React is the most common frontend stack in Indian product companies, so there's no shortage of developers who list it. The hard part is finding the ones who can build a fast, accessible interface that holds up on a mid-range Android phone on a patchy network, not just wire components together.

What to look for in a React developer
The signals that separate strong candidates from resumes that only list the right keywords.
Shipped, live work
Links to production apps or sites they built. Ten minutes on a real interface tells you more than a resume line.
Performance instincts
Can they explain why a page is slow and what they'd do about bundle size, re-renders or images?
TypeScript and state
Comfort with TypeScript and a clear view on when to reach for global state, server state or neither.
Accessibility basics
Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation and labels. It's a reliable signal of care for craft.
A simple interview loop
Four steps, done within a week or two, is enough for most React developer hires and keeps good candidates from accepting another offer first.
- A 30-minute intro with the hiring manager about a project they're proud of.
- A practical round: build or fix a small component with real data loading and error states.
- A debugging or performance conversation on a slow page.
- A final conversation with the team on collaboration with design and backend.

“We closed a Senior Backend Engineer role in 4 days. Normally that takes 6 weeks. The AI ranking surfaced exactly what I asked for — right experience, right stack, right seniority level. No recruiter middleman, no noise.”

CTO · early-stage fintech
“As an EM at a Series B, I don't have time for 300-resume batches. Switchly gave me 8 qualified candidates on day one. Three of them were stronger than anyone a recruiter ever sent me — at zero cost.”

Post Your First Job FreeFrequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a React developer in India?
Salary depends mostly on experience: from our React salary guide, mid-level developers (3–6 years) typically earn ₹13–24 LPA and senior developers (6–10 years) ₹24–42 LPA, with Bengaluru at the top of the range. On top of salary, a recruitment agency usually charges a placement fee; posting on Switchly is free.
Should I hire a React developer or a full stack developer?
If most of the work is UI and you already have backend engineers, hire a React specialist. If you're an early team and one person needs to ship features end to end, a full stack developer with strong React is usually the better first hire.
How do I hire React developers on Switchly?
Post the role free (up to 10 active jobs). Engineers apply, and each applicant gets a 0–100 AI fit score against your JD with matched skills, missing skills and the reasoning shown, sorted best-first. Shortlist the ones you like and, if you've added a Calendly link, it's sent to them automatically.
Is Switchly a recruitment agency?
No. Switchly doesn't source, vet or place candidates for you, and it doesn't handle payroll, contracts or visas. It's a job board and applicant-ranking tool: you post the role, engineers apply, and you decide who to hire. That's why there's no placement fee.
