our story

As open source and Rust enthusiasts, we noticed that despite the high skill level and stellar contribution history of many Rust open source devs, companies were unable to find them effectively. We started Hydra to help companies hire world class technical talent, and to help great open source devs better monetize their skills and passion.

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 often 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 arrangment. Hydra works as a contingency recruiter, only getting paid on placement, and offers a clawback period of three months if our hire does not meet your needs.

We use GitHub as a sourcing funnel, finding developers where they already are and often with a history of public contrbutions, and conduct our own interviews to learn more about each prospective talent.
