If you're hiring a smart contract developer then Solidity is a must.
For other kinds of token developers then it would be helpful to understand how Ethereum/Polygon/AVAX work since you'd probably be building on top of one of those.
Topic: Hiring Blockchain Developers: What Features Matter Most? (Read 177 times)
Well, right. There's no correct answer there and you gotta still do some research about the candidate to see who's the most fit in that position as most talented ones shows results and not resumes.
I agree. Your answer also leads me to the question about the research. What, in your opinion, is the win-win test task for a blockchain developer? I don't expect it to take much time to complete and be tricky.
I would like it to be more about understanding how the candidate thinks. Have you ever encountered some examples or cases?
Not yet, but I've watched those hiring managers that give tips about it and you're right about that you have to understand how your candidate thinks and through those test and series of interviews, you'll get to know them a bit. Yeah, so here are 2 sides:
1) In fact, it can be true that skilled developers will not have a LinkedIn page. Or at least they may have a page there, but that doesn't mean there will be info about their skills, etc. The profile may be empty; let's say it is like this:
Most of the skilled developers have their own portfolios and websites setup. Most times, the companies are the ones that contact them and asked for an interview. Because everything that a company needs is already on their webpage, LinkedIn or any platform that they have published their skillset.1) In fact, it can be true that skilled developers will not have a LinkedIn page.

2) Still, if you're prioritizing official relationships, there is no better place than LinkedIn. Still, many clients who are willing to build something related to the blockchain field are working officially. I mean, no USDT payments as salaries, etc. Some developers in this field are also working this way.
That's why maybe we will not have a 100% correct answer here.

Good talents are always taken up somehow and most of the incompetent or under qualified potential employees are always the most vocal 
Blockchain is also something so broad. You can have someone who specialized on for example Ethereum, and it's programming language (Solidity) can do less when it comes to Bitcoin or Solana.

Currently, we're looking to expand our network of blockchain developers, and I’m curious—what are the key features or skills you think are most important when evaluating candidates in this field? Here are 2 particular questions from me to develop this discussion:
1) What challenges have you faced in finding qualified blockchain talent, and how did you overcome them?
Since I've hired a good few blockchain developers in the past, I can mention that the agencies' most common mistake is trying to find blockchain developers on LinkedIn. No good or privacy-focused developer will have a profile on LinkedIn.1) What challenges have you faced in finding qualified blockchain talent, and how did you overcome them?
Do you have any specific reason to make this claim? Because as far as I know LlinkedIn is currently the most popular social media for professionals, I believe there are some other job posting platform, especially ones that focus on Blockchain Industry like https://web3.career/ or https://cryptojobslist.com/, but those platform is just a job posting platform, while linkedin is much more like social media, where Recruiter could verify the leigitimacy of job seeker claim of their skills and experience based on other users endorsement, and I think that why Recruiter prefer linkedin rather than other platform, and so I think job seeker will most likely use linkedin if they are truly looking for job.

2) In your experience, what skills are most critical for blockchain developers in today’s market?
Thanks!
To list a fewThanks!
- Understanding the whys of Blockchain & distributed networking
- Experienced in writing code on the networking side with a low-level language like C++/Rust
- Understanding of the p2p protocol & cryptography
- The other stuff like web3 bullshit & coin specific API's should be easy to understand for anyone with strong fundamentals in the above
