The Problem
When you browse a talent marketplace, you are guessing. You see a resume that claims '5 Years GraphQL,' but you don't know:
Can they solve N+1 problems in resolvers, or does every nested query hammer your database?
Have they designed federated schemas across multiple teams, or only worked on single-service APIs?
Is their understanding of query security deep enough to prevent malicious depth attacks?
The Solution
ConnectDevs removes the guesswork. We don't just send profiles; we send Structured Intelligence. Every candidate is interviewed by SAM against the specific GraphQL challenges you care about. You don't guess if they are good. You know.

RELATED STACK
Everything you need to know about sourcing, assessing, and hiring top GraphQL Developers through our platform.
SAM's technical interview presents candidates with resolver performance scenarios requiring Dataloader implementation, batching strategies, and caching patterns. You receive a scored report showing their ability to prevent database overload under production query loads.
Senior GraphQL developers command average salaries around $155,000 annually, particularly those with federation and gateway experience. Traditional agencies extract 20-35% in placement fees. ConnectDevs operates on a flat subscription with zero markup, significantly reducing total hiring cost.
The Scout agent searches 800M+ public profiles for signals of GraphQL schema design, Apollo or Relay contributions, and API gateway experience. This delivers a targeted shortlist in days rather than the weeks typical of manual sourcing.
GraphQL excels when clients need flexible data fetching across multiple resources, reducing over-fetching in mobile apps and complex dashboards. REST remains simpler for straightforward CRUD operations. A GraphQL architect can help you design the right boundaries for your use case.
Federation matters when you have multiple teams owning different domains that need to compose into a unified API. Scout identifies candidates who understand schema stitching, entity references, and gateway routing for enterprise-scale implementations.
Every ConnectDevs engagement provides raw assessment data upfront, including competency scores on query complexity analysis, depth limiting, and cost-based rate limiting. Audit the security and performance evaluation before you invest interview time.
