We map GitHub, on-chain activity, ENS and X to find the engineers behind crypto's best code, before they hit the market.

Our method
Resumes and keyword searches miss the best crypto engineers. Our three AI agents (DeFi, Trading and Infra) map real developer activity across GitHub, X, Farcaster and ENS, so we find builders by what they've shipped, often before they're looking.
Web2 Flaw → Recruent Approach
Web2 Flaw · Keyword Scraping
Traditional agencies just search LinkedIn for the word "Solidity" and hope for the best — missing every builder who values their privacy.
Recruent · Multi-Chain Resolution
Our system natively tracks real developer footprints across on-chain activity, commit history, and pseudonymous handles.
Web2 Flaw · Buzzword Bingo
Mainstream recruiters use non-technical HR screeners who can't tell a merged pull request from a README edit.
Recruent · Local Repo Audits
Our internal system deep-dives straight into a candidate's actual codebase to verify genuine, shipped work.
Web2 Flaw · InMail Mass Blasting
Agencies blindly spam candidates who have zero intention of ever leaving their current protocol.
Recruent · Predictive Commit Signals
Our engine tracks real-time spikes in activity that signal when a builder is ready to make their next move.

How we work
Marketplaces send your role to dozens of recruiters who each spend a few minutes on it. We work only on yours.
Send us the role. Get 3 anonymized candidate dossiers in 48 hours, free and with no commitment.
We show you exactly how we found them: the code, the signals, and why each one fits.
We become your recruiter: weekly updates, messages to candidates on your behalf, interview scheduling and all candidate communication.
Engaged search or monthly embedded recruiter, whichever suits your team.
If your hire leaves within 3 months, we find a replacement at no extra cost.
We take on 2–3 searches at a time so every client gets our full attention.
Founder
I built Recruent during parental leave, after seeing how traditional hiring tools miss the best crypto engineers. Instead of keyword matching, I read their actual code and on-chain work, and my AI engine does it at scale.
