I am looking to hire a Linux Application developer for my startup. But am having trouble screening for the right skill-set. What should I look for ? And, where do I find these developers who have experience in building applications for Linux?

Although not strictly about the process of coding in C, this forum seemed the most appropriate for this topic. Apologies if that's not correct.

VRMS(1) General Commands Manual VRMS(1)NAME
vrms - report of installed non-free software
SYNOPSIS
vrms [OPTION] ...
DESCRIPTION
This program began as an attempt to create a "virtual Richard M. Stallman" for Debian GNU/Linux. Thus the choice of name.
This program analyzes the currently-installed package list on a Debian GNU/Linux system, and reports the non-free and contrib packages that
are currently installed to stdout. In some cases, such as regarding documentation licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License with
invariant sections, the opinions of Richard M. Stallman and the Debian project have diverged since this program was originally written.
In such cases, this program follows the definition of freedom embodied in the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
The packages in the non-free tree have restrictions on their use and/or distribution which cause them to fail to meet the terms of the
Debian Free Software Guidelines included as part of the Debian Social Contract. However, some are sufficiently useful that their presence
is often tolerated by Debian users despite their licensing.
The packages in the contrib tree are themselves free software but have some dependency on non-free software for their use that make them
worthy of reporting so that their use can also be consciously considered.
Richard is the most vocal among us on the issue of software morality, and we agree with Richard that Debian users should have an easy way
to know when they are running non-free software on their systems. This program is our attempt to fill that need.
OPTIONS
All options can be prefixed with -- (eg: --noexplain) to turn them off.
-q, --quiet
Do nothing if there are no non-free packages installed.
-e, --explain
Give a brief explanation of why each package is non-free, if available. This is the default.
-s, --sparse
Just output a list of non-free packages.
--reason-dir=DIR
Use DIR as the reason directory, instead of /usr/share/vrms/reasons/.
-h, --help
Display help.
-d, --debug
Generate debugging information.
FILES
/usr/share/vrms/reasons
Default source of explanations for why packages are non-free.
HISTORY
This program was written by Bdale Garbee and Bill Geddes for the Debian GNU/Linux system, in response to an open discussion with Richard
Stallman about the issues surrounding the availability/desirability of the 'non-free' package tree in Debian.
