Is your company looking for React developers? If you have anything to do with software development, the answer is most likely: yes. After all, React is the single most popular frontend development framework. Finding someone that knows it is not that difficult. But finding someone good at it and willing to work for your company is another story. How to make it happen?
According to the State of Frontend 2020 report by The Software House, React is by far the most popular front-end framework. As many as 74,2% of respondents of the survey admitted to using it more or less often.
With that said, it doesn’t mean that finding people skilled in React is easy. That’s because the demand is just as great.
What can you do about it? The best way is to make sure that potential ambitious developers know and understand that your company is a place where they can work on challenging React-based projects and as a result grow in what they want to do in their career. You can do it by committing yourself to two types of efforts.
