About

We are a specialized recruitment firm focused on crypto, blockchain, and Web3. Our mission is to connect cutting-edge companies in the decentralized economy with top-tier talent across engineering, product, legal, growth, and executive leadership. We understand the fast-moving, globally distributed, and tech-driven nature of the ecosystem. Our approach blends deep domain knowledge with crypto-native vetting (on-chain presence, GitHub history, DAO participation) and a network spanning 30+ countries.

Why recruiting specifically for Web3?

  • Scarce skills: Solidity, Rust, Golang, cryptography, consensus, MEV—hard to source, harder to evaluate.
  • Crypto-native validation: on-chain contributions, repos, audits, and DAO governance provide stronger signals than résumés.
  • Global & fractional: high-performing teams mix full-time, fractional, and contributors across time zones.
  • Token & compliance aware: offers often include tokens/vesting; roles must align with evolving regulations.
  • Execution speed: shipping through market cycles requires people who’ve built during L1/L2 upgrades and mainnet constraints.
