the full details of the technology and its fine prints.

The economic principles behind launching the coins, setting up the exchanges etc should be very clear to the blockchain developer which makes them highly aware of the intricacies of business dealings.

It is good to do a little interview about the economic principles behind the blockchain technology.

A good blockchain developer is intellectually smart and highly curious by nature and has a passion for the technology. Most of the knowledge on Cryptography and other underlying technologies are new and many of them have been there for decades.

A good blockchain developer is always keen to learn about these technologies.

Blockchain has gained tremendous popularity due to the virtual currencies such as “Bitcoin”. Every developer who is interested in blockchain cannot stop themselves from talking about them and there is fundamentally nothing wrong about the bitcoins. The concept of anonymity of the blockchain has led to being an unlawful use of bitcoins by many.

This characteristics of the blockchain and bitcoin mean that the developer is highly interested in the technology with very strong opinions about anonymity, decentralization and open network for all.

The blockchain technology has been known for using some of the latest technologies available in the tech world. The developers of the blockchain are always looking for implementing and checking on the new technologies into their blockchain stack which always forces a good blockchain developer to be always aware of the new technological breakthroughs.

Also, the blockchain community is a well-knitted community and if someone has tested or is working on a new concept, then there is a good chance that others in the community are also aware of these upcoming technologies.

Due to the very high costs of a blockchain developer, it is always very important for an organization to understand their blockchain needs and to understand whether they need an expert in the field or a regular blockchain developer.

If you are going to start a practice around the blockchain or are trying to research a new approach on the blockchain, it is always advisable to either hire an expert or take service of an expert rather than hiring a regular blockchain developer to reduce the cost.

Once you are clear on your blockchain developer requirements, it is always good to go for innovative hiring strategies like developer forums, meets, online platforms like LinkedIn etc.. since the traditional modes of identifying, attracting and retaining talent won’t work.

Job Posting won't help and Recruiters many times have no idea on where and what to look for while hiring a blockchain developer.

You would often find them discussing the ideas on public forums like Reddit or in Meets and hackathons. When you do come across the right type of developer for you, chances are that they will be undertaking several different projects at the same time. This is how they work, contributing across a variety of missions, trying to achieve several different goals. Quite a few are likely running their own startups. Therefore, they won’t want to drop all their ongoing projects to come work for your company, so you’ll need to engage them in a way that resonates with their core belief systems as well as the needs of your project.

Make no mistake about it, finding and hiring great blockchain developers is not simple but it can be done.

Go to where the great blockchain devs hang out. Where they share, where they learn and contribute. Build a reputation for yourself in the ecosystem.

If you want to find a good developer, you need to look for them in their natural habitat. Because of the nature of blockchain development, many of them have multiple projects on the go and aren’t actively seeking out new work. That doesn’t mean that they won’t be intrigued if the right opportunity comes into their peripherals
