I wonder why Technical Recruiters these days want entry level Engineers to have a project that solves a unique problem... Most Experienced devs talk down on clones of real life products... For a Frontend Engineer, if you can build a clone that looks like the original product, it means you would be able to understand product requirements... Besides, you are looking for a job and not pitching to potential investors and the job will never ask you to come up with new product ideas rather it would require you to transform some figma/xd/Invision designs to functional product with codes... So why talk down on clones since a huge part of the work would be cloning??? #frontend #softwaredevelopment

As a frontend Engineer, Identifying potential employers can be challenging. Here is my framework that may help you to guide your evaluation process. Here are key parameters to consider: Product Impact: How crucial is the frontend to their success? Is it user-facing (think Figma, Google Docs, or OTT platforms), or internal-facing (dashboards)? Tech Stack: Are they on the cutting edge, or is there a clear migration plan? Team Structure: Do frontend and backend engineers work together, or are they siloed? Interview Process: Is there a dedicated frontend interview process, or is it backend-heavy? Compensation: Do frontend engineers get compensated competitively (compared to backend/full-stack roles)? Open Source: Does the company contribute to open-source projects? (Bonus points if they have projects relevant to your interests!) Design: Are their products visually appealing? Is there a strong brand identity and a cohesive UI/UX? Do they use a design system? #frontendengineering #careeradvice #techindustryinsights #techcareers #evaluate

Calling All Creative Coders! At Vectorface, we're on the hunt for a talented Front-End Developer to join our growing team. But here's the thing: while we've seen a ton of resumes, many lack the one quality we crave most – creativity.

It's about bringing interfaces to life, crafting exceptional user experiences, and building something that's not just functional, but truly enthralling. So, developers, how are you showcasing your creative spark in your applications? Here are a few ideas: Craft a portfolio website that reflects your unique style. Go beyond just listing projects – showcase your thought process, design decisions, and the impact your work has had. Include a creative coding project in your portfolio. This could be a personal website, a game, or even a fun interactive element. Tailor your resume to the specific role. Highlight projects that align with our company's brand and target audience. Remember, your resume is your first impression. Make it stand out and show us why you're the developer who can turn our design vision into a captivating reality.

What HRs and recruiters won't tell you. Read this if you're looking for a job. For the past couple of weeks, I've been hiring for frontend. This is the first time I've had to officially hire. I've been doing it through referrals. I learned a great deal from this experience and I'll like to share a little insights with you next week. I would need to prepare a detailed carousel. But a strong point is this: ↳ Hiring is not about you! It's about the company and the role. This mindset shift can change the experience for you. Anyone hiring has a pain point they're trying to solve. If you can solve that pain, you're the perfect fit. It's not just about your skills and experience, it's way beyond that. So when next you want to apply, ask yourself what pain they're facing and how you can solve it. This is one of the strategies I teach my mentees - a strategy from a fellow HR to help you land your next role. If you need help with your job search as a UI/UX designer, send me a DM. There are 3 more slots left. REPOST ♻️ this to help someone searching for a job. Follow me and hit the bell icon on my profile so you'll be the first to get the insights from my hiring experience when it drops next week.

The cool thing about front-end engineering is how it combines many different skills. A great front-end engineer has broad knowledge of: → The fundamental web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) → Guiding data smoothly through an application and integrating with 3rd party systems → Architectural design skills around modern JS frameworks and building reusable components → Animation techniques and basic design concepts to build creative and interactive experiences It's also vital that the front-end engineer can communicate effectively with clients/stakeholders and collaborate with UX/UI designers, backend developers and project managers. Now, that might seem like a lot of responsibilities (because it is!) And of course not everyone will be an expert at everything, and that's okay. But these are some of the things I look for when hiring front-end people that I think makes them a valuable edition to our team.

A recent interview for our #WebDesigner (Frontend) role brought to light a critical issue: the gap between a candidate’s listed skills and their actual experience. 🕵️♂️ We met a candidate with 2+ years at her previous company, applying for a Frontend Designer role. Her resume boasted all the required skills, but when we asked about her job responsibilities, she revealed that her work was limited to adding content to the website. 😔 She had been performing the same task repeatedly for two years without expanding her skill set. It was clear she didn’t fully understand the depth of the Frontend Designer role or the skills required. This situation underscores a broader issue: candidates sometimes don’t realize they’re not gaining the experience they need. 🧠 As HR professionals, we have a duty to provide guidance and support to help candidates navigate their career paths effectively. 🚀 It’s vital to encourage continuous learning and skill development to avoid wasted years and ensure real growth. 🌱 To #candidates: Be proactive in seeking opportunities to develop your skills beyond basic tasks. And to #hiringteams: Let's continue to offer mentorship and constructive feedback to help everyone succeed. 🌟 #HRInsights #JobInterviews #WebDesign #FrontendDeveloper #CareerDevelopment #SkillsVsExperience #ResumeReality #ProfessionalGrowth #Guidance #Recruitment 💡

Something that happened to me: I recently applied for a Frontend Developer opening. But I didn’t just send a generic application. Oh no, I wanted to see how far the extra mile would actually take me. What I did: ✔️ Researched the company ✔️ Found the HR contact ✔️ Personalized my cover letter to explain why my slightly unconventional frontend skillset is just what they need I hit "Send" feeling optimistic and proud of the case I had put together. Then, drumroll... I got an automated rejection for the UX Designer position, stating that they couldn't continue with me since they found a better match. Spoiler alert: I didn’t apply for a UX Designer role. But hey, I’m glad they found someone! 🎉 Just wish I could figure out how I entered into the wrong contest. Which leads me to some thoughts: 👉 Is the time investment into a personalized application worth it? 👉 Are recruiters and HR trained enough to understand the positions they’re hiring for? I’m not saying they need to know the difference between a REST API and GraphQL, but if a CV says “UX Engineer,” wouldn’t it help to at least look it up? 👉 How often do companies miss out on great talent because of mismatches like this? I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. After countless applications, it’s hard to stay motivated. But let’s be real: companies want superstars—yet the process for finding them often feels broken. What’s your experience?
