I'm looking to grow my development team because I can't handle everything myself anymore, especially when it comes to mobile development. I want to keep my focus on web development and managing the business part. I'd love to hear your suggestions on the best ways to recruit developers who can take some of this workload off my plate. Are there particular places, communities, or forums you recommend?

Finding reliable developers online has become quite tricky lately with all the scams out there. I suggest going back to traditional networking. Reach out to contacts from your career or attend local meetups and conferences to connect with potential hires. Sometimes the best talent is found through personal recommendations!
Good idea! I’ve attended a few meetups and met some awesome developers.
If you're focusing on freelancers, definitely check out Upwork. It's a popular platform where you can find experienced developers to help out. For more long-term needs, Facebook groups can be a good bet; you might find someone who fits your vision there.
Upwork is great for quick gigs but beware of the fees!
What specific Facebook groups do you recommend for developers? I could use that info!
It's really worth considering if you're looking for freelancers or full-time employees. Different platforms serve different needs, you know? If it’s a solid web app you’re working on, I might be able to help too!
That's true! Knowing what you need makes a big difference in where to look.
I agree, I've found success with both types of hires, but it depends on the project.
Totally! Networking can lead to some great long-term collaborations.
