What to look for in a JavaScript freelancer
A strong JavaScript developer understands the language itself, async behavior, scope, and the event loop, not just one framework. Look for:
- Real language fundamentals: closures, promises, async/await, and scope.
- Comfort with modern syntax, ES modules, and clean, readable code.
- Debugging discipline, using dev tools instead of guessing at fixes.
- Framework flexibility, able to work in React, Vue, or plain JavaScript as needed.
- Testing habits, so changes ship without breaking what already worked.
Ask a candidate to explain a tricky async bug they fixed. How they describe the debugging process reveals far more than a list of frameworks.
