This makes it necessary for developers to actually know AngularJS inside-out, and not just be a great JavaScript programmer.

A great JavaScript developer is good for an AngularJS based project. However, what is great is a JavaScript developer who is well versed on the best practices that are critical to building AngularJS web applications properly. When you are looking for an expert AngularJS developer, posting a generic JavaScript developer job ad will bring in numerous applications from candidates who may be strong at programming in JavaScript, but barely have any knowledge of AngularJS.

This article will provide you with a sample AngularJS developer job description that will help you write a perfect job ad, and assure that you find and hire the person that matches your specific criteria.
