Front-end

Hire React developers

The default choice for new front-ends, and the stack with the widest candidate pool — which cuts both ways at interview.

What they are hired to build

The work, before the CV.

A role written against the work gets a better shortlist than a role written against a stack. These are what React engineers are usually brought in to do.

Roles we recruit: Front-end engineer (React) · Full-stack engineer (React + Node) · Senior / lead front-end engineer · UI engineer with design-system ownership.

  • Customer-facing web applications and dashboards
  • Design-system and component-library work
  • Next.js server-rendered sites where SEO matters
  • Incremental replacement of an older jQuery or Angular.js front-end

The technical screen

What the conversation actually covers.

Every candidate has a real technical conversation with an engineer who has done the job, and you get written evidence per competency. In React, that conversation covers the following.

Usually assessed alongside: TypeScript, Next.js, Testing Library, CSS architecture.

  • Rendering behaviour and when a re-render is actually a problem
  • State: what belongs in a component, a store, or the server
  • Data fetching, caching and loading states — not just the happy path
  • Accessibility of the components they have shipped, tested rather than claimed
Worth saying up front

The pool is large and the median is not strong. Expect us to reject more React candidates than any other stack before a shortlist reaches you.
