Find the best site to hire the right Front-end developers in under 60 seconds.

Toptal is a professional talent matching service, initially created with only tech talent in mind. Although it has expanded its pool of talent to include designers and finance experts, the company's bread and butter is its developer vertical. If you want to be sure that a front-end developer is up to the job, hiring an exceptional developer from Toptal is likely your best option.

Why? Toptal boasts an elite developer base. Their trademark system for vetting talent allows for only the best to become a part of their community. According to Toptal, only 3% of applicants make it through their battery of technical tests and their comprehensive vetting process.

There are a handful of job boards dedicated to remote jobs, from Remoteok.io to Flex Jobs. One of the best spots to find web developers, UX designers, and programmers is a fairly well-known site, We Work Remotely. Finding freelance front-end developers, interns, and full-time employees is relatively easy on We Work Remotely.

If you're open to contracting remote front-end developers, We Work Remotely can be a great place to begin your search. Keep in mind that you will have to spend a great deal of time, money, and effort vetting and interviewing candidates yourself, however. We Work Remotely won't do any of the screening for you.

Hired helps employers find software engineers and developers. On Hired, you can use their pipeline to find custom matches. You can create a company profile, search for candidates using their search algorithm (which can eliminate gender and racial identifiers for fairer hiring), and request interviews with candidates.

What's best about Hired? It's great for finding specialized front-end developers who are actively searching for new opportunities, have relevant experience (as most candidates on Hired have at least two years of experience), and are in your area.

Don't waste your time perusing large job boards like Monster and Indeed. You'll have far better luck with job boards geared toward tech talent. GitHub has a massive developer community as it's one of the largest open-source online repositories for coders. For a relatively small fee, you can post a front-end developer job listing and gain a great deal of exposure on GitHub's huge developer community.

Stack Overflow has an online community that rivals GitHub. Arguably, it's the absolute largest and most trusted community of developers on the web. Stack Overflow is often used as a resource for all kinds of developers, novice to expert, seeking to learn more about coding. Their job board, like GitHub's, allows for an incredible amount of exposure to dedicated front-end developers around the world.

If recruiting services and job boards aren't your thing, you might want to consider a freelance marketplace like Upwork.

Upwork has one of the largest marketplaces with millions of registered freelancers. You can hire contractors for a few simple coding tasks or begin a long-term relationship with a series of complex front-end projects. If you like the idea of finding, interviewing, and managing freelancers, Upwork's colossal marketplace will likely meet your needs.

People Per Hour is another freelance marketplace akin to Upwork. What makes People Per Hour unique is that it holds contests and allows Freelancers to post their own job postings called hourlies.

People Per Hour has millions of members, thousands of confirmed hours, and a plethora of success stories from freelancers and entrepreneurs alike. The ease of posting jobs, contacting freelancers, and paying for hours worked makes People Per Hour a superb choice for employers interested in searching for and vetting freelance candidates themselves.

Additionally, with People Per Hour, you can connect with local freelancers, so you aren't necessarily limited to remote talent.

Dice is a well-established tech and IT job board with 3 million registered tech professionals. Dice boasts high traffic to its site with over 2.4 million unique visitors a month.

Posting a job listing will be a little more expensive than niche job boards as a single job listing costs approximately $400. The price shouldn't deter employers too much, however. The exposure your job listing will receive will more than justify the price of the listing.

Gun.io has a growing community of developers over 25,000 strong. Like Toptal, their service is designed to take the tedium out of hiring. Gun.io vets their talent and ensures that their freelancers are committed to each and every project.

Gun.io prides itself on its humanism. Every employer is connected with a VP, instead of a sales representative, and freelancers are provided with the resources to succeed.

What's most alluring about the network? Gun.io manages and replaces talent – with no risk to you – and back every single hour worked with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Guru has a large global network of freelancers—albeit smaller than Upwork's and People Per Hour's massive pool. You can explore the profiles of 1.5 million gurus, propose projects, and pay your hired talent with their secure SafePay system.

Guru isn't focused on developers, let alone front-end developers, as it is a freelance network comprised of every sort of professional. So, like with Upwork and People Per Hour, you'll have to narrow your search yourself. Also, as with many freelance networks, the vetting and interviewing will be up to you.

Freelancer is an absolutely massive marketplace with 25 million registered users, 12 million total posted jobs, and thousands of completed projects. With the size of the marketplace comes a unique challenge, however. Finding the perfect front-end developer is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Although website development is one of the most popular job categories on Freelancer, you still will have to search through thousands of Freelancer profiles, vet and interview candidates yourself, and manage payments yourself.

If you're looking for an affordable option, however, Freelancer is a wonderful hiring solution. For more long-term commitments, you'll want to consider matching services like Toptal, Codeable.io, or Gun.io.

CodePen is a popular repository for open-source code, famous for its pleasing user interface. It's used primarily by front-end developers coding in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Since it is such popular tool for front-end developers, its job board could be useful to employers seeking talented, driven, and self-motivated front-end developers.

Authentic Jobs is a job board for leading web, design, and creative talent. It has been steadily rising in popularity since its inception; the board is used by The New York Times as part of its acquisition process.

As front-end development often involves both creative and technical aspects, Authentic Jobs is a great place to begin your search. Much of their job board is populated with listings of front-end, web, and mobile developer positions which are likely similar to your own needs.

Authentic Jobs allows for posting developer positions remote or local, so you won't be limited to remote employees or freelancers.

X-Team matches you with qualified front-end developers who receive mentorship and educational resources just for being a part of X-Team. Like Toptal and Gun.io, they do the heavy lifting of hiring. You won't be saddled with rifling through resumes or preparing personalized interview scripts.

The major downside of using X-Team is that, as their name suggests, they are adept at organizing teams. If you're only looking to hire an individual Front-end developer, you'll want to use a different matching service.

Working Nomads curates lists of remote job offerings for a variety of careers. As with other remote job boards, development is the largest career category by far, so it can be a good place to find front-end developers at a relatively affordable rate.

As with all job boards, vetting and interviewing candidates will be solely up to you. If this doesn't scare you off, then Working Nomads may be a solution to your hiring issue.

Remote.co is a large job board that features job listings remote positions. Accounting, customer service, design, development, healthcare, HR, IT, marketing, and QA are only a few of the job categories you're able to peruse. However, Remote.co doesn't have as large as a community as We Work Remotely and doesn't provide you with a more refined searching system for front-end developers.

For those reasons, Remote.co didn't make the cut. Still, if you're looking to where to hire remote front-end developers, Remote.co may be worth your time.
