Is anyone else struggling to hire Laravel devs lately? I’ve been trying to get some backend help for my SaaS project, but it feels like everyone’s either too busy or unavailable. Laravel seemed like a great choice during the pandemic, but now I’m second-guessing whether I should stick with it. What are you guys doing to find good people, or is it just a bad time right now?
Man, I was in the same boat not long ago. I ended up getting connected with one of the top it staffing agencies in the USA, and they totally saved me. They found me some great Laravel developers, but I had to look outside the US to make it work. Places like Poland and Ukraine have amazing talent, and with remote work, you can easily manage it all.
Yep, finding local Laravel talent has been rough for us too. My company switched to Laravel in 2020, and back then it was easier to find devs. But lately, it’s been slim pickings. We’ve had to shift to hiring internationally. We found a couple of excellent developers from Romania, and honestly, the quality hasn’t dropped at all. Remote teams are the way to go if you want to stay on top of it.
The company’s approach to project management is crucial. Clear, consistent communication is key to keeping projects on track and ensuring expectations align. Choose a company that offers transparent reporting, regular updates, and uses agile methodologies, which provide flexibility to make adjustments throughout the development process.
Make sure the business can adjust to your changing needs. As your company expands, a strong IT partner should be able to change project parameters or scale up services. Being adaptable to unanticipated events is also essential. If the project requirements change, look for a team that can shift course and provide flexible solutions.
