Which JavaScript developers we recruit

JavaScript is used for web and mobile apps, server applications, browser scripts, widgets and games. It started as a language for interfaces; today it also runs the back-end. So “JS developer” in a vacancy can mean different roles:

Front-end

Back-end

Full-stack

JavaScript and Java are different languages with different specialists. For a Java developer, see Java developer recruitment.

Where we find JavaScript developers

There are more Junior JS developers on the market than Middle and Senior ones. Juniors answer a vacancy with clear requirements; Middle and Senior developers are usually employed, so we search our database, LinkedIn, GitHub and professional communities and headhunt. Public code on GitHub shows a strong candidate’s level before the first call.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a JavaScript developer through GlobalStaff?

The fee is 50% of one monthly salary of the JavaScript developer you hire. For example, at a salary of $2,500 the fee is $1,250. You pay after the developer starts work; there is no prepayment.

How fast will you send candidates?

We send the first candidates within a few business days after we agree the requirements and sign the contract. The time depends on seniority, stack, salary range and how fast your interviews go. We name the expected timing after the brief.

What is the difference between a JavaScript developer and a Java developer?

They are different languages and different specialists. JavaScript runs website and app interfaces and, with Node.js, the server side; Java is used for corporate systems, back-end and Android. We recruit both; Java has its own page.

Front-end or full-stack JavaScript developer: how to choose?

If your team already has a back-end developer, you usually need front-end. If the product is small and one person writes both interface and server, a full-stack developer on JavaScript and Node.js fits. We decide this at the brief from the first months’ tasks.

Can you find a remote developer or someone in another Ukrainian city?

Yes. We search across Ukraine, for office and remote roles. We meet candidates from Kyiv at our office and interview candidates from Kharkiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro and other cities online.

What happens if the developer leaves in the first month?

If the developer leaves or does not fit within the first 30 days, we find a replacement at no extra charge.
