Hire developers
The .NET pool is deep in enterprise, finance, healthcare, and Unity game shops, so you will find plenty of people who have shipped real systems. The catch is the split between modern .NET (Core, cross-platform, running on Linux) and the older .NET Framework world of Windows servers and WebForms. A lot of resumes say ".NET" but mean a decade inside one Microsoft shop doing CRUD, and that experience does not always travel. The real risk when hiring is mistaking long tenure for range.
Ask whether their recent work is on modern .NET or legacy Framework, and whether they have actually run it on Linux or in containers rather than IIS. Strong candidates are precise about async: they can explain a deadlock they caused with blocking calls, or why a hot path was allocating too much and pressuring the garbage collector. Probe Entity Framework specifically, since it is where good C# people and people who just click through it diverge. Ask them to describe a production incident, a memory leak, an N+1 query, or a threadpool starvation, and how they found it.
