FAQ about hiring Smarty developers

Where can I find Smarty developers?

Smarty developers are usually part of the larger PHP dev community. Look on websites like Indeed or Dice that list jobs, and make sure to include keywords like “Smarty”, “PHP templating”, or “PHP Development”. Another good way to find them is by participating in online forums for PHP people or going through resources just about Smarty.

If those solutions don’t pan out (or sound like too much work), you can rely on sites like Lemon.io to simplify the entire hiring process. We have already pre-vetted the software engineers and led a talent pool of over 50 countries in different time zones.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring Smarty developers on Lemon.io?

Lemon.io knows how hard it is to find a good programmer; that is why we offer everyone a no-risk trial of up to 20 hours (paid) with Smarty specialists. During this paid time you will get a taste of their abilities through collaboratively working on relevant, genuine project tasks.

We also have a replacement guarantee: If, at any point, it turns out expectations weren’t met, Lemon.io helps quickly find someone new – providing true peace of mind during your hunt to get that perfect match for a coder. Usually, there is no need for this option because all the software engineers have already shown their seniority level, but if anything happens – we promise to solve the issues.

Is there a high demand for Smarty developers?

Smarty might not be a popular templating language anymore, but companies that depend on PHP and use Smarty keep needing professionals. You will find Smarty in all places where businesses have kept older projects made with this framework or a legacy PHP-based system.

These organizations often hire developers familiar with Smarty’s functionality as updating these applications is easier than replacing everything; so any business specializing in CMS & e-commerce needs those talents (because old systems are still sometimes relevant within those sectors).

How quickly can I hire a Smarty developer through Lemon.io?

When your project requires unique expertise, such as using a technology like the Smarty templating engine, Lemon.io understands the urgency. That’s why you can usually review curated, highly qualified engineer profiles within 48 hours of initially contacting us. From that point, it’s in your hands! Further discussions and testing, if needed, could take a few more days, though most clients we work with can typically have their perfect candidate in under a short period of time.

What are the main strengths of Lemon.io’s platform?

In the event of any issue, Lemon.io replaces developers very quickly to make sure your project is not affected.

After sifting through countless applicants from 50+ countries, we have built a large talent pool of hundreds of Smarty template skills screened in PHP.

We have a manual vetting process where our team of developers conducts technical interviews and, additionally, Coderbyte-based tests focused on PHP to provide you with the best of the best.

What is the vetting process for developers at Lemon.io?

Lemon.io evaluates Smarty devs end-to-end:

1. Candidates submit profiles detailing their experience working with Smarty, other templating engines (esp. in PHP), front-end experience, and knowledge of relevant development processes while demonstrating they have good communication through their English-speaking proficiency.
2. Recruiters thoroughly scrutinize the details shared on submitted CVs & cross reference these claims using websites like LinkedIn; if their skills don’t match, the process ends here.
3. The next step is a screening call. At this stage, developers take an assessment that is specifically tailored to measure how deep their understanding of Smarty using a service like Coderbyte.
4. All shortlisted individuals move forward to the last step, where a trusted tech interviewer from Lemon.io takes them through the interview; this may involve code challenges to solve or be more about discussing actual projects built previously.

How can your business benefit from hiring a Smarty developer?

Companies building PHP-driven web solutions will find immense value by having Smarty expertise at hand. Smarty specialists are fluent in the nuances of this language — they efficiently maintain PHP code, producing a well-structured, visually consistent website experience (while improving performance).

Any company working on a PHP project would greatly benefit from Smarty developers. In this list, we can easily see custom e-commerce websites, social media applications, or even bespoke CMS software.
