Frequently asked questions
What does a Front End Developer do day-to-day?
Front End Developers build and maintain the visual and interactive parts of web applications that users see and interact with. Their daily work includes writing and testing JavaScript/TypeScript code, collaborating with designers to implement UI mockups, debugging browser compatibility issues, optimizing page performance, and participating in code reviews. They work closely with backend developers to integrate APIs and with product teams to deliver features on schedule.
What qualifications should I look for when hiring a Front End Developer?
Strong candidates should have 2+ years of professional experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular), solid understanding of HTML5/CSS3, and practical knowledge of responsive design and web accessibility standards. Portfolio work demonstrating real-world projects, familiarity with version control (Git), and experience working in agile environments are valuable. Soft skills like clear communication, attention to detail, and ability to work within teams are equally important for successful placements.
Can ECLARO help me find a Front End Developer quickly?
Yes. ECLARO maintains a network of pre-screened Front End Developers ready for both contract and full-time placement. We handle the entire recruitment process—from vetting technical skills and portfolio assessment to conducting interviews and reference checks. This allows you to onboard qualified talent faster than traditional hiring. Our team works with you to understand your specific technology stack, team dynamics, and project timeline to ensure the right fit.
What's the difference between hiring a contract Front End Developer versus full-time through ECLARO?
Contract developers offer flexibility for project-based work, seasonal scaling, or filling temporary skill gaps without long-term commitment. Full-time placements are ideal when you need dedicated, integrated team members for ongoing product development. ECLARO supports both models—we can provide contract developers for immediate staffing needs or facilitate full-time hires with ongoing support. Our team discusses your business needs to recommend the best engagement model for your situation.
Can we hire front-end developers in the Philippines?

They work in your stack, whether React, Angular or plain JavaScript, and follow your design system and code review process. You pay only for hours worked.
Ways to hire through ECLARO
