Our story

As open source and Rust enthusiasts, we noticed that despite Rust's popularity among developers, companies still struggled in finding good Rust talent. We started Hydra to help companies with this problem.

FAQs

Hydra is a recruiting agency and platform specializing in Rust open source devs in crypto. As experts in the ecosystem, we've spoken to hundreds of devs and placed them in leading companies.

As former developers, we have a much better understanding of technical talent than your traditional recruiting agency. At the same time, by focusing on open source contributors, our network of developers has a history of public work and is already accustomed to working in a decentralized fashion. We therefore ensure the highest quality for every potential hire.

We start with a consultation to assess mutual fit. If we find a potential partnership productive, we send a contract to formalize our arrangement. Hydra works as a contingency recruiter, only getting paid on placement.

We use GitHub as a sourcing funnel, finding developers where they already are. We conduct our own interviews to learn more about each prospective talent.
