Java Hiring Guide – How to find and hire Java Developers?

Finding the right candidates to fill your Java developer vacancy can be a challenging process that requires proper strategical planning and execution. Here is the ultimate hiring guide you can refer to when you are looking to hire Java developers for your next venture –

Critical Aspects to Keep in Mind before Finding Java Developers

Before you step out to find Java programmers for your project, you should prep a little to have a better opportunity of finding the right talent(s) effectively and in shorter duration. It helps having clarity about –

  1. What are your Project Goals and Objectives?
  2. What is the role of the Java Developer you want to hire in achieving those goals?
  3. Do you need any specific integrations? Ecommerce, Social Logins or others?
  4. Is your project complex? Will it require a small team of entry-level Java developers or a dedicated team of experienced Java programmers?
  5. How much can you invest in this project? Do you have any time constraints?
  6. What is the engagement model you want to hire them for? Part Time, Hourly, Full-Time?

How to Find and Hire Professional Java Developers?

One you have your (PRD) Project Requirements Document ready, you should focus on where you can find professional Java developers at. There are multiple ways you can search for Java developers online and offline. Some of them are -

  1. Attend Local and International Java Developer Conferences.
  2. Make use of professional networking platforms like LinkedIn & Twitter (Presently known as X).
  3. Freelancing websites such as Upwork, Freelancer and Flexiple.
  4. Find remote Java Development Companies online.
  5. Search for offshore, remote and other such keywords.

How to check a Java Developer’s Technical Expertise?

Java has been around since ages, and it has undergone several transformative changes in this duration. When looking for Java Developers, you need to assess their fundamental concepts of Java as well as knowledge about latest Java frameworks, libraries, rules, coding best practices, security setup and other such important aspect. Here are some key technical skills to look for when hiring Java developers –

  1. Make them participate in popular coding platforms like HackerRank, LeetCode or Code Signal.
  2. Provide real-word scenarios and assess their problem-solving capabilities.
  3. Request for their code samples or ask them to solve a basic Java problem during interview.
  4. Ask questions about searching, sorting, trees, linked lists and other such fundamental concepts.
  5. Check their knowledge regarding Java testing frameworks such as JUnit and Mockito for Unit Testing, Spring Boot Test for integration testing & other test-driven practices.
  6. Ask questions about their experience and knowledge using Java development tools, frameworks and libraries such as Spring Framework, Maven/Gradle, Java EE & more.
  7. Ask questions about Java Collections Framework, Exception Handling, Multithreading, Synchronization and JVM internals.
  8. Ask questions about implementation of a binary search algorithm, reversed linked list and other such concepts in Java.

How to assess a Java Developer’s Interpersonal and Communication Skills?

Next, it is also important to check the communication and team skills of the Java developers you are screening to join your team. Here are some effective ways to assess their communication skills –

  1. Ask them about their past experiences working with a team. Try to gauge their ability to solve conflicts with peers and come up with innovative solutions.
  2. Pay attention to how they explain the technical concepts. If they can articulate and explain it well, their fundamentals would be clearer than ones who can’t.
  3. Inquire about their experience working in Agile and Scrum work environments.
  4. Observe their ability to actively listen through their responses or doubts.
  5. Request them to show any code samples they have developed for past projects.
  6. Ask them if they have any client handling/interaction experience.

How to gauge a Java Developer’s cultural alignment?

Cultural alignment, or cultural fitness is as important as the developers technical and interpersonal skills. If the talent isn’t a right fit as per your company’s working culture, it is likely to cause riffs, arguments and delayed project deliverables. Hence it is important to know their cultural believes before making them an offer. Here is how you can test Java developers’ cultural alignment –

  1. Define your work culture, company’s values and mission so they have a clear understanding of your expectations.
  2. Mention such traits as collaboration, innovation, team player and other keywords in your job description.
  3. Pose a hypothetical situation that tests their decision making and emotional intelligence based on their choices.
  4. Ask them about their experience with company traditions or rituals.
  5. Assess their ability to adapt to different working environments if they have worked at multiple companies.
  6. Get feedback from their references or other ex-team members.

How to make an effective and appealing offer to the Java Developer(s)?

Everything checked out so far? Great! Now you need to also make sure the developer takes interests in your offer! To do so, you need to strategize how to approach them while making your offer that holds their interest but at the same time doesn’t cost you a fortune beyond your comfort budget range. Here’s how you could go further with negotiations –

  1. Learn the market pulse
  2. Always learn from market. Check the prices offered for the role you’re screening them for. For instance, you are looking for Java Architects, check the average annual salary or hourly rates they are been offered through studies, job portals and other credible sources.

