What to look for in a Node.js developer

Node.js is a platform on which JavaScript code can run on the server-side. Node.js is connected to JavaScript.

When searching for a Node.js developer, there are several factors a recruiter has to take into account. First and foremost, your developer candidate must have a very good knowledge of JavaScript, the programming language that Node.js uses. In addition, they should be familiar with backend programming issues, patterns, problems, and solutions. Knowing JavaScript and how to write code is one thing, but knowing the ins and outs of Node.js and what to write in relation to backend issues, is quite another. A healthy balance of the two would be ideal.

Frequently asked questions

What is RealLifeTesting?

The RealLifeTesting methodology is the secret to our DevSkiller Node.js online testing. This one-of-a-kind testing model provides recruiters with a holistic view of an applicant’s skills.

Successful candidates from each Node.js technical test, are those who can demonstrate their skills with coding and can show an understanding of how to access resources like Stack Overflow. They are assessed on their critical thinking, problem-solving and time-management skills.

How are Node.js online tests evaluated?

Evaluation for our Node.js interview questions happens automatically. Testing is carried out remotely and once the candidate is finished with their test, the DevSkiller platform gets to work. The evaluation takes place automatically and the candidate has then assessed the answers they have provided and the quality of their code. This also includes any mistakes in the code and if the solutions would work in edge cases. Automatic reports are then generated and sent to the recruiter with easy to follow results of each test. Answers are also automatically cross-checked for plagiarism to eliminate any chance of an unfair advantage.
