The nascent nature of the Web3 landscape, along with the complexity of technical skills involved in crypto and blockchain-related jobs, makes it hard for a majority of companies to find the right talent. On the other hand, Web3 professionals also have difficulty looking for new opportunities on mainstream job platforms designed mainly for Web2 careers. Even when there’s an ideal match for a company and talent, the remote-focused work expectations of the post-pandemic era create a bottleneck for the traditional recruiter-candidate onboarding process.
The latest participant of Cointelegraph Accelerator, the startup booster leveraging Cointelegraph’s media capabilities, Intropia is an introduction-based Web3 talent ecosystem that utilizes the community-centric nature of Web3 to solve the talent bottleneck threatening the growth of the industry. To get a clear profile of the current Web3 talent, Intropia conducted the Web3 Talent Survey with the contribution of over 1,500 Web3 professionals. The survey showed that the Web3 ecosystem boasts a diverse range of talent, from coding experts to hardcore traders, who mostly prefer remote or freelance jobs and want to use pseudonyms. The vast majority of the respondents (80%) are working on several projects simultaneously, having one main job and freelancing for several others.
