About RareTalent

RareTalent is the recruitment brand of RareSkills, the leading engineering Web3 education platform.

Save 60% on recruiter fees with our candidate sourcing

Our fee is only 8% compared to the industry norm of 20-25%.

Recruiters typically find engineers by doing a lot of outbound marketing, which is resource-intensive.

At RareTalent, the best engineers come to us because we provide industry-leading education materials for free. Additionally, highly motivated engineers pay to join our bootcamps and level up, which gives us a fantastic pool of engineers to recruit from.

Here’s how one engineer at OpenZeppelin described our content:

I’ve read @RareSkills_io posts for reference quite often even for @OpenZeppelin contracts. It’s crazy how this PhD level content is out there nerd snipping us for free.

Glad to see this 🫶🏻 https://t.co/yCDZnNVQDS

Open source thrives on community engagement. It's great to see @RareSkills_io, the leading blockchain education platform, encouraging community writers to contribute articles on OpenZeppelin Contracts.

Thanks, RareSkills!

Keep going with the good work. https://t.co/qwC2lDWI1e

Our Fees

Engineering recruiters typically charge 20-25% to source engineers. We charge far less at 8%.

We aren't dependent on our recruitment business to stay afloat

RareSkills makes money through tuition for the bootcamps and grants from large tech platforms to create technical education content about their technology. Since we are already a profitable business, we aren’t reliant on recruitment fees to stay afloat. This allows us to provide a better deal for you.

We charge 8% of the first year salary as our fee.
If you decide to terminate employment of the candidate within 60 days because of poor performance, we will find a replacement or provide a 100% refund.
We do not have an exclusivity agreement.
