Why Plexus?
Every Plexus consultant works a dedicated ‘patch’, whether that’s Rust engineers, product leaders, or DeFi quant talent, so they know their niche inside out. They track the market, know who’s hiring, who’s moving, and who’s open to the right offer.
Backing them up is our in-house delivery team, whose sole focus is building and maintaining our deep talent network. That means when you come to us, we don’t just start searching, we already know the people you need.
With offices in London and Miami, we cover hiring across EMEA, the US, APAC, and beyond, from engineering through to C-suite.

What sets Plexus apart
- We work on hundreds of Web3 roles every year – across engineering, GTM, ops, and more – giving us unmatched pattern recognition. That means sharper consultation, real-time competitor awareness, and the most reliable data on salaries, comp structures, and team builds in the space.
- Deep, specialist knowledge. Each recruiter focuses on a specific niche, whether that’s Rust engineers, DeFi quants, or C-suite hires – so we know exactly what ‘great’ looks like in your space.
- A dedicated sourcing team. Unlike many agencies, we have an in-house delivery team whose sole job is building and maintaining our Web3 talent network, so we’re always ahead of the curve.
- We’ve been here since 2017. In a space full of short-lived agencies and generalist recruiters, we’ve built a long-standing reputation as the go-to Crypto talent partner.
When you work with Plexus, you’re not just getting resumes, you’re getting market intelligence, strategic consultation, and access to the best candidates before anyone else.