  3. Internal Equity
  4. Self-assessment is just as necessary. Check what you’re offering to other developers in the same league as the candidate you’re looking to hire. Refer to their salary negotiation structures to be better prepared for negotiations.

  5. Comprehensive Benefits
  6. Build a proper salary package with non-monetary benefits included such as health insurance, dental and vision coverage, retirement plans, planned leaves and other such perks your company can afford to offer.

  7. Challenging Projects
  8. Provide them with a glimpse of some challenging projects they will get to be a part of. Make sure to showcase your commitment to experimenting and using latest Java developer tools.

  9. Recognition and Rewards
  10. If your company has policies for employee recognition rewards, bonuses or any such programs, highlighting them will give you an edge in further negotiations.

  11. Work-Life Balance
  12. Discuss how your company approaches work-life balance and how much does it value it. Employees look for companies that understand the importance of work-life balance.

How to onboard and integrate Java Developer in your Dedicated Development Team?

Once every other process is out of the way, you should focus on effectively onboarding the Java developer/developers in your team. Here are some good practices you can follow for doing so -

  1. Send a proper welcome package with company documents, technology stack, and some goodies
  2. Setup the hardware and software needed for the developer to carry out their tasks prior to their arrival
  3. Assign a buddy/mentor that would help them navigate the company’s processes, work environment and projects
  4. Start by giving them responsibility for certain tasks
  5. Acknowledge their inputs and appreciate valuable ones
  6. Point of areas of improvements and see how they respond to criticism

Hire Java Developer - Interview Questions

Why is Java a platform independent language?

Java is considered as a platform independent language because it makes use of JVM – Java Virtual Machine that abstracts the underlying hardware and operating system. By translating the platform independent Java bytecode into machine-specific code, Java programs are able to run on any platform that supports JVM. Hence Java programs are able to run on almost any platforms without needing much intervention from the developer to modify the Java codebase to work on a platform.

This concept is known as decoupling the language from the hardware and OS. Most languages compile directly to machine code, whereas Java compiles to an intermediate format known as bytecode which can be executed on any platform through JVM. This enables Java to be a ‘Write Once, Run Anywhere’ library, which makes it a truly platform independent language.

Why is Java not a pure object-oriented language?

The reason Java cannot be called a pure object-oriented language is that it supports primitive data types like int, byte, long and more which are not objects. Java mixes objects and primitive data types, meaning not everything in Java is an object. This goes against the qualities of pure object-oriented language.

Additionally, Java has features like static fields and methods that can be used without having to create any instance of a class. This defies the principle of encapsulating data and behavior within objects, which is an essential part of object-oriented programming.

Even if Java is not a pure object-oriented programming language, it still provides impressive support for OOPs, making it ideal for developing large-scale applications.

Difference between Heap and Stack Memory in java. And how java utilizes this.

Stack and Heap Stack Memory are two types of memory used by Java programs during execution. Both are useful towards establishing a proper memory management system in place and avoiding memory leaks or inefficient resource utilization.

Stack memory is where the data is stored temporarily whereas Heap memory is used for dynamic memory allocation. It is a pool of available memory that is used by the program, and it can grow or shrink as per memory allocation and freeing.

Stack and Heap Memory in Java differ in terms of –

Aspect Stack Memory Heap Memory
Size Management Fixed Size, Determined at the initializing stage of execution Flexible size, changes during the program’s lifecycle
Storage Purpose Control info, local variables, function arguments Objects, Data Structures with dynamic lifespans
Data Accessibility Only accessible during active function call Accessible until Java developer manually deallocates it or the program ends
Memory Management Automatically managed Manually managed by the Java programmer
Localization Near the CPU, better access times Further away, slower access times
Garbage Collection Not required Requires garbage collection for avoiding memory leaks
Lifetime Limited to the scope of a function Dynamic, can exist beyond the scope of a function

What are the default values assigned to variables and instances in Java?

In Java, variable and instances of classes get assigned default values when not explicitly initialized. The default value would depend on the type of variable. Here are some default values for common data types in Java –

Numeric Types:

  • ‘byte’ , ‘short’, ‘int’, ‘long’:O
  • ‘float’ , ‘doube’:O.O

Character Types

  • char ‘ :\u0000’ (null characters)

Boolean Types

  • ‘boolean’: ‘flase’

Object References

  • For objects (instances of classes): ‘null’

These are the default values that get automatically assigned by Java runtime system when you declare a variable without explicitly initializing it. Local variables need to be explicitly initialized before they are used or the code could run in a compilation error.

Difference between static methods, static variables, and static classes in java.

Java makes use of the word ‘static’ for defining class elements rather than class instances. Static keywords can be utilized with classes, methods, variables and also blocks. By making a member static, it can be accessed without ever needing to create a class.

