The Unfair Advantage

Why Smart Teams Choose Intelligence Over Marketplaces

Marketplaces show you profiles. We show you capability.

The Problem

When you browse a talent marketplace, you are guessing. You see a resume that claims '5 Years React,' but you don't know:

Can they diagnose a slow LCP and fix it without breaking functionality, or do they just add lazy loading everywhere?

Have they architected SSR and ISR strategies for production scale, or only used default Next.js settings?

Is their accessibility work semantic HTML and proper ARIA, or just passing automated audits?

The Solution

ConnectDevs removes the guesswork. We don't just send profiles; we send Structured Intelligence. Every candidate is interviewed by SAM against the specific Front-End challenges you care about. You don't guess if they are good. You know.

FAQ

Questions About Hiring Front-End Engineers?

Everything you need to know about sourcing, assessing, and hiring top Front-End Engineers through our platform.

How do you test whether a front-end engineer can optimize Core Web Vitals versus just building features?

SAM's technical interview presents candidates with LCP, FID, and CLS scenarios and asks them to diagnose bottlenecks, implement code splitting, and optimize critical rendering paths. You receive a scored report showing their performance engineering depth.

What does it cost to hire a senior front-end engineer in 2026?

Senior front-end engineers command average salaries around $210,000 annually in top markets. Traditional agencies extract 20-30% in placement fees. ConnectDevs operates on a flat subscription starting at $69/mo with zero markup on candidate compensation.

How quickly can we get a shortlist of front-end engineers?

The Scout agent searches 800M+ public profiles for signals like Next.js contributions, performance optimization work, and accessibility expertise. This delivers a targeted shortlist in days rather than the weeks typical of manual sourcing.

Should we hire a React specialist or a framework-agnostic front-end engineer?

React dominates enterprise adoption, but engineers with strong JavaScript fundamentals adapt faster to framework shifts. SAM evaluates both framework proficiency and underlying DOM and rendering knowledge to ensure long-term value.

How do you evaluate a candidate's accessibility engineering skills beyond checkbox compliance?

SAM presents scenarios involving screen reader navigation, keyboard-only interaction, and ARIA implementation. Candidates must demonstrate semantic HTML decisions and assistive technology compatibility. The evaluation report scores their a11y maturity.

What if the front-end engineer ships slow, inaccessible interfaces?

Every ConnectDevs engagement provides raw assessment data upfront, including competency scores on performance and accessibility. Audit the technical depth before you invest interview time to minimize the risk of hiring someone who creates technical debt.
