Interviewing and hiring front-end developers doesn\u2019t have to be painful \u2013 for the company or the candidate. A good interview is fun and creative, and reflects real on-the-job skills and the working environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t do that with a whiteboard or a clunky screen share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better approach? Collaborative pair programming sessions that quickly showcase a candidate\u2019s true skills in a familiar environment. A standardized process that is fair and fast. And interview questions that go beyond algorithm trivia by using technologies that a candidate would actually use on the job.

You\u2019re strapped for time\u2013so we\u2019ve put together everything you need to create a great hiring process for front-end developers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you conduct a technical interview for a front-end engineer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recruiting technical talent can be a complex process, but with the right tools in place, it doesn’t need to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose a tool that supports the right language and framework.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Select an assessment platform that can accurately measure a candidate’s technical skill level. When looking for the ideal fit, you’ll want one that supports the languages and frameworks needed by your organization and allows audio\/visual calls so that you can interact with potential hires while they’re in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Code playback is a must-have<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it’s essential to have a playback feature that will help you and your team review how candidates performed after the interview is over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make sure you assess technical skills relevant to the job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your platform ready to go, ensure you assess them on only those skills that apply to the job – particularly if they’re front-end developers – including JavaScript fundamentals, basic design principles, and an understanding of accessibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To back this up, create an exercise that resembles tasks they’d likely encounter while employed at your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t forget to assess developer soft skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, when making your determination, don’t ignore their soft skills either; consider questions such as how well they communicate during the interview and how they handle challenges or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
