16 Ways to Build a Better Dev Team

June 20, 2016—Sencha’s senior director of product management, Gautam Agrawal, advises what he calls a passive recruitment strategy that gives you a sense of who’s available before you have a position to fill. “Just as employees look for opportunities, employers should also create a program where they are networking with candidates that they would like to have to generate a pool of candidates that would help them to pick someone when they actually need them,” Agrawal says.

This network-before-you-need approach should also be coupled with ongoing evaluation and development of your primary talent pool: current staff. “Evaluate existing employees before putting out new postings in the job boards,” Agrawal says. “It’s important for morale and very efficient to identify existing talent in the company and promoting those individuals.”

You have technologies like Node that make it so easy to code the back end. And then there are front-ends like Sencha or any of the other ones that are out there.
