SQL (Structured Query Language) is a database language programmers use to design tables, write queries, and store data. 

Depending on the platform used, there are different variations of SQL, but they all perform the same basic functions: retrieve, add, edit, and delete database data.

As a result, companies are looking for SQL programmers for hire. They want to streamline their data processes, and they know that hiring a talented developer can transform their business.

However, the demand for these devs increases as the language gets even more popular. This makes it difficult to find SQL programmers for hire. Hiring SQL developers who aren’t the right fit for your company can also cost you thousands of dollars.

That’s where we come in. At Gun.io, we help companies of all sizes –from Fortune 500s to startups – hire SQL developers for full-time and part-time positions. Our average time to hire is 13 days. 

And instead of non-technical recruiters, we have a team of senior developers who run our vetting and matching. This process means we can help you hire SQL programmers with minimal fuss.

How to hire SQL developers

Why hire a SQL developer?

If you need your website to serve information from a database or users to enter password information to log in to your app, you’ll likely need a SQL developer.

Most expert SQL programmers know SQL, C++, and/or Java. They also know that being hacked or losing data is a real threat, so they make sure the data and code is secure for their projects.

One of the major perks of hiring a SQL developer is managing an ocean of data. Their expertise allows them to do more in less time and while using fewer company resources. 

Also, if you hire one who stays up to date on the ever-changing industry, they’ll be able to keep your systems running smoothly.

How do I hire SQL developers?

To hire SQL developers, you must define your needs, post a job description, screen resumes, conduct interviews, test candidates’ skills, check references, and make an offer.

If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. Here at Gun, we’ve helped companies of all sizes – from Fortune 500s to startups – hire talented developers in an average of 13 days or less, so we know we can help you too.

FAQs

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

We get a lot of questions about SQL programmers for hire 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, and you’ll see the total price upfront on developers’ profiles. There are no extra fees.

To help you move forward and find SQL programmers for hire, 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 the best SQL developers for hire.
