With these guidelines in mind, you can design a good interview questionnaire, and even a take home test or a whiteboard test.

Frontend developers may not be knowledeable in algorithms. A lot of them may not even have a computer sciences background. That does not mean that they did not acquire extensive practical and in-depth technical knowledge over the years, but, it is highly unlikely Big-O Notation or algorithms such will help them solve real life UX and UI problems.

If you're so inclined to have a frontend developer entertain you at the whiteboard, pose them a real life problem like, for example

• give them a real life specification and ask them how they would materialize that
• consider they should use pseudo code to represent their ideas. It is not realistic to have somebody actually code working code on a whiteboard (real life developers, we google, and we google a lot). So putting a person under that kind of stress and non-realistic conditions to solve a problem with code, may simply prevent you from hiring a great frontend developer by missing the point of what really matters: How they think and how they solve problems that they WILL have.

I may post technical test ideas, too, later on. And everyone is welcome to collaborate with this repo.

Have a great day!
