How they decide what belongs in state
The most common cause of unmaintainable React is state living in the wrong place. Ask them to explain a decision they got wrong.
FRONTEND
Hire React Developersfrom India, for your team.
React engineers who can do more than assemble components: state that stays predictable as the app grows, rendering that holds up on real devices, and interfaces that remain accessible under a deadline.
WHAT THEY DOWhat our React engineers
What our React engineers
are responsible for.
Written as the work, not as a keyword list. If your role needs something outside this, tell us and we will say whether we can staff it.
- Build and maintain component libraries other engineers can use without asking questions
- Manage client and server state without turning every feature into a refactor
- Keep bundle size and render performance inside a budget
- Deliver interfaces that work with a keyboard and a screen reader, not only a mouse
- Integrate with APIs and handle the loading, error and empty states properly
EVALUATING CANDIDATESWhat to probe for
What to probe for
in a React interview.
This is useful whether or not you hire through us. A better-run interview gets you a better engineer either way.
What they do about re-renders
Reaching for memo everywhere is as much a red flag as never measuring. Look for someone who profiles before optimizing.
How they handle a form
Forms expose everything: validation, accessibility, error states, submission handling. A good React engineer has opinions here.
Their approach to testing UI
Ask what they test and what they deliberately do not. Coverage targets are a weaker signal than judgment.
THE TRAP
A polished portfolio screenshot demonstrates neither accessibility nor how the interface behaves when the API is slow. Ask what happens on a failed request.
HOW WE SCREEN
Evidence, not keywords.
We assess React engineers on a realistic component and state problem rather than algorithm puzzles, and ask them to explain the trade-off they accepted. You receive our screening notes alongside the resume.

WHY TRUST A NEW FIRMWe are new.
We are new.
So we carry the risk, not you.
Hexalabs is early. We would rather say that than imply a history we do not have — you would find out anyway, and it would cost us the engagement. Instead, here is what we commit to in writing so trying us costs you very little.
A two weeks paid pilot
Start with a two-week paid pilot on real work from your backlog. At the end you decide whether to continue, with no further obligation and no notice period to serve. You will have seen the code, the communication and the pace before committing to anything longer.
Free replacement in the first 30 days
If an engineer is not working out in the first 30 days, we replace them at our cost, including the handover. You do not pay twice for the same seat, and you do not run the hiring process again.
Two weeks notice, always
Engagements run on two weeks notice. If it is not working, you are not trapped in it. We would rather you left early than stayed unhappy and told people about it.
You interview everyone
You interview every engineer before they join, and nobody is placed without your yes. Our screening notes come with each profile so you can see what we assessed and judge it yourself.
These terms go into your contract, not just onto this page. Ask us for them in writing before you commit to anything.
NEXT STEPTell us the role.
Tell us the role.
We will come back with profiles.
Two fields to start. The more you tell us about the work, the closer the first set of profiles will be.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITYGood questions.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Still deciding? A short conversation is usually faster than another round of research.

Either. A single engineer joins your existing team under staff augmentation, working your process and your sprint. If you need the surrounding roles too — design, QA, DevOps — a dedicated team is usually the better shape, and we will say so rather than selling you more people than the work needs.
An overlap window with your working day is agreed before anyone starts, and it is written into the engagement rather than left to goodwill. Tell us the hours you need covered and we will tell you honestly whether we can staff them.
IP assignment is set out in the contract before work begins. Confirm the specific terms with us in writing — this is exactly the kind of thing that should never be assumed.
