Who are we

Who are we

Who are we

Nodeworthy started because we couldn’t stand the way recruiting was being done in the Web3 space.

With a background as the HR of one of the biggest De-Fi Projects, we experienced firsthand the high-volume, low-quality CV dumps from outsourced recruiters. So we decided to build that solid connection point for both clients and candidates. Not as an outsider, but as individuals deeply embedded into the Web3 space. We know the struggles, we speak the language, and we've seen the hiring gaps from the inside.
