Hire React developers in 48 hours.

Hiring React talent is the most crowded corner of the developer market, which is exactly why a portfolio and a friendly call tell you almost nothing. Our screen is built to show judgment under realistic conditions.

It runs in four parts. First, a component-API design exercise: we hand over a real-ish feature and watch how the candidate designs the interface — props or context, controlled or uncontrolled, where state lives, how it gets reused and tested. Good engineers design the seams before they write any markup.

Second, performance reasoning. We give them a component that re-renders too often and ask them to diagnose it. We're listening for whether they profile and reason, or whether they wrap everything in memo and hope.

Third, accessibility. Keyboard navigation, focus management, semantic HTML, sensible ARIA — part of "done," not a later ticket. A custom dropdown that traps keyboard users fails the bar no matter how clean the code looks. Fourth, testing: unit tests in Jest or Vitest and integration tests in React Testing Library, written with the feature and aimed at behaviour rather than brittle internals.

If you want to run the same bar yourself, our guide to hiring React developers walks through the whole process.

Here's the same story told through real engagements instead of adjectives. Every figure below comes from a project in our case-study record.

HealthTech SaaS Australia — React inside a delivery turnaround

An Australian HealthTech company building clinic-management and patient-records software was stuck at two engineers and couldn't keep up with its own roadmap. We embedded a pod — .NET Core on the backend, React on the web, Flutter on mobile, all on Azure. The React work mattered: we moved the appointment-scheduling interface, the most-used screen in the product, off legacy jQuery and onto a modern React component architecture, which unlocked UX work the old code had blocked for over a year. We also built a component library on Radix UI primitives with a healthcare design system on top. Shipping went 4× faster, production bugs fell 50%, and the team grew from 2 to 12 without the usual communication tax. Their CTO put it simply: "They rebuilt our engineering foundation while simultaneously shipping product." Read the case study →

Hydesq — a full React product, end to end

Hydesq is an Australian desk-booking startup. The founder brought a concept and a design; we built the product. That meant a React admin dashboard — live floor-plan view, booking management, zone and resource config, and a reporting module for utilisation by zone, team and day — plus a React Native employee app and a Node.js/PostgreSQL backend serving both from one API. The work earned a 5.0 Clutch rating and rolled into ongoing maintenance. Read the case study →

Garuda — React in production since 2018

We don't only build React for clients; we run it ourselves. Garuda, our clinic-management platform, has had a React web frontend in continuous production since 2018, serving real clinics every day alongside a Flutter patient app on a shared Node.js API. Maintaining a React frontend across that many versions, for that long, is where a lot of our opinions about what ages well come from.

You can hire one dedicated React engineer to extend your team, or a full pod — React plus backend, mobile, QA and a PM — to own a build end to end. Hydesq and the HealthTech engagement above were both pod-shaped. Either way, the engineers join your standups, your board and your code reviews. We run integrated, not as a separate offshore track.

Pricing follows our standard dedicated-engineer model, starting at $10k/month for a single senior engineer, with hourly and fixed-price options for shorter or scoped work. React rarely ships alone, so most builds pair it with a backend and often mobile — see Node.js, .NET, React Native and full-stack engineers, all part of our staff augmentation model.
