Hi, I'm John Rake

john rake profile

I’m a seasoned app developer with over a decade of experience and digital partner to a startup incubator. Each year I help dozens of entrepreneurs validate their ideas, quickly prototype their products, and launch them into a market full of happy customers eager to buy.

After a decade of helping founders launch great digital products, I’ve sharpened my skills and created reliable processes that generate success. In the past, I’ve unknowingly kept these secrets restricted to clients who work with me.

This ebook shares that knowledge and will teach you how to hire rockstar software developers.

40+ pages of knowledge you need to hire the best developer for your project.

  1. No Tech Skills Required. You don't need a masters degree in rocket ships to read this book. This book uses what I call "normal human words". Neat, huh?
  2. Picture Your Developer. Draft your ideal developer based on your business needs, shared personal values, communication styles, and budget.
  3. Interview With Confidence. Follow a step-by-step interview template. Ask the questions that matter and quickly toss aside the unqualified candidates.
  4. Pick Your Rockstar. Use a standardized grading rubric to narrow down your top candidates and choose the rockstar developer YOU NEED!

I make tech, dare I say it, fun?

Let's face it, tech can be a dull subject. So, whenever possible I spice things up with my own blend of goofy personality and humor. These lessons are critical and will save you thousands.

Here's just a few of my favorite sections. I know you're going to love what's inside!
