“During this week, the leading figures discussed the most challenging issues of the blockchain industry, including traceability, digital asset liquidity, and employment opportunities. I left the event with a better understanding of the potential of blockchain technology and demanded tech talent.” - Daniela Rusanovschi, Senior Account Executive

Ahead of Paris Blockchain Week, our squad Daniela Rusanovschi, Sales Account Executive alongside Mihai Golovatenco, Director of Matching & AMD, did cutting-edge research on the web3 recruitment ecosystem and unpacked some critical web3 recruitment challenges blockchain businesses are facing:
- Lack of qualified candidates: the web3 industry is still in its infancy, and there is a shortage of qualified developers
- High demand for talent: with the increasing popularity of blockchain, the demand for talented developers, designers, and other tech specialists is high
- Difficulty in assessing skills: blockchain and Web3 technologies are highly specialized, and it can be difficult for employers to assess the skills and qualifications of candidates.
- Difficulty in retaining talent: the Web3 industry is highly competitive, and talented individuals can be poached by other companies offering better compensation and benefits. This can lead to high turnover rates.
- Difficulty in understanding the technology: with the ever-evolving nature of the Web3 industry, it can be difficult to evaluate candidates' skills and make informed hiring decisions.
- Lack of standardization: there is currently a lack of standardization in the Web3 industry, which can make it difficult for employers to assess the skills and qualifications of candidates.
All these challenges often make it difficult for blockchain companies and startups to compete with larger organizations to attract blockchain talent as well as find the right talent to fill key roles.
Loaded with recruiting essentials, Daniela & Mihai unveiled new ways for blockchain companies to screen, connect, and hire high-performing blockchain developers from Balkan countries.
