We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

1- A chat with one of our great recruiters.2- A zoom chat with one of our React developer colleagues where they will ask you detailed questions about your knowledge and your experience3- A Face to Face interview (either in our office or via Zoom). ​​During this interview, we will dig even deeper, and you will have a pair programming task to do. 

But don’t worry; everything will be explained to you step by step by your recruiter. 

Here is a little tip for you during those stages:
