Why we are accepting cryptocurrency

The blockchain industry is reshaping global markets, and it faces a real talent shortage across the board. Many in the industry expect decentralized organizations, including DAOs, to play a growing role in how companies coordinate and fund their work. Excelon wants to support that shift early and bring our brand of service to new and established blockchain companies looking to expand and attract talent from adjacent industries.

DAO (decentralized autonomous organization)

A DAO is an organization coordinated by rules encoded in software and governed by its community of token holders rather than by traditional central management. DAOs commonly use cryptocurrencies to fund and coordinate their networks. You can read a fuller explanation at Investopedia.

Bridging the crypto world and traditional talent

Excelon acts as a bridge between the crypto world and traditional sectors like higher education and banking. The relationships we have built and nurtured over the years let us bring value to the crypto space in a way few recruitment firms can, particularly our access to recent college and university graduates and experienced professionals ready for a new challenge.

Blockchain and crypto companies need more than software developers and engineers to deliver on their roadmaps. As the space matures, more professionals from non-crypto backgrounds will be needed, in operations, finance, marketing, compliance, and leadership. That is where Excelon comes in.

As crypto becomes more mainstream, recruitment partners with deep cross-industry networks become more valuable, not less.

How we help crypto companies hire

In the end, your success as a company or DAO comes down to hiring and attracting the right people. As recruiters who understand the blockchain and crypto space, we focus on connecting you with top-tier talent across the roles you need.

  • Technical and non-technical searches, from engineering leadership to operations and compliance.
  • Access to experienced professionals from higher education, banking, private equity, venture capital, and healthcare.
  • An understanding of the complexities and pace of the crypto and web3 space.
