I am looking to understand what actually matters when hiring ReactJS developers for ongoing, real-world projects.
ReactJS skills can look similar on paper, but outcomes vary a lot once development starts. Beyond components and hooks, what criteria have you found useful when evaluating developers for long-term work?
A few areas I am trying to learn more about:
- Experience with state management, performance tuning, and testing
- Ability to maintain and scale existing codebases
- Communication and collaboration within product teams
- Hiring mistakes that tend to surface later rather than upfront
I recently read some guidance on hiring ReactJS developers from Tech Formation that raised a few practical points and I wanted to compare those ideas with real experiences from this community.
