Vetting
You see two people - not 200 CVs.
Engineers vet engineers
A senior engineer runs a live technical conversation on the candidate's real stack, not a recruiter working from a keyword list.
Live coding, not take-homes
Real problems solved in front of an assessor, with anti-cheating checks. You see how they actually work, not what they submitted overnight.
A full profile, not a CV
Every candidate arrives with a resume, interview summary, coding-test breakdown and rate. You decide on evidence.
Every tab is a stage a candidate has to clear. Six of them, all run by our own internal engineers at Cloud Employee, before you see a name.

01
How much does it cost to hire a TypeScript developer for a US team?
For most roles, the cost is 50 to 75% below the full cost of a comparable US hire, including salary, recruitment fees and overhead. Most clients choose engineers in Eastern Europe, the Philippines or Latin America for comparable talent at a lower cost. TypeScript is now the default for serious web work, so almost every sector, from fintech to retail, competes for the same senior people. Contracts roll monthly with 30 days notice.
02
What is TypeScript and why do teams choose it over JavaScript?
TypeScript is JavaScript with a type system on top. You describe what shape your data is meant to be and the compiler catches where it is not, before anything reaches a user. Teams adopt it at a predictable moment, once the codebase has grown past the point where anyone can safely refactor it. That reasoning has strengthened as more code is generated rather than typed, since types are how you check that confident-looking output fits the system it is joining. A model will happily produce something plausible; the compiler tells you whether it is true.
03
What skills should I look for in a TypeScript developer now?
Systems first, code second. Knowing the syntax is a week's work and a model will write it for you. What separates candidates is whether they can model your domain in types rather than reaching for any to make an error disappear, and whether they understand what a change propagates to. Ask about generics, discriminated unions and where they would draw the line on strictness. Coding fundamentals and testing ability remain essential, but they are now entry requirements rather than what makes someone valuable.
04
How do I assess a TypeScript developer, and what should I ask?
Put badly typed real code in front of them and ask them to improve it, with their usual tools available including AI. You learn more in ten minutes of that than an hour of questions. Ask when they would use any and whether they have regretted it, how they would type an API response they do not control, and what they would migrate first in an untyped codebase. Then hand them generated code that type-checks but is subtly wrong, and see whether they catch it, because that is the actual job now.
05
Are TypeScript developers in demand, and is it still the right choice?
TypeScript has become the default for serious JavaScript work, so demand is high and steady. The market underneath has shifted though, because as tooling absorbs routine work, value has moved toward engineers who can design a system and judge what comes back, rather than those who simply produce code quickly. For a new project it is close to automatic, and the type system is arguably more useful now, since it is the cheapest way to verify code nobody wrote by hand.
06
Do your developers use AI tools, and how do you know the code is sound?
Yes, and in a typed codebase the guardrails are unusually good, because the compiler catches a whole class of confident mistakes before review does. What we assess is judgment over the tooling rather than familiarity with it. That means treating generated code as a first draft, reviewing it as critically as a colleague's, and never committing something the engineer could not explain line by line. It also means recognizing when a model has produced something that compiles and is still wrong for your domain, which types alone will not catch.
07
How does Cloud Employee vet TypeScript developers?
We use AI to augment our own hiring, screening and matching across a great deal of data, but the decision stays human, because recruitment is a human endeavor. Vetting is CTO-led rather than recruiter-driven, so a technical assessment on real typed code, live pair programming with a senior engineer, and a psychometric assessment built for software engineers specifically. In the pairing session we hand over weakly typed code and watch whether the candidate reaches for an escape hatch or models the problem properly, explaining the trade-off as they go.
