Hiring front-end developers through Tunga

Frontend developer database

Every day Tunga receives applications from software engineers across Africa, allowing us to find the best candidates for all popular technologies and frameworks. Javascript being sort of a standard requirement, we have over 300 experienced frontend programmers in our database.

Frontend testing

Upon applying with us, each developer has to perform a range of tests, including both technical and soft skills tests. Based on your requirements, we present you a list of candidates that fit your needs. If it is Angular or React you need, they will have been thoroughly tested on their Angular / React skills. Optionally, we can do extra tests, including tests provided by you.

Getting started

Once you hire front-end developers through us, they will be part of your team so you manage them directly. From our side we will make sure that all conditions are created for your collaboration to be successful: briefing, tools, infrastructure and a joint kick-off. Also, we will take care of all administrative matters, such as payments, legal issues and fiscal compliance.

Continuity

When the engineer is on assignment with you we will keep in close touch to make sure everything goes smoothly. You will be assigned a Talent Manager who will regularly check in with both you and the developer(s) and will troubleshoot if necessary. If somehow the collaboration doesn’t work out, we can quickly help you find an alternative.
