Cookbook: Frontend Engineer - intervyo.ai

A reusable loop for hiring frontend engineers, tuned toward component design, JavaScript depth, and accessibility — with a take-home review as the closer.

Step 1 — Build the Interviewers (once)

Interviewer	Persona	Scores on
Friendly Screener	”Hi, I’m Riya — a quick chat to get started.”	Motivation, communication, basics
UI & JavaScript Interviewer	”I’m Lena, a senior frontend engineer.”	JS fundamentals, framework patterns, state, performance
Accessibility & Craft Reviewer	”I’m Theo — let’s review your take-home.”	Semantics, a11y, component API design, CSS quality

Step 2 — Create the Role

Role: Senior Frontend Engineer

Objective: “Can this person build accessible, performant UI and reason about component design?”
Skills: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, CSS, Accessibility
Use case: Hiring

Step 3 — Add the Rounds

#	Round	Interviewer	Pass mark	On pass
1	Phone Screen	Friendly Screener	60	Auto-advance
2	UI & JavaScript	UI & JavaScript Interviewer	75	Auto-advance
3	Take-home Review	Accessibility & Craft Reviewer	80	Require reviewer approval

Step 4 — Add candidates and go

Add candidates (or share the apply link) and schedule. For the take-home Round, attach the brief to the Round’s knowledge base so the reviewer interviews against the exact spec you handed out.

Variations

Design-systems focus? Re-weight the UI Interviewer toward component API and accessibility, and add a Round for visual/interaction polish.
Full-stack? Reuse the System Design and Coding Interviewers from the Backend recipe as extra Rounds — same library, different composition.