A static variable will be a class-level variable that has only a single copy and gets shared by all class instances. When you modify static variable by one object, it gets reflected in all others. This is useful for sharing data between multiple class instances.

Static method refers to a method that belongs to the class and not the object. You aren’t required to call an object and it isn’t able to access non-static variables/methods.

And a Static Class is a class in Java that cannot be instantiated and all its members are static. Such a class refers to a collection of static methods and variables.

Quick Tabular Comparison b/w Static Method, Static Variables and Static Classes

Feature Static Method Static Variable Static Classes
Purpose Defines behavior related to the given class Store data shared by all instance of a class Grouping related functionality, never instantiated
Access Can only access static data members and static methods Able to access both instances and static data members Static classes cannot be instantiated
Memory Allocation Fixed in the RAM, single allocation Dynamic, allocated as per instance Static classes cannot be instantiated
This Keyword Can’t use Can use Static classes cannot be instantiated
Access Modifiers Can use public, private, internal, protected modifiers Can use public, protected and private modifiers Static classes cannot be instantiated

Can the static methods be overridden?

No, you cannot override a static method in Java. The concept of overriding in Java applies to instance methods and not static methods. It is used for situations where a subclass wants to provide a different implementation for a method then the one already provided by its superclass.

Static methods are not polymorphic in nature. Hence, if a subclass defines a method with the same signature as the static method in its superclass, it is not considered an override. It becomes a new static method with the same name.

The subclass can access the static method of its superclass by using the keyword super.

Difference between overloading and overriding in Java

Method Overloading allows Java developers to define multiple methods within a single class with the same name. But each overloaded method needs to have different number or type of parameters. This is useful as you can use the same method name to perform various tasks as per the parameters provided.

public class OverloadingExample {
// Method overloading with different number of parameters public int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public int sum(int a, int b, int c) { return a + b + c; } // Method overloading with different types of parameters public double sum(double a, double b) { return a + b; } public static void main(String[] args) { OverloadingExample example = new OverloadingExample(); System.out.println("Sum of 3 and 5: " + example.sum(3, 5)); System.out.println("Sum of 3, 5, and 7: " + example.sum(3, 5, 7)); System.out.println("Sum of 3.5 and 5.5: " + example.sum(3.5, 5.5)); } }

Method Overriding is used for achieving runtime polymorphism. Poly in Polymorphism means “many” and “morphs” refers to “multiple forms”. Hence, polymorphism in Java allows developers to use a child class object instead of a parent class object. For overriding a method in Java, the child class needs to define a method with the same name, return type and parameters of that of parent class method. The child class method also needs to contain the ‘override’ keyword.

class Parent {
    void show()
    {
        System.out.println("parent class method");
        }
        class Child extends Parent {
            void show()
            {
                super.show();
                System.out.println("child class method");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
    Parent ob = new Child();
    ob.show();
}
}

When can you use super keyword?

We use the ‘super’ keyword in Java for calling methods or constructors in a superclass or for accessing members of a superclass that are hidden by members in a subclass. Here are the three use cases where we would use the ‘super’ keyword –

Calling a method in the superclass:

Here we can use the ‘super’ keyword to call a method in the superclass from the subclass.

public class Birds {
    void makeSound() {
        System.out.println("The birds makes a sound");
    }
}
public class Kingfisher extends Birds {
    void makeSound() {
        super.makeSound(); // Call the makeSound() method in the Birds class
        System.out.println("The kingfisher makes a kik-kik sound");
    }
}

As you can see, the ‘Kingfisher’ class extends the ‘Birds’ class. The ‘Birds’ class overrid the ‘makeSound()’ method from the ‘Birds’ class. Inside the overridden ‘makeSound()’ method in the ‘Birds’ class, the ‘super.makeSound()’ statement calls the ‘makeSound()’ method. This first executes the ‘makeSound() method in ‘Birds’ class and later executes the rest of the code in the ‘Kingfisher’ class.

Hence, when you create the ‘bird’ object and call the ‘makeSound()’ method, you will get the following output:

The bird makes a sound.
The Kingfisher makes a kik-kik sound.

Calling a constructor in the superclass

Here we will use the ‘super’ keyword to call a constructor in the superclass from the subclass.

public class Birds {
    private String name;
    public Birds(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
public class Kingfisher extends Birds {
    private int age;
    public Kingfisher(String name, int age) {
        super(name); // Call the constructor in the Birds class
        this.age = age;
    }
}

In this example, ‘Kingfisher’ class extends to ‘Birds’ class. The ‘Birds’ class uses a constructor that takes two parameters – ‘String’ and ‘int’. Inside the ‘Birds’ constructor, the ‘super(name)’ statement is used for calling the constructor in the ‘Birds’ class. So, when a ‘Kingfisher’ object is created, it executes the constructor ‘Birds’ class and then executes the remainder of the code in the ‘Kingfisher’ constructor.

