Crypto Jobs, Blockchain Talents & Recruiting Platform + Job Board Aggregator from Multiple Tech Sites and Sources

We will develop a segmented and specialized platform to connect companies and projects with highly qualified professionals with skills and competences in blockchain, DeFi, Crypto, Web3, Smart Contracts, NFTs, Metaverse and many programming languages used in blockchain.

A powerful environment to find professionals with multiple search options and filters such as:

• Location
• Skills
• Competencies
• Industry/sector
• Language
• Job types
• Job title
• Educational institution
• Courses
• Companies

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

We believe that a niche environment specialized in Web3 talent will bring a lot of engagement with these users and will attract companies interested in finding, hiring and relating to these people.

We observed that niche environments form large tribes that connect with the target audience and thus attract greater engagement in the use of the platform, bringing real gains and a lot of value to the entire market.

GOALS:

We have some main objectives for the Crypto Jobs, Blockchain Talents & Recruiting Platform project, and how we will validate if they will be achieved:

Lucas Fernandes - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-fernandes-silva/

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

Manage workload:

We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

We believe that the value of the project is very affordable to be implemented in the Cardano ecosystem community, so that they can more easily find professionals in the field of technology and blockchain.

We will offer an organized database of technical professionals from several specialist sites in one place. A powerful platform to find multiple technology professionals, with multiple filters and segmentations.

Contracting companies will be able to use the platform to hire professionals in an easier and more organized way.
