Cryptohire - Hire blockchain developers, pay them in crypto

by

Cryptohire gives ICO-backed startups access to the decentralized pool of blockchain engineering talent. You can't find these devs on UpWork, Blockgeeks or other portals, because they're full-time employed at top European dev shops. Cryptohire makes it possible to hire them on a long-term basis and pay them in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or your own token.

Hi everyone! We at YouTeam are excited to announce a new way for blockchain startups to find top blockchain engineers: Cryptohire. With the boom in startup ICOs, there has been an increased demand for developers to help get things off the ground. However, that demand is being throttled by a limited supply of talent, especially when you consider that blockchain technology is in its infancy. When we founded YouTeam, it was based on the opportunity to help remove the barrier that comes with hiring a remote software engineer. We built Cryptohire with the same goal: how can we enable companies create great products by connecting them with reliable, trustworthy blockchain engineers and agencies, in a matter of minutes instead of weeks? Cryptohire helps startups overcome the issue of finding skilled, experienced blockchain engineers, backed by the same vetting process and quality guarantee that we offer with YouTeam. And if you hadn’t guessed by now, all engineers can be paid in cryptocurrencies :) Look forward to hearing your feedback! Anton

Seems really cool. I see, here in NYC, everyone is looking for engineers with blockchain experience. Great space to be in. Possible to be paid in old-fashioned dollars?

@codecamcode Hi Cam! Thanks for your feedback! Absolutely - after you do the search you can find the currency switcher at the top of each page, just click on the $ sign :)

What's the number one reason to hire a blockchain experienced engineer over a really great engineer who can probably pickup blockchain engineering easily?
Anton Mishchenko

@art_chang thanks for your question! I did actually pose the very same question to some founders of blockchain startups. I'd say the main reason is that a "blockchain experienced engineer" has been exposed in the past to this rapidly changing technological landscape in the space while remaining committed and aligned with the community's values. It's true that you can get, say, a JS developer to become a Solidity developer in a relatively short time, but when Solidity goes and new technology comes what's the value of that engineer going to be for your project?
Arthur Chang
@anton_mishchenko that is good insight. I agree, the biggest reason does seem to be interest in the tech and values blockchain brings. Also, the point about a JS only developer can probably be said about any type of work.

Hiring devs is definitely an issue right now in the blockchain space, particularly because it's evolving so rapidly. What's your process for verifying skill level in dev candidates? And how do you typically source your candidate pool?

@nneuman Hi Nick! Thanks for asking! We leverage a talent pool not many other platforms managed to get into and therefore you can rarely find our candidates anywhere else! We work with hundreds of agencies (consultancies, dev shops etc.) that vet and hire local talent in their respective territories, manage them and therefore know their skillset and availability. Then they reveal this information on our platform on developers' profiles. In practice this means that we only have to vet agencies when onboarding them rather than all individual specialists on the platform.

That’s not simply a recruitment platform to hire better talent. It’s more about the community we build around. The community of like-minded people who believe that blockchain technology could eventually be more important than the internet. And with Cryptohire, we make it much easier to find and connect with those blockchain developers who will build better products indeed.
