WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Job seekers never get real information about where they fit into the hiring market. Crypto companies are built different, and use non-traditional signals to filter candidates.
- 002
WHY SHOULD I CARE?
You are the asset. Be strategic, and make the right moves to increase your market value and build your personal brand.

HOW IT WORKS
We operate more like a sports agent, than a recruiter. The idea is, sign the top talent, and allow them to try out for the teams they want to play for. Talk to an Up Top Talent Partner to get a clear understanding of the state of the web3 job market, where your skills line up with current demand, and how to position yourself for success.
