Why Do Startups Find Senior Developers Helpful?


BENGALURU: Find the right people and keep them motivated. Not all startups can function by just relying on the fresh talent—experience plays a major role; some startups are only keen on hiring senior developers and not juniors. Andrey Akselrod, Co-founder and CTO of Smartling, talks to Forbes about how hiring senior level makes a difference in the firm. He has been selective at building his international team of developers. Akselrod has 60 developers working for him, and none of them are straight out of school. He believes in experience along with expertise. Here is why:

For any startup the chances that it might fail initially are high. So it is better to be selective when it comes to recruiting employees. Life is hard in a startup, decision making is one of the biggest challenges it poses. Any single internal reform hurts the entire organization.

Akselrod’s Smartling is one among the fastest growing startups in the Silicon Alley,. With the help of the experienced personnel, Akselrod is able to rapidly deploy new features. He won’t compromise on the experience of his hires, even if they’re more expensive.
