Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout React Developer Hiring
Use a combination of coding challenges focused on component architecture and live pair programming sessions. Ask candidates to explain their thought process while solving real-world React problems.
React developers should specifically demonstrate expertise in component lifecycle, state management, and React-specific patterns. They need deeper knowledge of the React ecosystem compared to general JavaScript developers.
Look for projects that demonstrate complex state management, performance optimization, and clean component architecture. Check their GitHub contributions and any open-source React projects.
Focus on functional components and hooks experience, as they represent modern React development. Class component knowledge is good but shouldn't be a primary hiring criterion.
Watch for poor component organization, lack of proper state management, ignored performance considerations, and absence of testing. These indicate gaps in fundamental React knowledge.
