About Us
Built by the people who trained the engineers you're trying to hire.
RareTalent grew out of RareSkills, because companies kept asking us where they could find more engineers like the ones in
our community.
How We Started
We didn't set out to build
a recruitment agency.
RareSkills started as a technical education platform, focused on smart contract engineering, protocol security, and the kind of advanced blockchain content that most courses don't touch. Over time, companies started reaching out. Not for courses. For engineers.
They'd seen who was engaging with our content, who was completing our bootcamps, and who was asking the hard questions in our community. They wanted those people on their teams.
We started making introductions informally. Then the requests grew beyond smart contract roles. Companies needed backend engineers, infrastructure engineers, ZK specialists, security researchers. So we built RareTalent as a proper service around what was already happening organically.
We didn't build this to chase a market opportunity. We built it because the need was already there and we were already the right people to fill it.
Why We're Different
We're not recruiters who learned about Web3. We're Web3 people who learned to recruit.
Domain Expertise
We understand the work
RareSkills publishes some of the most advanced technical content in the blockchain space read by Protocol Leads, Lead Auditors, and Senior Engineers at Tier 1 companies. When we evaluate a candidate, we understand what they're actually saying.
Quality Over Volume
We're not fee-dependent
RareSkills generates its own revenue through education. That means RareTalent doesn't need to optimize for placement volume. We optimize for fit, because our reputation matters more than any single fee.
Open Education
You're funding a public good
RareSkills content is completely free. No email required, no paywall. When you hire through RareTalent, the fee goes back into creating more high quality, freely accessible technical education. You're not just making a hire. You're helping the ecosystem get better.
Our Mission
To raise the hiring standard in Web3.
The space moves fast and the technical bar keeps rising. Companies need engineers who don't just ship features, but understand the systems they're building on, the security implications of every decision, and the responsibility that comes with deploying code that handles real value.
