How long does it take to hire a developer?

In-house hiring typically takes 45-60 days. With an agency like GWS, we can often deploy developers within 72 hours.

Should I hire freelancers or an agency?

Freelancers are great for one-off tasks. Agencies are better for long-term projects where you need accountability, reliability, and a full team (PM, QA, Dev).

What is the most important skill to look for?

Problem-solving. A developer who can bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation is invaluable.
