What a Frontend Developer does

They turn designs into fast, polished interfaces people love to use. Day to day that means:

Building responsive UI from Figma designs

Creating reusable components and design systems

Optimizing performance, accessibility, and cross-browser behavior

Wiring the UI to APIs and handling state

A strong one sweats the details users feel. Most teams hire one once the product needs a UI that looks and moves right.

A recruiter's fee scales with the salary, so the better the hire, the more it costs you. On Scout OS it's flat. $1,999 is $1,999 whether the person earns $40,000 or $120,000.
