Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking to expand our dev team with a few Java experts, preferably remote. I’ve had mixed experiences using platforms like Upwork and Toptal — some great, some not so much.

Before I dive back into the usual channels, does anyone have recommendations for reliable ways to find and vet experienced Java developers? I came across this article which outlines a few hiring strategies — seems pretty solid, but I’d love to hear real-world experiences or tips from others here.

Thanks in advance!
