The Maturing Crypto Job Market

Compared to the last bull cycle, the jobs market is slightly less abundant for candidates looking to enter the industry. But professionals with experience are as well-placed as ever, says Emily Landon, founder of The Crypto Recruiters.

The Talent Pool Expands

Since the last bull market, we've seen a slight fall in the number of crypto jobs available. But, as professional recruiters, we think the market for hiring is as strong as it's ever been, especially for experienced candidates. If you are fortunate enough to have been in crypto for three or more years, this is a prime job market for you.

Demand for Specialized Talent

Companies are looking for candidates with a track record and specialization. Our advice: Stay in your lane and avoid being the generalist. Competition in hiring roles for protocol engineers and developer relations leaders is stronger than ever due to the rise in expectation of industry experience and demand for core company roles that make up founding teams.

Leveraging the Crypto Community

Crypto twitter remains a great outlet for gaining credibility through personal brand building. We know many candidates that get contacted personally by CEOs and executives through X personal accounts. Staying active on X, attending conferences, and leveraging your specialization in your experience will be the best way to position yourself in this market.

Embracing the Crypto Culture

Our advice: Lean into the warm crypto culture and never forget the strength of the community this industry was built on. After a recent layoff at Matter Labs, the co-founder posted on X the letter he sent to employees accounting the difficult decision. Comments from executives and hiring managers flooded the reply section with support and opportunities for those affected.
