What is a Node.js specialist?

A Node.js specialist is a software or programming developer that has specialist knowledge and experience working with Javascript in the open-source server environment. A Node.js specialist has extensive skills in creating, developing, and working with APIs as well as using Node.js to create single-threaded programming.

Is the Node.js test difficult?

As with other pre-employment assessments, most of the difficulty of the Node.js test comes from the unfamiliarity with the structure and layout, and the test pressure including a time limit. For someone who is confident in the use of Node.js, the content of the assessment should not be too challenging.

What other skills are required for Node.js?

Node.js specialists and developers usually need to be proficient in using JavaScript and aware of different developing environments, both front end and back end. Node.js requires logical thinking to program, and the ability to see the wider business picture for the best designs.

Why is knowledge of Node.js important?

Node.js is a popular piece of open-source software, and it is widely used in many different tech roles. It is also quite a particular piece of engineering that needs specialist knowledge to operate, and this knowledge should be tested before a developer is hired to be sure that the candidate has what it takes to be successful.

BEFORE YOU START

Your Node.js questions, answered.

Do candidates write code in the Node.js test?

This assessment checks Node.js knowledge through questions. Add a practical coding task and code review when you need evidence of how candidates build, test and maintain working code.

Which Node.js topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers javascript on the server, asynchronous programming, server-side applications. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine Node.js with other tests?

Yes. Add Node.js alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.

Can I assess real candidates for free?

Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.

What happens after my free results?

You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.

How should I use the Node.js results?

Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