Accessing a hidden member in the superclass:

In this instance, we will use the ‘super’ keyword for accessing a member of the superclass that is hidden by a member of the subclass.

public class Birds {
    protected String name;
    public Birds(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
public class Kingfisher extends Birds {
    private String name;
    public Kingfisher(String name) {
        super(name); // Call the constructor in the Birds class
        this.name = name;
    }
    public void displayName() {
        System.out.println("Name of the Kingfisher: " + this.name);
        System.out.println("Name of the birds: " + super.name);

Here the ‘Kingfisher’ class extends the ‘Birds’ class. The ‘Kingfisher’ class uses a private ‘name’ variable to hide the ‘protected name’ variable in the ‘Birds’ class.

Inside the ‘displayName()’ method the ‘Kingfisher’ class has ‘this.name’ statement that is used for accessing the ‘name’ variable in ‘Kingisher’ class and the ‘super.name’ statement is being used for accessing the ‘name’ variable in the ‘Birds’ class.

Define Copy constructor in java.

Copy constructor in Java refers to a constructor used for initializing an object via another object of the same class. The changes made to the existing object won’t affect the new copy.

What are shallow copy and deep copy in java?

When we copy some entity for creating two or more entities in a way that the changes in one entity reflects in the other entity as well, it is called a shallow copy. Since the changes are reflected and mimicked on all shallow copied entities, new memory allocation never happens for the other entities. Only the reference of that entity is copied to the other entities.

On the other hand, Deep copy is when we copy some entity to create two or more entities in a manner that changes made to one entity doesn’t reflect in other entities. Since the reference of one entity doesn’t get copied to the other, each entity has its independent reference. Also new memory allocation takes place for each deep copy entity.

How java supports inheritance?

Java supports inheritance which is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a parent object. It is an important aspect of the Object-Oriented Programming System. The purpose behind inheritance is to create new classes built upon existing classes. This allows reusing the methods and fields of the parent class while adding more fields in the current class if needed. Java supports multiple types of inheritance such as

Single Inheritance –

when a derived class or a subclass inherits from a single base or superclass.

Multi-level Inheritance –

this is a situation where there is more than one level where the class inherits from a base class and this derived class in then inherited by another class.

Multiple Inheritance –

this is a type of inheritance where a class is able to inherit properties and behavior from more than a single parent.

Hierarchal Inheritance –

this type of inheritance creates a sense of hierarchy where a super class is inherited by more than one class.

Hybrid Inheritance –

when you combine one or more types of inheritance, it is called hybrid inheritance.

What is Java Singleton?

Singleton is an important design pattern in Java. Its purpose is to ensure that a class should only be allowed to have one object. The class needs to ensure that only a single instance should be created and single object is allowed to be used by all other classes. There are two types of Java Singleton patterns – Early Instantiation and Lazy Instantiation. Singleton Pattern is mainly used for multi-threaded or database-driven applications.

What is Servlet?

Servlet is a Java class that manages, processes and replies to requests with responses. It is used for extending the capabilities of servers that host applications that are accessed via request-response style of programming. Servlets are most commonly used for building web apps and provide a solution to create dynamic content on the web server and interact with client requests.

What is Beans?

JavaBeans is a design pattern that comes with a set of conventions for building reusable and modular components. They represent data in object-oriented manner and are commonly used in GUI development.

Explain the difference between Multiprocessing vs Multithreading in Java.

Multiprocessing as the name suggests, refers to multiple processes running independently with their own allotted memory space. They don’t share memory and any communication between them is achieved through inter-process communication mechanisms.

Multithreading on the other hand runs multiple threads within the same process, sharing memory space. Since these threads are within the same process and they share memory, they are able to communicate much more efficiently with each other.

What are access modifiers in java?

Access modifiers in Java are keywords which specify the accessibility and visibility of classes, methods, variables and other components of a Java program. They are mainly used for controlling the level of encapsulation and restricting access to certain components of a class.

There are four major access modifiers in Java –

  • Public : Public declared classes are accessible by another class. They have no access restrictions.
  • Private : Private declared classes are only accessible only within the same class. Other classes can’t see them even if they are in the same package. Private classes provide high level of encapsulation.
  • Protected : Members declared as protected are accessible within the same class and other class in the same package and subclasses. Protected classes provide limited level of visibility.
  • Default : If no access modifier is applied, Java takes the package-private method which makes the member accessible within the same class and other class in the same package. It restricts access from classes outside the package.
