Why React CVs don't tell you enough

React is the most common skill on front-end CVs, which makes it the hardest to screen by keyword. Many candidates have followed a course; fewer have built and maintained an app with routing, data fetching, state and tests.

ViewSkill looks at the React projects a developer owns, the stack around them (TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind, testing libraries) and how actively they work on them, then ranks people by depth instead of by how often the word React appears.

What a strong React profile shows

Complete apps

Projects with routing, data fetching and real state, not a single to-do list or a course clone.

TypeScript by default

Typed components and hooks are the norm on professional React teams.

Component quality

Reusable components, accessible markup and tests (Testing Library, Playwright) separate seniors from juniors.

Shipped and maintained

Deployed demos and steady commits show someone who finishes things.

Questions

How does ViewSkill check a React developer's skills?
It reads the public repositories the developer owns on GitHub: which React projects they built, how recently they pushed, how the code is structured and whether other people use it. Each verified skill gets a level from Familiar to Expert, with the repos behind it linked so you can check.
Do I need to be technical to hire a React developer this way?
No. You describe the role in plain English and every candidate comes with a one-paragraph verdict and a 0 to 100 score. You can forward the report to an engineer, but you don't need one to shortlist.
What about developers whose best work is private?
ViewSkill only sees public code, so it can miss strong people who work in closed repos. Use it to find and rank the people with visible evidence, and use the built-in coding test for candidates who have little public code.
How much does it cost?
The first search is free and needs no credit card. After that, every search, report or outreach draft costs one credit; paid plans add a monthly credit allowance.
