Crypto job postings triple to over 1,200 in September, but applications fall
Data from CryptoJobsList shows a significant surge in crypto-related job postings in September, though the number of applications has declined. This divergence suggests a tightening market for specialized talent within the blockchain and finance sectors.
Why it matters
The trend indicates that while crypto firms are aggressively expanding, they are facing a potential talent shortage or a mismatch in candidate expectations.
Companies listed 1,241 positions in September, compared to 886 in August and 382 in July, according to data from crypto-focused recrruitment platform CryptoJobsList . The September total was more than double the 573 in January, which was the busiest month of the year until August.
The number of different companies recruiting also increased to 125 in September, compared to 107 in July, which then dipped to 77 in August.
A rebound would be expected in September, as business gets back to normal from the seasonal lull in proceedings over the Northern Hemisphere summer months. The data, however, suggests seasonality isn’t the whole story. The acceleration was already well underway in August, with the month’s figures doubling July’s.
