1. Scientific Strategy for Hiring Best Drupal Developers
There is hardly any other content management system as vast and as
resourceful as Drupal. Although various others, like WordPress and Joomla
try to match up to the high standards set by Drupal, but let us be honest
here, we all know there is no match to capabilities provided by the said
CMS system to the website. As vast as the system is, it gets a bit tricky to
hire Drupal Developers who can do justice to the capabilities provided by
this platform and actually turn up with a web application that makes the
best of its potential and renders high end results to the website owners. If
you have been perturbed with the same and are looking for a new age and
unique way of hiring the developers, we are here to help you with the
same. The principle that we are going to share is drawn both from the
books of management and from a deeper understanding of the world of
offshore Drupal development. Please go through the same and we are
optimistic that it will significantly bridge the gap between you and the
developer of your choice.
Understand your project
The primary thing that you must start with is to understand the
requirements of your project. Drupal often is the best choice for a large
scale and extensive website; however if you require a simple website and
blog, perhaps WordPress would be the right choice for you. If you think
your project demands for a lot of customization – custom design and

2. custom modules, you might be better off with PHP development instead of
extensive and deep rooted Drupal customization, which might just end up
costing you a bomb, even though it is an open source platform. Thus, prior
to beginning the hiring process, please take a toll of your project and
understand what is it exactly that you require?
And if you feel you are really not the best judge to decide the same, you
may opt for consulting services. Mostly, any offshore Drupal
development center would be interested in providing free consultation.
You may just have a word with a handful of them and then rationalize and
decide. Or you may just find someone with technical expertise and have
him to guide you in the process.
Define the skill set
Once you have got an idea what all your project may require, define a skill
set that you would like the developers to possess in order to give the
definite dimensions to your project and manifest it into reality. Again, you
would have the official Drupal community, consulting services or a technical
expert to your rescue.
Jot down the skill set and give appropriate prominence to each one of it; for
instance [Custom Module Development – 10; Theme design – 9; jQuery
and Ajax – 8; Site Migration – 4 etc]
Judge the developers against the skill set

3. Lastly, just go through the samples provided by the developers, their
references etc, and judge theme according to the set criteria, giving them
marks on each of the same. For instance [Developer X: Module
Customization – 7.5; Theme Design – 9; Ajax – 8.5 etc]
Final calculations
Finally just multiply the marks you (perhaps along with your technical
advisory) gave to these developers with the prominence you assigned to
each of the skill set. For Developer X the total in Module Customization
would be – 10*7.5 = 75. Perform the same with the rest and finally add to
get the gross total. Hire Drupal developer with the maximum score.
