React developers vetted for the Hooks era.
Modern React placements need more than “knows React.” Server Components, Suspense data flow, hydration tradeoffs, design-system discipline, build performance — the surface is wider than it was. sourceBOLD screens every applicant against your role, then meets each candidate, contacts their references and reviews their code before you see them.
Screened for your role, then met by us.
Every applicant answers questions about their skills, experience and how they like to work, and is ranked against your role. Only the applicants who come through screening move on to our review.
We meet every candidate before you do and check their English, so you know they can hold their own in your standups and code reviews. We also confirm their React experience is what they say it is.
We contact their references and review their code, so you aren’t taking their résumé on trust.
3.9% of applicants make it through screening and our review. The full process is in how we vet candidates.
Week 1 — shipping by Friday.
- DAY 1Repo access, dev environment running, SOW kickoff doc reviewed. Standup attendance starts on day one.
- DAY 2–4Picks up a “good first issue” — typically a UI polish ticket or a self-contained bugfix. Your tech lead reviews the PR. Comms happen in your team’s existing Slack + standup rhythm — no sourceBOLD-side intermediary.
- DAY 5First feature ship — typically something that touches both client + server code so the next PR has more surface area to lean into.
- WEEK 2+Real feature work. Integrates into the standup and code-review rotations. Treated like a full member of the team — because that’s what they are.
The contracting layer sits underneath all of this. From your team’s day-to-day, the developer is a React contractor on Slack. The cross-border tax shape, the bi-weekly invoice cycle, the cross-border payout to the developer — those are sourceBOLD’s operational concerns, not your team’s.
Side-by-side, where each model fits.
Pick by the situation, not by the pitch.
- Pick in-house if you need a full-time React engineer with benefits, equity, and an at-will employment relationship.
- Pick a US-based contractor if you need US-only data residency or a very short engagement (under four weeks).
- Pick sourceBOLD if you need mid-level or senior React capacity on month-to-month engagement, with published pricing and 4–8 hours of US time-zone overlap — typical Series-A-to-C scaling scenario.
Scale your team.
Surge ahead.
One intro call, no sales pitch. Pre-vetted finalists, not a stack of résumés. First standup in weeks, not months.
