FAQs
Hire QA Engineers: Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about hiring QA engineers through Salt.
How quickly can I hire QA engineers through Salt?
You can hire QA engineers within 1-2 weeks. We present pre-vetted candidates within 2-3 days, you interview and select, and engineers can start with a 2-week trial. No lengthy recruitment cycles or months of searching.
What skills do your QA engineers have?
Our QA engineers are proficient in test automation (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright), API testing (Postman, REST Assured), performance testing (JMeter, k6), mobile testing (Appium), CI/CD integration, and test management tools. Many also have experience with security testing, accessibility audits, and test strategy development.
How do you vet QA engineers before I hire them?
Our vetting includes hands-on testing exercises, automation framework development tasks, bug reporting quality assessment, and test strategy discussions. We evaluate their understanding of testing methodologies, attention to detail, and ability to communicate issues clearly. Only about 3% pass.
Can I hire QA engineers for my existing team?
Yes, absolutely. When you hire QA engineers through Salt, they integrate seamlessly with your existing team, processes, and tools. They participate in your sprint planning, write test cases, collaborate with developers, and join release processes.
Do your QA engineers do both manual and automation testing?
Yes, our QA engineers are skilled in both manual and automation testing. Most can handle exploratory testing, write automated tests, and build automation frameworks. We can also match you with specialists if you need pure automation engineers or manual testing experts.
What experience level are the QA engineers I can hire?
Most QA engineers you can hire through Salt have 4-8+ years of experience in software testing. We categorize engineers as Mid-level (3-5 years), Senior (5-8 years), and Lead/Principal (8+ years) based on demonstrated skills, not just tenure.
Can QA engineers help set up our testing infrastructure?
Yes. Many of our QA engineers have experience setting up automation frameworks from scratch, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines, and establishing testing best practices. They can help you build a solid testing foundation or improve your existing setup.
What if I need to hire more QA engineers later?
Scaling is built into our model. Start by hiring one QA engineer, add more as needed, or transition to a full Pod with additional skills (developers, DevOps). There's no penalty or friction for scaling up or down.
What time zones do your QA engineers work in?
Our engineers are based in India but maintain 4-6 hours of overlap with US time zones. Many work flexible schedules to align with your team's core hours. We ensure there's enough real-time collaboration for effective teamwork.
