The Codi team on the Sydney waterfront

Our deepest network is in crypto and Web3

This is where we know the most people. We know which engineers have shipped on mainnet, held up under audit and run systems with real value at stake.

We hire for exchanges, DeFi protocols, stablecoin issuers and regulated crypto businesses, plus the infrastructure teams behind them.

We're a specialised founder led recruitment company made for growth markets where talent availability is scarce.

Precise, not high-volume

We meet every candidate, and understand you, the role and the team before we go to market. Fewer, better candidates with clear context on why they are relevant.

Highly technical

We speak the same language as the engineers we hire. Built for growth markets where talent is scarce, we map the whole market so you meet everyone worth meeting.

Ethics beyond all else

The right hire propels you; the wrong hire is a cost you cannot waste. We tell you what we see, even when it costs us a placement.

Case study

Common questions

Where is your crypto network deepest?

Trading, indexing and high-volume, latency-sensitive engineering. We know the engineers who build trading systems, indexers and the infrastructure that has to stay fast and correct under heavy load.

Do you hire for remote teams?

Yes. Many Web3 teams are distributed, and we hire for remote and hybrid roles as well as on-site.

What are your fees?

We're founder led, so we're flexible. We have several ways of working, from a success fee on permanent hires to embedded hiring support, and we often build bespoke pricing for clients with specific needs. We're also always happy to have a chat and advise on hiring plans, role design or salary, with no fee. We love doing it, and it's often where we have the most impact.

Hiring for a Web3 team? Let’s chat.

A live role or a sense-check on the market. Virtual, or in person in Sydney.
