Who Are We

Nodeworthy was born out of frustration with how recruiting was being handled in Web3.

With firsthand experience leading HR for one of the largest DeFi projects, we saw the same pattern everywhere — high-volume, low-quality CV spam from recruiters who didn’t understand the space. So we decided to build the solution we wished existed. Nodeworthy exists to be a genuine connection point for both talent and teams, not as outsiders, but as people deeply embedded in the Web3 ecosystem. We understand the culture, we know the challenges, and we’ve witnessed hiring gaps from the inside. We don’t just fill roles. We help Web3 companies build the right teams.
