Web3 & Crypto
Recruitment & Headhunting
Global

Dedicated headhunting for Web3 and crypto companies hiring globally — from protocol engineers and Solidity developers to compliance leads and C-suite executives.

Discuss a search

A specialist, not a generalist

Most recruitment agencies treat Web3 as a sub-category of IT. I work in this niche full-time — which means I know the difference between a Solidity developer and a Rust protocol engineer, understand what DeFi product experience actually looks like, and have built relationships in the global Web3 community.

If you are a crypto exchange, DeFi protocol, blockchain infrastructure company or Web3 startup hiring globally — this is what I do.

Global reach, niche depth

Unlike ithr.lt — which focuses exclusively on the Baltic market — ithr.space runs searches globally. US, UAE, UK, Singapore, remote-first companies. Web3 talent is distributed; the search should be too.

This also means I can access talent pools that are unreachable for companies trying to hire through local channels or generic IT recruiters.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from companies hiring Web3 talent globally.

How is global Web3 recruitment different from Baltic-focused work?

ithr.lt focuses specifically on the Lithuanian and Baltic talent market — deep local relationships, regulatory context and salary benchmarks for that region. ithr.space runs global searches — useful for companies that are remote-first, based outside Europe, or need to hire from a broader talent pool. The process is the same; the geography is different.

Can you recruit for fully remote Web3 roles?

Yes — and this is the default in Web3. Protocol companies, DeFi platforms and infrastructure projects are often fully distributed. I run searches with no geographic constraint and can also focus on specific regions or time zones when required.

Do you recruit for AI-Web3 hybrid roles?

Yes. This is an emerging and fast-growing area — AI-powered DeFi, on-chain analytics with ML, LLM interfaces for Web3 applications. I can search for engineers and product managers who have experience across both stacks, which is a rare and highly sought profile.

What does it cost to hire a Solidity developer globally?

Senior Solidity developers (3+ years): $130k–$220k (US/remote market). Protocol engineers with ZK experience can command significantly more. Compliance and operations roles are typically lower: $80k–$140k depending on seniority and jurisdiction. These are indicative ranges; the actual market varies significantly by company type, token model and remote vs. on-site.

Do you work on retained or contingency basis?

Both, depending on the role and company stage. Executive and senior specialist roles typically work better on a retained basis. Mid-level engineering searches can run on contingency. We discuss the right structure at the initial call.
