Web3 Recruitment & Talent Search

Chain Reaction Recruiters provides specialist recruitment and talent acquisition services for companies in the Web3 and blockchain ecosystem, offering multiple engagement models to suit different hiring needs.

Fixed Fee Retained Search

A flat-rate retained search model designed for companies with a locked-in brief and an established hiring process. Best suited for hires that need to be made within four weeks with predictable costs. The service follows a structured four-step process: discovery call, deep search with proactive headhunting and network activation, curated shortlist delivery, and offer facilitation with post-placement support. Executive hires carry a fixed fee (e.g., $20,000 for a $250,000 salary role) with a portion payable upfront and the balance due on start date. Every placement includes an 8-week free replacement guarantee.

Contingency Search

A no-risk contingency model where fees are calculated as a percentage of salary (typically 25%) and paid only on successful placement. This model is ideal for niche Web3 roles where the search scope may evolve, the interview process is still being defined, or the client prioritises finding the right fit over speed. The same rigorous four-step search process applies, with pipeline discounts available for multiple hires.

Fractional Recruitment Consulting

On-demand recruitment expertise available on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis for companies that need hiring support without a full search engagement. Services include hiring strategy development, workforce planning, market mapping and salary benchmarking, recruitment process auditing, candidate research and longlisting, interview process design, and employer branding advice for the Web3 talent market. Available from $1,500 per week, this model is particularly suited to early-stage blockchain startups scaling their recruitment needs.
