DeFi Recruitment: Executive Search for Crypto & Blockchain Roles
DeFi Recruitment is an executive search firm specializing in the crypto, DeFi, and blockchain sectors. We connect high-caliber finance, marketing, business services, and software professionals with leading organizations. The most useful thing to know is we focus on mid-to-senior level roles, often requiring deep industry expertise.
Who pays DeFi Recruitment
Retained by the employer, not by you.
DeFi Recruitment is paid by the hiring company, often on retainer before anyone is placed. They are working one specific mandate for that company, not managing your search.
What that means for you
Being wrong for this mandate is not a verdict on you. Stay reachable for the next one, and be straight about salary and timing so you are not shortlisted for a brief you would turn down.

Where you meet
How does DeFi Recruitment's executive search process work for candidates?
Our executive search process begins with a confidential discussion to understand your career aspirations and expertise. If a relevant opportunity exists or is anticipated, we'll conduct a thorough assessment of your fit for the role and client. Should we jointly decide to proceed, we will present your profile discreetly to our client. We manage all interview coordination and provide feedback throughout the process, aiming for a transparent and supportive experience.
What can I expect once I engage with DeFi Recruitment?
We prioritize clear and consistent communication, providing updates on your candidacy status at key stages of the search process. Our engagements are typically contingency-based, meaning our fees are paid by the hiring company upon successful placement, not by the candidate. While timelines vary based on client needs and candidate availability, we strive to keep you informed of expected durations for active searches.

Frequently asked questions
Who pays DeFi Recruitment's fees?
Our recruitment fees are paid exclusively by the hiring companies, not by the candidates. This is standard practice for executive search firms operating on a contingency basis.
Should I register with multiple recruitment agencies?
While you are welcome to work with multiple agencies, we recommend informing us if you are actively engaged with others on a specific role. This helps us coordinate effectively and avoid miscommunication with clients.
What happens to my CV and personal data?
Your CV and data are handled with strict confidentiality. We only share your profile with client organizations after obtaining your explicit consent for a specific role. Your information is stored securely and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Should I still apply directly if I see a role on a company website?
If you see a role advertised directly by a company we represent, it's often beneficial to inform us. We can potentially add value by providing insights or ensuring your application is considered within the context of our search mandate.
