Although it may not necessarily lead to a hire through a job application, creating a good job description helps with the internal calibration process. - Hiring opportunistically can be more effective than relying only on open roles - Hiring top-tier talent is always worth it, even though pushback may come from the VC side asking about runway and burn.

Let's discuss the realities of job seeking in today's current market. It will likely take you a bit longer to find a new position than it has in the past, especially if you're a higher earner. A couple key things to think about: 1. Job seekers should prepare for a longer job search if they're on the job market right now or are thinking about looking for new opportunities. 2. The dynamics of the job market have totally flipped from a candidate-led market in the post-pandemic world to an employer-led market in the past year. 3. Don't get discouraged if you're in this situation. You're certainly not alone. Keep a positive attitude and stay proactive in your job search. The current job market is proving to be a difficult one for job seekers, with layoffs and hiring freezes leading to a surplus of talent competing for fewer job opportunities.

Rob provides a quick "State of the Union" regarding hiring in the crypto industry so far in 2023, from what we've seen at Proof of Talent. Here are three key takeaways for job seekers and hiring companies: 1. Despite the slowdown caused a variety of factors in 2022 (you name it), there is cause for optimism in the market. There has been a slow but steady pickup in hiring this year and a high percentage of searches have resulted in job offers. 2. Technical talent is still in high demand, while opportunities for non-technical individuals are fewer and take longer to find, but still out there. 3. The crypto industry experiences boom and bust cycles, and hiring tends to lag the peak of these cycles. Hiring is a lagging indicator on both ends of the spectrum within the crypto industry. At Proof of Talent, we have seen a slow but steady pick-up in hiring this year after a tough 2022. Hiring within the crypto industry is a lagging indicator, so it takes time for companies to realize the state of the market. Nevertheless, there is evidence that employment in the industry has bottomed out, and there is a slow bounce back.

We're firmly in the depths of the latest crypto bear market. It might not seem like it, but NOW is the time to "Make It". Let's talk about why I think so and 4 key things I think you have to do to set yourself up for success in the long-run.  Link to Cobie's insights on Twitter: https://twitter.com/icebergy_/status/1591222718518759424?s=20&t=izKcruyEUBqUPPB0RuSxsg Inquiries: [email protected] Apply for a job in the crypto industry: https://proofoftalent.co/blockchain-jobs Get help hiring for your company from Proof of Talent: https://proofoftalent.co/blockchain-recruiting

Surprisingly, NOW is a crazy good time for companies that are still hiring in the crypto industry. Here's why I think that's the case: 1. There is more talent on the market. Whether through layoffs, larger companies hiring less talent or just people more interested in making a career move within the industry, there is more talent looking. 2. There is less competition among companies hiring. Simply put, less companies are hiring now, which means better odds for the companies that are. 3. The tourists are gone. If a job seeker is still passionate about the industry after seeing the carnage associated with Luna, Celsius, 3AC, FTX etc, you can be relatively sure they are a mission driven individual. ... While on the surface it might not seem like it, today is a much better time to be hiring than it was a year ago!

Bitcoin jumped from $4,100 to over $5,000 overnight, leaving mainstream media scrambling to determine the cause of BTC's price action. So what was the real reason for the move?

It's easy to have a negative outlook on the future of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, as the prices continue to move downwards/sideways. However, I think there are a number of reasons to be fairly optimistic about the future of this industry, thanks to the work being done by major companies entering crypto. Let's talk about why I think the entrance of companies like Fidelity, JPMorgan Chase, Bakkt and more, into the world of Bitcoin, crypto and blockchain are a reason to be positive about the future outlook of this industry.  Thanks to today's sponsor: Keeps.com/Bobby for your first month free Sign up for the beta of HXRO and get 100 free HXRO tokens https://cryptobobby.com/rekt (my ref link) ** This is not financial advice and these are simply my own opinions, as such, this should not be treated as explicit financial, trading or otherwise investment advice.

Binance's BNB token has absolutely crushed it in the last 3 months, up 214% against it's cycle low. This pump reminds me a lot of the ETH run during the ICO craze, so let's talk about why. Also, Coinbase back tracked a bit on it's Neutrino acquisition.

"Fake Volume" is a problem in cryptocurrency and today we just saw it exposed, again. Let's talk about an article from The Block discussing how "KuCoin’s leaked ‘volume-boosting’ offers draw accusations of wash trading". If we take a few minutes and search the charts and order books on KuCoin, it's rather easy to prove this point. Aside from the typical crypto Tom Foolery, there is some positive news thanks to Samsung confirming crypto storage on the new Galaxy S10. Thanks to today's podcast sponsor, LinkedIn.

The crypto markets have bounced over $10 billion in the past 24 hours, led by ETH and BTC. Adding fuel to the fire, Cambridge Associates, a financial consultancy that advises pension and endowement funds with over $300 billion in assets is advising it's clients to "consider dipping their toes into cryptocurrencies".

JP Morgan just announced the creation of JPM Coin, a "digital coin designed to make instantaneous payments using blockchain technology".

Is the herd ever going to arrive?! Let's talk about the "institutions" coming to Bitcoin, and if that is actually a catalyst one should consider in the long run.

Did you know you can get a loan from your ETH at only .5% interest annually, through a tool called the MakerDAO CDP? In this video I’ll walk you through what a collateralized debt position (CDP) is, why people have $210 Million locked up in them currently, and what the other alternatives are as well. In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting utliziations of blockchain technology currently, that has the potential to erode power from the traditional banking ecosystem.
