Common Certifications for Software Developer Staffing

Overall, the SEMC certification checks for candidate competency in all aspects of engineering. The course and test cover Software Engineering Requirements, Software Engineering Design, Software Engineering Construction, Software Engineering Testing, and a plethora of other software-related topics. Therefore, if the candidate has this certification, they are experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect needed to be a master.

Scrum is a form of program management introduced in the late 1990s. Basically, Scrum is a work and scheduling formula that a company or team can use to help them finish a project with efficiency. The key element here being ‘sprints’. 

For example, let’s say you decide to draw a portrait of your friend. After every feature, you stop to make sure it is correct. After drawing one eye, you check to see if that eye is correct. Nose, mouth, and so on. Therefore, you can fix issues in small increments instead of waiting till the entire picture is finished. 

If a candidate has a CSM certification, they are experts in the management framework. Because a lot of development teams work with the Scrum formula, it helps leaders to be certified in the subject.

Provided by Global Knowledge, the MCAD certification shows that the candidate has entry-level knowledge in all things applications. The course and test press all facets of application development, from coding to design, giving the candidate a great foundation knowledge of Microsoft and Microsoft back-end creations.

While this not be as direct as a certification in engineering, it’s still a great sign of a competent and driven developer.

Though not as significant as a portfolio of experience and schooling, the certification does show that the candidate has a small level of higher education on the subject. This is a bonus if your company’s apps are designed for Microsoft products.

Common Skills

Due to being an engineer, Software Development professionals will spend a lot of their time working with and using programming languages. Therefore, the candidate should have a strong basis in Java, JavaScript, Python, SQL, PHP, PowerShell, and C. If your company prefers a specific language, then you may look for that specific language in the candidate’s resume.

Due to creating and looking over the company’s new software and back-end coding for issues, the candidate should be an expert at troubleshooting. Once the Developer goes about creating the software, the rest of their responsibilities will surround upkeep. Therefore, the professional should have expert troubleshooting skills, giving them the ability to quickly pinpoint and fix issues, keeping the application running smoothly.

It’s possible the Developer is in charge of a team or department. They may be asked to oversee or plan development schedules. The Developer will be implementing and communicating their research to the development team, helping lead and champion new implementations. Therefore, the candidate should have great leadership and managerial skills (i.e. the aforementioned Scrum certification).
