CryptoRecruit has placed digital asset talent since 2017, before the first spot ETF, before MiCA, before any bank had a tokenization team. We started with protocol engineers for crypto-native firms. Today most of our senior mandates come from the other direction: banks, asset managers, custodians, payment networks and quant trading firms building digital asset capability, and the crypto-native infrastructure firms selling to them.
The people both sides want are the same people. They have shipped on-chain and they have worked inside, or sold into, regulated finance. That overlap is small. Nine years in the market means we know most of it personally.
We recruit across AI as well as digital assets. The two markets now hire from the same pool of engineers, and the people who can build AI on top of financial and on-chain systems are the hardest hires in either.
We work across Sydney, Dubai, London and remote, with consultants who own a practice area rather than a job board. Senior and regulatory searches run retained and confidential. Engineering hires at volume run contingent.
Retained search. Senior, regulatory and confidential appointments. A named lead, a market map, weekly reporting and a replacement guarantee.
Contingent search. Engineering and mid-level hires at volume. Fee on placement.
Advisory. Salary benchmarking and hiring strategy for teams standing up a digital assets function.
Consultants across Australia, the UAE, Europe and remote, supporting banks, asset managers, custodians, payment networks and crypto-native infrastructure firms across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Each consultant owns a practice area: executive and board, legal, compliance and risk, finance and operations, engineering and security, product and institutional sales.
