Why RareTalent
Hire senior blockchain talent at just 8% finder's fee.
Most recruiters send you a pile of CVs and hope something sticks. We don't work that way. Every engineer in our network has a minimum of 3 years production experience — not hackathons, not side projects. Production grade systems, real stakes. The average engineer we place has 5 years of software engineering experience and at least 3 years working specifically in blockchain.
Exclusively focused on Web3 blockchain talent
Access to 450+ vetted engineers across Solidity, Rust, ZK, TypeScript, Go, Python, and Solana

Global talent pool: US, EU, Asia, and MENA, across every major timezone
Production engineers, not tutorial builders
Our engineers have shipped DeFi protocols with six to nine figure TVL. They've worked across team sizes, from early stage startups to large engineering organizations and know what it means to own a system end to end.
Security engineers with real track records
Our security engineers have competed on Cantina, Immunefi, and Sherlock, placing top 3 and earning five to six figure payouts. They've protected billions in onchain value. They don't just know security theory. They've done the work.
Engineering leaders who've built teams
Engineering leaders in our network have built teams from scratch and scaled them past 20 people. If you're hiring for a leadership role, we have candidates who've done it, not just managed.

If the hire doesn't work out within 60 days, we offer a free replacement or a full refund. No questions asked. We're confident enough in our signal to back it.

Testimonials
What do employers say
RareTalent attracts some great engineers. I believe this is because RareSkills curriculum is very rigorous and attracts folks who are serious about deeply understanding crypto systems. Thank you to the RareTalent team for a great initiative!

YeildNest CEO | Co-founder
Working with RareTalent was an outstanding experience. Within just one day, they sent me multiple high-quality CVs and connected me with incredibly talented candidates at a fraction of the industry rate. The process was smooth, fast, and far beyond my expectations.
Berkay Hacifettahoglu
HyperPNL | Founder
Due to the complexity of what we are building at Aera, we have a very high bar for engineering. After rejecting a large number of candidates, we were able to leverage RareTalent to find a great protocol engineer who we hired and who has already made significant contributions to the product. It didn't hurt that the process was incredibly smooth and the RareTalent team were transparent and flexible right from the start.
Peteris Erins
Auditless | Founder
Hiring is one of the most challenging tasks for a startup founder to get right. Having a team like RareTalent help in this process has been a huge value add to our team. Never before have I worked with a recruiting firm and been completely satisfied with both the quality of candidates and the fee structure. With RareTalent, you can be certain that not only will you receive high-quality candidates, but the placement fee also won't break the bank.
