Now is the BEST time to Hire in Crypto?
Tuesday Nov 22, 2022
Tuesday Nov 22, 2022
Surprisingly, NOW is a crazy good time for companies that are still hiring in the crypto industry. Here's why I think that's the case:
1. There is more talent on the market. Whether through layoffs, larger companies hiring less talent or just people more interested in making a career move within the industry, there is more talent looking.
2. There is less competition among companies hiring. Simply put, less companies are hiring now, which means better odds for the companies that are.
3. The tourists are gone. If a job seeker is still passionate about the industry after seeing the carnage associated with Luna, Celsius, 3AC, FTX etc, you can be relatively sure they are a mission driven individual. ...
While on the surface it might not seem like it, today is a much better time to be hiring than it was a year ago!
