If you tried googling the term or searched freelance platforms, you may have noticed that the term Angular is sometimes used interchangeably with AngularJS. That is a major red flag and may hinder your search for the best Angular developer. AngularJS is the earlier version of Angular that is currently in use. In fact, Angular is the umbrella term for all new versions (2-9). Angular 2 was a complete rewrite of AngularJS.
