Hire Front-End Developers

Screened for the craft behind fast, accessible, maintainable interfaces.

Why STACK IT

Built to hire front-end developers, not fill seats.

Most agencies optimize for volume. We optimize for the one hire who’s right, vetted by people who understand the work.

A calibrated 3–5 person shortlistTypically within five business days, candidates chosen for your team, not a résumé flood.

Recruiters who speak front-end

We screen for the judgment behind good interfaces: performance, accessibility, and state, not just framework names. No candidate reaches you without two recruiters signing off.

Every candidate is real

Fake profiles, proxy interviews, and AI-assisted answers are everywhere in tech hiring. We meet each candidate face-to-face on video and screen for AI patterns, so who you interview is who shows up.

Screened to stay, not just to start

A hire that leaves in a year isn't a win. We align trajectory, growth, and total comp so the developer grows with your team instead of moving on.

You pay only when they start

Success-based and non-exclusive, no upfront fees, no retainers. We invoice on your developer's first day, not before.

How we screen

The Front-End Developers Evaluation Rubric.

We screen for how front-end developers actually think. Every shortlist is judged against the same five criteria that predict whether someone delivers in your codebase.

Open any criterion to see what separates a strong hire

Strong signal

Builds interfaces that stay smooth and predictable, and sweats the details users actually feel.

Falls short

Ships screens that look right in the demo but break on real data and real devices.

Strong signal

Keeps state predictable and components composable as the app and team scale.

Falls short

Reaches for global state and one-off hacks until the app is hard to change.

Strong signal

Builds to WCAG by habit: semantics, keyboard paths, and ARIA where it belongs.

Falls short

Treats accessibility as a final-pass checkbox, if at all.

Strong signal

Watches Core Web Vitals and bundle size, and fixes the cause, not the symptom.

Falls short

Lets the bundle and render cost creep until pages feel slow.

Strong signal

Partners closely with design, flags edge cases early, and ships what was intended.

Falls short

Implements mockups literally and leaves the gaps for someone else to find.

A candidate only reaches your shortlist after they meet all of our standards.

The cost of waiting

An open role isn’t free.

An empty seat doesn’t delay work, it redistributes it. The longer the search drags, the more it costs.

Every week a role stays open, the cost lands on the team you already have.

  • Work waits in the backlog while priorities pile up.
  • They cover work that isn’t theirs, until something slips.
  • The longer the seat stays empty, the harder the restart.

Speed isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between a gap and a setback.

FAQ

Hiring front-end developers, answered.

The questions teams usually ask before starting a search with us.

Recruiter-led and scenario-based, not generic coding tests. We dig into real projects to see how a developer handles state, performance, and accessibility, not just framework trivia. Every candidate is met face-to-face over video, the same practice behind our AI hiring fraud protection, and no one reaches your inbox until a second reviewer signs off.

You'll typically see your first qualified candidate within 24–48 hours, and a calibrated shortlist of three to five within about five business days. Most permanent roles close in two to three weeks; contract placements often start within 5–10 business days.

For permanent hires it's success-based: you pay only when a candidate starts, with no upfront fee or retainer. Contract placements run on a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, compliance, and onboarding. There's no cost to simply engage us.

Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee: if it doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we replace them at no charge. It's part of how we stay accountable long after the placement. For contract roles, our backfill guarantee means we replace a contractor quickly and at no extra cost if they exit early.

No. We work non-exclusively by default, so you can keep your internal sourcing running or use other firms alongside us. We'd rather earn repeat business through results than lock you into an agreement. We just work best when feedback is quick and expectations are clear.
