The Evolution of Talent Acquisition in Crypto with Sarah Howe

Here is a quick review of Q3 2023 from my perspective at Proof of Talent. We talk specifically about the hiring and employment landscape and discuss the main things I've seen. 
Here are three key takeaways that you need to know:
🌟 Q3 was unexpectedly the best quarter for Proof of Talent, despite the overall downturn in the crypto market. We have seen a significant number of placements and revenue during this period.
📈 Hiring in the crypto industry is not dead! While the number of companies hiring may not be as high as in previous years, there are still opportunities available. Early-stage companies, in particular, are actively looking for new talent to fuel their growth.
⌛️ Job interviews in the crypto space may take longer than usual. Companies are being cautious and in some cases, nervous about the uncertain landscape and funding availability. As a job seeker, be prepared for a potentially longer job search. And for employers, having a quick and efficient interview process will give you a competitive advantage in securing top talent.
