Read on to learn more about iOS developers and how to hire them. Along the way, we'll cover the differences between iOS and Android developers, iOS app developer salaries and skills, and roles and responsibilities. We'll also share tips for hiring FAANG-caliber iOS app developers.
An iOS app developer is a programmer who creates apps for mobile devices that use Apple's iOS operating system. iOS developers have ample knowledge of how iOS works on different Apple devices, such as the iPhone and iPad. They also know how to program, test, adjust, and publish mobile applications on Apple's Play Store.
Depending on their area of expertise, an iOS developer can build a variety of apps, including:
Like Android developers, iOS devs create apps for mobile devices. However, Android and iOS devs know different sets of programming languages.
Here's what iOS developers are expected to know:
In contrast, Android developers don't need to know Swift or Objective-C. Instead, they need to know at least two of the following:
iOS mobile application developers' roles and responsibilities vary from company to company. However, most startups hire iOS programmers to:
An iOS app developer's salary depends on their skills and experience. Experienced developers have much higher salaries than their inexperienced colleagues.
Junior or entry-level iOS devs have under three years of professional experience. Most are fresh college or boot camp grads, but some are self-taught.
Companies expect junior and entry-level iOS programmers to have the following skills:
Since they have little to no real-world experience, they have lower salaries. According to Salary.com, the average U.S.-based entry-level iOS developer earns $83,572.
Senior iOS developers have over three years of experience. They are fluent in Swift and Objective-C and know how to design, build, test, and deploy apps as part of a development team.
According to Glassdoor, the average U.S.-based senior iOS dev earns an impressive $116,701 per year, with additional cash compensation averaging $9,080.
Most companies expect senior iOS developers to have the following skills:
Now that you know what iOS app developers do and what their salaries are, let's explore how to hire iOS app developers.
First, you need to find the right place to hire iOS app developers. Here are the top places for recruiting the best devs for your team:
If you want to meet talent face-to-face before hiring them, consider sourcing developers through tech hubs.
Tech hubs are communities that promote innovation for tech companies. Some — like California's Silicon Valley — cover large geographic areas, but most are cities, suburbs, or clusters of buildings and offices.
Besides Silicon Valley, the U.S. boasts many tech hubs, including:
However, as previously covered, U.S.-based developers demand high salaries. If you want to cut costs on hiring, consider hiring develops from Latin American tech hubs, including:
If you don't have the time to travel and recruit devs in person, consider hiring iOS developers through job sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. These platforms have advanced tools for locating and hiring talent.
For instance, LinkedIn has LinkedIn Recruiter, an all-encompassing hiring platform that helps you locate, connect with, and manage devs. It offers:
Hiring talent through tech hubs and job sites requires a lot of energy, time, and patience. To ensure you're hiring talent with the right skills, you need to test and vet candidates manually. Depending on the size of your pipeline, this can take weeks or even months.
That's why you should consider partnering with a talent marketplace. Unlike tech hubs and job sites, talent marketplaces already have pre-vetted iOS app developers. All you have to do is tell the talent marketplace about your needs. In a few days, the marketplace will send you a list of the best devs for the job.
If you decide to hire through tech hubs and other platforms that don't have pre-vetted talent pools, you need a compelling iOS app developer job ad to attract the best talent.
Here's a sample job ad:

After posting your job ad on several sites, you'll receive thousands of applications. Read through each applicant's cover letter and resume and compile a list of candidates to interview.
Most companies ask technical questions like "What kind of programming language is Swift?" and "What are the seven stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC)?" However, these questions don't reveal much about what candidates have to offer. Consider asking personalized questions that reveal candidates' personalities, experiences, and skills. Here are some examples:
Yes, if for any reason you find the developer you hire isn't a good fit within the first 14 days - you pay nothing or we can find you a replacement at no additional cost.
