Building a Crypto Unicorn

The challenge:

One of the biggest challenges was an under-resourced internal talent team of one.

• Over reliance on agencies
• Disjointed and inconsistent processes

The solution:

A small Bond team of 2 x talent partners very quickly scaled up to a team of 8 within the first 3 months of the project.

• Rapidly expanding the core engineering team with blockchain engineers who build smart contracts in solidity, blockchain integration engineers with modern niche tech such as Rust & Golang alongside Scala engineers (both exchange and trading side)
• Established core hubs in both New York and Singapore.
• Hiring for: Blockchain engineers, backend/frontend/full stack engineers, devOps, QA, support, DevSecOps, Mobile devs, compliance, legal, sales & partnerships, HR, finance, Product and C – level

It’s always about where we can add further value too:

• Re-designed the entire recruitment process across the company
• Created recruitment marketing & candidate packs
• Applied direct sourcing methodology & strategic leadership hiring
• Built & implemented an agency co-ordination process to manage PSL and ensure there is control over agency spend
• Implemented a rich talent data culture including reach out data / time to hire, offer & start / pipeline data / cost saving / cost per hire / agency spend etc
