Web development is the largest early-career technical pool in India and the easiest one to screen well, because the work is public by nature.
Live from our candidate database
Counted at render time and refreshed every six hours. This is a supply-side view of one platform, not a national labour-market statistic.
Skills present in this pool
Deployed, not just committed
A repository shows intent; a live URL shows completion. The gap between candidates who finish and candidates who start is the widest distribution in this pool, and deployment is the cheapest proxy for it.
Component and state reasoning
Ask why a piece of state lives where it does. Candidates who learned by copying answer with syntax; candidates who understood answer with a reason.
Fundamentals still separate
Responsive behaviour and basic accessibility are widely skipped in self-directed learning, which makes them a useful discriminator. They are also cheap to teach, so treat them as signal rather than as a gate.
Key takeaways
- Require a deployed URL; finishing is the widest-varying trait in this pool.
- Probe state placement reasoning, not framework syntax.
- Responsive and accessibility fundamentals discriminate well and teach cheaply.
Questions
React, Angular or Vue?+
At early-career level the framework converts in weeks. Screen on reasoning quality and treat the specific framework as a minor preference.
Full stack or specialised?+
Full-stack breadth is common in this pool but often shallow. Decide which half you actually need and screen that half properly.
