When we compare mobile operating systems, Android is the global leader in terms of usage. It holds nearly 70% of the worldwide share, whereas iOS holds close to 30%.

This popularity means the Android app market is competitive, and users look for quality.

For these reasons, Android developers are in high demand, so you may face an uphill battle if you want to hire dedicated Android developers to build your app/s. The hiring process can also be exhausting, and hiring developers who aren’t the right fit for your company can cost you thousands of dollars.

How to hire Android developers

What skills will our developers bring to your project?

Historically, Android apps were developed using Java, so many of our Android developers have a strong understanding of Java. This understanding means they can maintain and work with legacy code.

These days, the language of choice is Kotlin. This is because Google announced Kotlin as the official programming language for Android development in 2017. As a result, many of our Android developers are well-versed in Kotlin and can help you build and maintain high-quality Android apps.

Our Android developers can also help you with:

• Custom app development
• Native apps
• UI/UX designing
• App migration
• Test, maintain, and upgrade

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire dedicated Android developers with Gun.io?

We get a lot of questions about how to hire Android developers and how much they’ll cost. The short answer is this: If you have a budget, we can design a solution to suit your needs. But planning for a future headcount is much easier when you have numbers and data. 

With this in mind, we don’t have standard prices on Gun.io. Instead, we offer flexible retainers based on your needs, the project, and the developers’ salary expectations. These retainers start at $5,000 per month. This price includes Gun.io’s fee; you’ll see the total price upfront on developers’ profiles. There are no extra fees.

To help you move forward and hire Android developers, we’ve gathered data from recent hires on the Gun.io platform. These numbers represent the averages and ranges for developer costs within their respective experience and geography bands. 

This data is a great place to understand how companies you’re competing with think about their investment with each hire.

We recommend using this data as a guide. You’ll still need to consider other factors to determine what will best meet your needs.

How is Gun.io different from other Android developer hiring platforms?

We make the process of hiring Android developers feel effortless, whether for full-time or part-time roles. We streamline the operation, from sourcing and vetting candidates to matching you with top Android programmers.

Our clients appreciate our quick and easy hiring experience, with an average time-to-hire of 13 days. In addition, we’ve implemented a strict vetting process and have built a network of top developers. As a result, our developers have an average of 10+ years of experience.

Here’s a percentage breakdown for approved devs in our network:

• < 7 years: 11%
• 7-9 years: 26%
• 10-19 years: 47%
• 20+ years: 16%

Can I hire an Android developer part-time?

Yes, you can! At Gun.io, you can hire dedicated Android developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis. 

Of the three, contract-to-hire is a favorite among our clients and developers. This is because contract-to-hire lets you roll the developer onto your project to see if they’re a good fit before hiring full-time.

Does Gun.io only provide hiring services, or can I get project management support for my Android project too?

Yes, you can (again!) Gun.io can help you hire dedicated Android developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis, and provide project management support. 

We facilitate intro calls and support both parties as needed throughout the engagement. We also handle hours tracking, billing, and payments.
