I have seen more posts looking for K2 developers, and I expect to see more as the retirement of SharePoint’s workflow engine nears. I was inspired to write this blog by a client who has been struggling to fill an open role, who asked me where I find K2 developers. It made me reflect on the people I’ve hired and why I chose them, even if they had never touched K2 before. I hope this post helps others who are struggling to fill their roles. https://open.substack.com/pub/caseitsolutions/p/what-is-a-k2-developer?r=6vmqk8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
