Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout Frontend Engineer Intern Hiring

Frontend Engineer Interns focus specifically on client-side development and user interfaces, while Full Stack Interns work on both frontend and backend technologies. When hiring, consider your team's specific needs and mentorship capacity.

Use a combination of portfolio review, small coding challenges, and pair programming exercises. Focus on fundamentals like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript rather than complex framework knowledge.

Watch for candidates who only have tutorial-based projects, lack basic HTML/CSS understanding, or show no initiative in personal projects. Also be wary of those who can't explain their code or show no interest in learning new technologies.

Focus on practical experience and project work over academic performance. Look for candidates who have built real projects, contributed to open source, or completed relevant internships, as these better indicate their ability to contribute.

Consider hiring one intern per 4-5 senior developers to ensure proper mentorship. This ratio allows for meaningful guidance while maintaining team productivity.
