How to Evaluate & Hire Frontend Developers

Our focus is to create coding assessments that empower hiring teams to predict whether candidates will perform well on the job. Our real-world Frontend Coding Tasks provide a great way to assess Frontend Developers for team fit.

There are many different kinds of Frontend Developer roles that each have unique requirements:

Some companies that focus on Web Application Development (Web Apps, Single Page Applications (SPA), Server Side Rendering) will require their candidates to have mastered at least one of the popular frameworks, such as React, AngularJS, or VueJS. Other companies value vanilla JavaScript or TypeScript experience. Here are some of the languages and frameworks supported on CodeSubmit:

How to Evaluate & Hire Frontend Developers

When hiring teams create an interview process that mirrors the open role’s day-to-day work, it makes the entire experience much more enjoyable for the candidate. In using these real-life coding tasks, you can see your candidates’ strengths and weaknesses in operations they’ve been performing for some time, instead of only being able to measure their basic coding ability. Candidates will stop viewing your recruiting steps as a hassle and start viewing them as opportunities to show off their skills.

Some of the real-world skills that are covered on CodeSubmit include:

Sound Knowledge of Web Frameworks & Object Relational Mappers (ORMs)
Functional programming & systems design
Building strong APIs
Good Understanding of Asynchronous Architecture
Error handling and exception recovery
Knowledge of testing frameworks (e.g. Jest, Jasmine, Mocha)
Managing databases and ORMs from Node.js (e.g. MongoDB, Postgres, MySQL)

No braindead code challenges just real-world tasks for real-world engineers. That's why we at Finn love CodeSubmit.
