Choose the Right Hiring Model: Hire directly, via contract, or partner with an Employer of Record (EOR) like Revelo to handle compliance, payroll, and HR.
Assess Technical & Soft Skills: Test for Java fundamentals, backend architecture, cloud experience, and English proficiency.
Evaluate Fit for Remote Collaboration: Look for familiarity with distributed agile workflows, GitHub-based version control, and async communication.

Legal & Payroll Considerations for Hiring in Peru

Hiring developers in Peru involves important compliance steps:

‍

Contract Types: Most developers are open to contractor roles or can be hired through an EOR for full-time employment.
Tax Compliance: Contractors manage their own taxes. With an EOR, all local obligations are handled on your behalf.
Working Hours: The legal limit is 48 hours/week, but flexible and remote-first arrangements are widely adopted.

Revelo helps you navigate all local regulations, from contracts to payroll.

Sample Java Interview Questions

Hiring this right specific developer is about asking the right questions. Here are some sample questions to help guide your interview process:

What’s the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList in Java?

ArrayList is better for frequent access, while LinkedList is more efficient for frequent inserts/removals. Both implement List.

Explain the concept of dependency injection in Spring.

Dependency injection is a design pattern where objects are provided their dependencies instead of creating them. Spring uses annotations like @Autowired to inject beans.

How does Java handle memory management?

Java uses automatic memory management via the JVM, which includes garbage collection to clean up unused objects.

What are some ways to optimize performance in Java backend systems?

Caching, connection pooling, efficient data structures, multithreading, lazy loading, and profiling tools help improve performance.

What’s the role of the final keyword?

It can be used to declare constants (variables), prevent method overrides, or block inheritance of classes.
