Hiring playbook
How to hire front-end developers
Front-end engineers should balance craft and delivery: pairing with design, protecting performance, and shipping calmly.
Anchor on UX outcomes
- Ask for shipped examples and metrics: Core Web Vitals, accessibility fixes, or A/B tests that moved engagement.
- Have candidates walk through how they scoped MVP vs. refinement while keeping stakeholders informed.
Probe accessibility instincts
- Discuss how they test for WCAG, localization, keyboard flows, and semantic HTML.
- Look for candidates who codify accessibility in components and CI, not as a final QA step.
Validate performance judgment
- Explore how they set budgets, monitor regression, and choose between SSR/ISR/CSR trade-offs.
- Great engineers pair profiling with code-splitting, caching, and network-aware UX patterns.
Check collaboration with design and QA
- Strong front-end ICs work in Figma, comment on accessibility, and set up shared rituals with QA for visual diffs.
- Listen for calm communication, documentation, and the ability to coach design and product partners.
Onboard with tokens and CI budgets
- Share tokens, linting rules, and performance/accessibility gates up front.
- Pair them with design and QA leads in sprint one so rituals and standards stick.
How it works
Engage in three clear steps

Are front-end developers in demand?
Yes. Demand stays high as companies evolve design systems, optimize performance, and build omnichannel experiences.
Candidates who combine design empathy, accessibility rigor, and production habits are scarce—structured screening matters.
What distinguishes great front-end engineers?
Systems thinking for design systems, accessibility, and performance budgets.
Comfort with SSR/ISR, streaming, and caching strategies alongside UI craft.
Delivery habits: linters, tests, observability, and collaboration with design and QA.

Design systems and tokens: component patterns, documentation, governance.
Performance and accessibility: budgets, monitoring, WCAG, localization.
Delivery: CI/CD, visual regression, experimentation, and analytics.
When to choose specialists vs. generalists
Specialists fit best for design system overhauls, performance turnarounds, or accessibility remediation.
Generalists shine when you need end-to-end feature delivery with strong UX sensibilities.
