For Candidates

With over five decades of combined experience in headhunting, we’ve effectively propelled Web3 companies from inception to a team of 100. Our expertise spans from recruiting entire C-suites to assembling teams of engineers and operational staff. We specialize in a salary range typically between $100,000 and $500,000. Our clientele is diverse, ranging from billion-dollar asset managers in the Far East, London, and Abu Dhabi to government-affiliated blockchain enterprises and over 50 emerging crypto startups.

Our guiding principle is simple: we conduct top-tier business in a first-class manner. If this resonates with your values, you’ve discovered the perfect match. Welcome aboard.

For companies

We are guided by two principles: First, we rise and fall together, so always have a long-term view. Second, we do first-class business only in a first-class way.

We prioritise stakeholders who understand that recruiting great candidates requires exceptional social, psychological, and selling skills. At Workincrypto, we conduct thorough searches (like detectives), logically interpret data to understand someone’s behaviour, and use a metric-driven hiring system not only to hire but also to ensure those hires stay in your company for a long time.

That’s why major players like the Qatari government-owned beIN Group, $12 billion asset managers, and the world-famous PSG football clubs as well as Tier one players like OKX retain us to hire Web3 Leaders. We do not stop there; we cater to startups hiring engineers, compliance, marketing, and operational staff.

We have been doing this since 2019; you can trust us to employ us exclusively on your most demanding hiring challenges.

    Marios Mamzeris

    Chief Operations Officer & Blockchain Director at Confidential client

  • “There are still few comms professionals in the crypto space and, as such, we tend to get hounded by recruiters quite aggressively, with a one-size-fits-all approach. Though flattering to an extent, this can be quite unpleasant. Sam and his team do things differently. It was all about dialogue, about matching my needs, expectations, priorities and personality with those of the team that I’m currently working with and absolutely adore. A perfectly tailored service, with no pressure, no FOMO tactics, full transparency, updates every step of the way. They worked as much for me as for their client and I could not recommend them highly enough. This is a sustainable way to recruit and one that will no doubt help cement their reputation as leaders in the competitive field that tech and blockchain recruitment is.”

He is always very responsive both in and outside working hours, even at weekends, and his work ethic helped up to solve our staffing issues in a rapidly evolving, fast pace industry. I would recommend him to any organisation within the Crypto space looking to hire tech and non-tech candidates at scale.”
