The crypto job market is the hottest it's been in 2+ years. I've aggregated the best web3 hiring/job content from the top founders and builders in the space. Read this to understand how crypto founders & builders think:

Made my first hire as an internal recruiter last week!!! -38 first round/screening calls on the calendar last week -8 offers sent out 4 weeks into the role and I have sent ZERO Linkedin recruiter messages. This is the power of relationships in crypto. So grateful 🫡

Personal update: last month I joined @scrib3_co as their Head of Talent, coming in as their first in-house recruiting hire. My main focus will be to ensure that SCRIB3 is attracting and bringing in the top crypto native talent on the market.

I expect hiring in crypto/web3 to rapidly gain momentum in Q1 of 2024. Crypto-native talent will always be in high demand, but demonstrating that effectively is much easier said than done. Here's how to highlight your crypto-nativity during interviews to impress:

After ~2 incredible years at @UpTopSearch my time has come to an end. I will be forever grateful of @dan_uptop & @marty_uptop for taking a huge bet on me and giving me the opportunity to 10x my career. I’ll miss everyone on the team who have become a second family to me and I’m looking forward to seeing the big things you all will achieve this year @fazzam_eth @Joe_zamm1 @Mmullen524. I joined in early 2022, shortly after Dan and Marty’s vision was coming to life, and I leave now, with Up Top clearly in the drivers seat as the best talent agency in crypto for early stage DeFi and crypto projects looking to scale their teams. I want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone I’ve met along the way and worked with. Some of you guys and girls mean the world to me and it’s been an honor to be a resource for you in your various careers. I will always cherish the opportunity to work alongside the brightest builders, founders, degens, anons and people in general, driving this space forward. Thanks for everything anon, ~will

As an agency recruiter, placing a candidate in crypto, in a role they love, is a great feeling and sure - getting paid for it is amazing too. BUT, there is no better feeling than placing a friend in their next role in the space. Being able to support someone in return who has meme'd with you, laughed with you, supported you and won/loss with you during the bear market means everything. I was lucky enough to do it a few times throughout the course of the year and twice in the last month of 2023 - one person a 1st institutional sales hire & the other a CMO, joining initially as an advisor. Here's to many more to come in 2024 🥂

1/ FAKE CANDIDATES & SCAM JOB POSTINGS RUN RAMPANT IN CRYPTO! The largest exploit in all of crypto, totaling over $600 MILLION, occurred in July 2022 due to this very issue. What exactly does this mean and how can you keep yourself safu?

thanks to all the homies who came out for the @UpTopSearch lunch in Austin 🫡
