https://blockchaingigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/where-blockchain-jobs.pngJob recruiters are getting ready for a wave of requests to hire blockchain talent in 2018. The number of job postings on LinkedIn related to blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin increased at least fourfold in 2017, according to data provided to Bloomberg. We are sure that jobs are expected to grow this year too, no doubt about it. Besides the Blockchain Gigs, the most popular sites for blockchain jobs are Indeed.com, AngelList, Linkedin, Crypto Jobs List, Blocktribe, Blockchainjobz, Crypto.Jobs, Joblift, and Upwork.
Let’s take a closer look at them.
Indeed.comIndeed is an American worldwide employment-related search engine for job listings. The site aggregates job listings from thousands of websites, including job boards, staffing firms, associations, and company career pages.
Coindesk published statistics from Indeed.com indicating that the number of blockchain jobs posted in the U.S. has increased by 207 percent since December. Even more dramatically, the number of blockchain jobs has increased 631 percent since November 2015.
AngelListAngelList is a website for startups, angel investors, and job-seekers looking to work at startups. There were at least 1,118 blockchain related jobs posted on AngelList at the time of writing this post.
LinkedInLinkedIn is a business- and employment-oriented social networking service that operates via websites and mobile apps. Blockchain-related positions in startups, legacy firms, and well-established blockchain projects such as Blockchain.com are commonly found on LinkedIn’s job openings page.
At the time of writing this article, there were 373 blockchain associated job openings
in New York. 621 jobs in London, 90 in Amsterdam, and 82 blockchain openings in Singapore.
Crypto Jobs ListTheir website launched last September with a strong focus on jobs in crypto and blockchain industries. The founders promised that they would not just scrape jobs from other websites but would publish unique openings. That is perhaps the reason why the number of open positions here is relatively small. Right now there are only 50 jobs posted on the website. The majority of job ads on the list are from startups.
BlocktribeTheir dedicated blockchain job board offers roles across a variety of emmerging tech sectros, including: blockchain, DLT, Ethereum, Hyperledger, R3, crypto currency and related distributed technologies. They claim more than 200 blockchain businesses signed up, thousands of registered job seekers, and a whopping total of 454 advertised.
BlockchainjobzThis is another blockchain-oriented job site. It has more than 1,000 openings in the industry with a wide range of positions related to development, management, design, sales, marketing, and finance. Most of the jobs are in startups based all over the world. In addition, they occasionally help job seekers by writing about how to find jobs in blockchain tech companies.
Crypto.jobsCryptoJobs is the global job board for blockchain jobs similar to Blocktribe and Blockchainjobz. Right now they have 263 jobs listed for technical and non-technical roles.
JobliftJoblift is a popular jobs aggregator with multiple domains – joblift.co.uk, joblift.de, joblift.fr and joblift.com oriented at British, German, French, and the US job markets respectively. Blockchain openings are mostly technical. The website might be not the best choice for the job seekers from the US, as just around 200 blockchain openings are currently present on Joblift which is a relatively small number. However, the other domains have a broad variety of local listings, especially the British and the German versions which have around 500 job ads each.
UpworkThis is a popular website for freelance jobs. Upwork currently has more than 1,200 blockchain openings. Around a half of them are technical positions. According to Upwork’s report, blockchain development was the second most-desired skill among the employers in the 3rd quarter of 2017. However, in the 4th quarter it disappeared from the Upwork’s top skills list, giving way to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency-related terms.
According to a source, Upwork writing jobs come second in terms of the number of ads in the blockchain industry. They amount to 20% of all blockchain openings on the site. Among these listings are content writers and communication assistants.
Blockchain GigsThe best blockchain jobs listing. Their mission is to accelerate the blockchain (r)evolution in Europe and beyond. They aim to connect blockchain talent with the opportunity at a massive scale. The process is simple, fast, and fun. Technical and non-technical roles, management positions, and internships…we have it all. Candidates can apply for jobs without registering. The application, including the candidate’s CV, goes straight to employer’s email.
A word to recruitersWorkers with blockchain experience are in short supply because the technology is so new, but MOOC (massive open online course) and certification programs are starting to make up for the dearth of degree programs, sources say. Recruiters might have to take new routes and be flexible about job requirements in order to hire the best blockchain developers.
The job market in the blockchain industry has seen tremendous growth. The prices of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies have surged, fueling interest in cryptomarkets and new blockchain projects, and the demand for blockchain professionals has skyrocketed!
