3 Steps to Find the Best Software Testers

Finding the best software tester can be challenging. Here are three steps to simplify the process:

1. Search the AT*Work™ List of Testers for Hire. This list allows you to filter by testing area, scripting/programming language, test tool, and domain. Tester profiles indicate whether they are seeking work as an independent contractor or full-time employee, and if they are available for remote or onsite work.
    
2. Start at the top of the AT*Work list and work your way down. AT*Work results are sorted by Testing Tiers® software tester ranking level. Candidates with higher Testing Tiers levels have more proven knowledge as measured by ISTQB certifications and AT*SQA micro-credentials.
    
3. Ensure knowledge of specific testing areas. Candidates can claim to know a testing area, but it's safer for you if they can prove it. AT*SQA's software testing micro-credentials complement ISTQB certifications and allow you to rapidly assess basic knowledge in API testing, DevOps testing, and many other key software testing areas. Contact AT*SQA to purchase them in bulk at a discount and use them as part of your screening and interview process.

3 Ways the Official U.S. List Helps You 

1. It can help you get jobs with American companies. American companies and governmental organizations check with ASTQB & AT*SQA to see if you are certified. Why? Because ASTQB is the official U.S. board for ISTQB certification and AT*SQA is our official ISTQB exam provider. If you're on this list, companies know you took the official U.S. Board's American English ISTQB exam. 
    
2. It could help your company get contracts with American companies. Your inclusion on the Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ is a bonus for your company because it demonstrates your commitment to working with a U.S.-based software quality team. That's a big deal.
    
3. It makes you and your company more prominent. AT*SQA and ASTQB promote the importance of hiring individuals on our Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™, and our ads have been seen more than 50 million times. That makes your certification accomplishment more well-known to U.S. employers and clients every day! Don't forget that ASTQB and AT*SQA will also give you Testing Tiers® points that increase your level on the list.
