Talent Level Up

Talent Level Up is a specialised Web3 recruitment agency that transforms how crypto companies hire by replacing traditional, expensive agency models with AI-driven hiring systems. Founded in 2020, the company has placed over 500 candidates and serves Web3 teams globally, from early-stage founders to established protocols. Talent Level Up operates its proprietary Talent Partner OS, an AI-powered hiring engine that combines intelligent sourcing, async screening, candidate grading, and weekly vetted talent delivery to eliminate the inefficiencies of inbound recruiting and contingency fee models.

The agency specialises exclusively in Web3 and crypto recruitment, with deep expertise across decentralised finance (DeFi), decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs), Layer 2 solutions, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and real-world assets (RWA). Talent Level Up recruits across engineering roles including smart contract engineers, protocol engineers, backend engineers, and blockchain infrastructure specialists, as well as product managers, growth marketers, community leaders, legal counsel, and executive positions such as Chief Technology Officers and Chief Product Officers. The team combines human expertise with AI-powered candidate evaluation, scoring candidates across five key areas including communication skills and crypto fluency before they reach clients.

Talent Level Up operates globally, sourcing talent across the United States, European Union, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America with a focus on timezone-aligned, crypto-native candidates. The agency partners with Web3 teams at every growth stage, from founders making first hires to hyper-scaling startups, venture capital firms supporting portfolio companies, and DAOs building ecosystems. With an average time to hire of 14 days, a candidate-to-hire ratio of 3:1, and a 94 percent candidate retention rate, Talent Level Up differentiates itself through niche Web3 expertise, transparent pricing that replaces traditional 25 percent agency fees, and an embedded partnership model where over 70 percent of clients extend or renew after their first contract.
