Testimonials
Trusted by founders, operators and leaders building high-impact teams.
Hype Talent truly gets Web3. Rob and Dan are sharp, responsive, and easy to work with. They've helped us find the right people fast. We're happy to keep building with them.
Hype Talent consistently delivers. They know what we need and always come through with strong candidates. Rob and Dan are our go-to for talent.
Hype Talent made the process smooth, insightful, and human. They cared about the fit on both sides and made it happen. One of the best teams I've worked with.
Rob and Dan go beyond recruitment. They deliver talent that fits both our tech needs and our culture. A must-have partner for any Web3 team looking to scale fast and smart.
Rob and Dan's team at Hype is phenomenal. I have worked with dozens of web3 agencies and most take more of my time teaching them how to do their jobs than actually hiring. With Rob and Dan it's the opposite — I can always count on him to understand our cultural and quality bars and the big picture of what we're trying to build. He delivers zero noise, zooming in on just 3–5 super high quality candidates per search resulting in a hire. Highly recommend him and his team.
Hype Talent has been instrumental in helping us secure top-tier senior talent since 2019. Rob and Dan understand the space and consistently deliver. They're a trusted partner in scaling Web3 teams.
