types of recruiters in crypto: the corporate converts: came from faang/startups, now in crypto. polished process, allergic to memes. pitch is career ladders, not wagmi. the rocketship chasers: here for the quick win. hoping to ride one unicorn to glory. might dabble degen, but don’t know the trenches. the community recruiter: lives on tg and discord (last cycle), somehow always connected to every anon, but half their intros are just vibes. the referral farmer: posts 5x a day “DM me your resume, I’ll pass it along,” then ghosts you when it’s inconvenient. the happy accidents: fell into crypto by chance. chose this over learning something new (like ai). sticking around because inertia. the ogs: been through 2–3 cycles. despise “boring web 2.5” stuff like wallets, sdks, stables. live for the chaos. the fee hunters: agencies/freelancers who ate well during peak salaries and placement fees. chasing the next boom. the existential question: you meet them and wonder… why are you even a recruiter? missed a category? lmk.
