Crypto companies are still hiring, but they may not be actively hiring in the market downturn. However, if you’re considering joining this space, it’s still a good time to get your foot in the door, an industry source told Cointelegraph.
While there may not have been as many open positions as there were last year, companies are definitely still hiring. They come to us,” said Tyler Feinerman, Wachsman’s global head of human resources.
More than 7,200 job openings were posted in the United States in October, according to LinkedIn data.Also, the number of jobs per month Posted Blockchain job site Crypto Jobs List in September is back to the same level as it was a year ago.
Even with a wave of layoffs that have cut more than 11,000 jobs over the past six months, Feinerman said the limited pool of talent remains a challenge for companies in this space.
Unfortunately, several cryptocurrency exchanges have recently announced large-scale job cuts.

People in the industry are wearing a lot of hats right now, explained Emily Landon, Founder and CEO of The Crypto Recruiters. Opportunities still exist, but the bear market has affected cryptocurrencies and her Web3 sector in many ways, she said. Candidates must actively network to secure a position, as regular job listings are unlikely to be found.
Joining Discord and Telegram channels, as well as crypto meetups to engage with community members, remains an important strategy for anyone wanting to work in the crypto industry. I highly recommend anyone interested in working in the Web3 space to attend a local meetup. It’s a great opportunity to network and meet people from across the country,” says Feinerman.
In the midst of the crypto winter, companies are also reassessing their hiring priorities, with more positions taking on product development roles rather than marketing or sales. Companies are changing their hiring plans to focus more on developer and product roles and builds, he commented, Wachsman’s head of human resources.
