How to shortlist Angular professionals
As you’re browsing available Angular consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Technology fit. You want an Angular developer who understands the specific Angular libraries and other technologies needed to bring your project to life.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., server-side rendering with Angular Universal).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular Angular developer.
How to write an effective Angular job post
With a clear picture of your ideal Angular developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective Angular job post should include:
- Scope of work: From SPAs to Angular components, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain libraries or developer tools, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
