Got questions about working with a Web3 and AI headhunter? These are the ones that come up most often. If something isn’t covered here, reach out directly and I’ll give you a straight answer.

What kinds of roles do you work on?

I specialize in Crypto, Blockchain, DeFi, Fintech, and AI hiring. That covers technical roles like AI/ML engineers, developers and smart contract engineers, but also sales, marketing, finance, product, operations, compliance, and leadership positions. I don’t take on junior or high-volume hiring. My strength is finding people who aren’t actively looking but are exactly right for a specific opportunity.

What types of companies do you work with?

Mostly startups and scaleups from seed stage through Series C and beyond. I work directly with founders, CTOs, and hiring managers who have real decision-making authority. I’m less suited to large corporate environments with lengthy procurement processes or committee-based hiring decisions.

What is the Fractional Talent Partner service?

Some companies don’t need a full-time recruiter but do need consistent hiring support. The Fractional Talent Partner service gives you an embedded hiring partner without the overhead of a full-time hire. I work inside your process, understand your culture, and run searches on an ongoing basis. It works best for companies that have multiple hires planned over the next six to twelve months.

What do you need from me to start a search?

A job description, clarity on what success looks like in this role, who makes the final hiring decision, and what your realistic timeline is. I also need direct access to the hiring manager for an initial briefing. The more specific you can be upfront, the faster we move.

What if we’re still figuring out exactly what we need?

Let’s talk before starting work together. I can often help you define the role, separate what actually matters from what’s nice to have, and give you a realistic picture of the market. But I don’t take on searches where the brief is likely to change significantly mid-process.

How quickly can you find candidates?

It depends on the role and the market. For most searches I can present the first candidates within one to two weeks. I won’t send you a pile of CVs to keep you busy. You’ll get a small number of people who are an almost perfect match, have been properly assessed and are genuinely interested in the opportunity.

How many candidates will you present?

Quality over quantity, always. I typically present three to five candidates per search. Every person I put forward has been through a proper assessment call with me. I verify who they are, review what they’ve actually built, and ask the questions a generalist recruiter wouldn’t think to ask.

Do you work on exclusive assignments?

I work best when I’m your primary partner on a search. When a candidate gets approached by multiple recruiters about the same role, it creates confusion and raises questions about how serious the opportunity is. The best candidates notice. I’m happy to discuss what arrangement makes sense for your situation, but if you’re looking to run five agencies in parallel, I’m not the right partner for you.

How much do you charge?

My fees depend on the service. For individual searches, I charge a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary, agreed upfront before the search begins. For the Fractional Talent Partner service, we agree on a monthly retainer based on the scope and volume of hiring support you need. I’m happy to discuss specifics on a call once I understand what you’re looking for.

What guarantee do you offer?

I offer a three-month replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate leaves or doesn’t work out within the first three months, I’ll run the search again at no additional fee.

How do we get started?

Reach out through the contact form or find me on LinkedIn. Tell me a bit about the role and your timeline, and we’ll schedule a call to see if it’s a good fit. If it’s not the right match, I’ll tell you directly.
