Our mission is to power the decentralised future by connecting world-class Web3 talent with the companies building it.

From early-stage innovators to global protocols, we’re building the most connected, trusted, and transparent talent ecosystem in blockchain, backed by deep technical insight, founder-led experience, and a global network years in the making.

Founded in 2018 by Craig Oliver and strengthened by CSO Peter Wood, a crypto-native founder with multiple 7-figure raises and advisory roles at Outlier Ventures and beyond, Spectrum Search was born inside the space, not outside looking in. We've scaled teams across DeFi, NFTs, Layer 1s & 2s, AI x Web3, GameFi, Privacy Tech, and beyond.

In Web3, filling a role isn’t enough. Our partners need clarity on the evolving talent landscape, from protocol engineers to DAO operators, and the ability to scale fast, globally, and with confidence. Traditional recruiters simply don’t speak the language. We do.

Whether you're hiring 1 or 50, we bring the strategy, speed, and network to match elite candidates with your mission. All of this is powered by our in-house AI platform, Spectrum Ignite, and a community that runs deep across EU, US, MENA, and Asia.

We’ve partnered with Spectrum Search for several years during GRVT’s scaling journey, and their impact has been consistently outstanding. They have successfully recruited top-tier talent across a wide range of functions including Engineering, Design, Security, Marketing, Business Development, Legal, and HR. Their recruitment process is always seamless and professionally managed, with clear communication and attention to detail. Beyond hiring, Spectrum Search has been a valuable strategic partner—providing real-time insights into market conditions, salary benchmarks, and geographic recommendations that have helped shape our talent strategy and support our growth objectives. I would highly recommend Spectrum Search as a trusted and effective recruitment partner.

Aaron Ong

Co-Founder & CTO

Craig is the hardest working recruiter I have ever seen. He kept me informed of every step of the process before and after. Due to my complicated schedule, he always manages to accommodate unusual hours for me. He is professional and effective. I have never recommended a recruiter but definitely, I would recommend him. Also, Craig has a personal touch and make sure he understands what you want and what it will be best for you.

Finance Manager

Placed Candidate

Craig has been very helpful and considerate when he worked on my case. He went out of his way to keep me updated of the progress and provide valuable advice. It was a fantastic experience to go through the whole procedure together with Craig. Highly recommend!

Senior Marketing Manager

Placed Candidate

I would highly recommend Craig. He was so helpful and supportive in finding the correct employment for me. Nothing was too much trouble and his dedication and kindness meant a lot to me at a crucial time within my career. He is a reliable, patient and a hard-working gentleman! It was pleasure to speak with him.

Head of Engineering

Placed Candidate

It was great working with Spectrum on this role – they were able to understand clearly what the requirements were for the role and understood the importance of this hire for us. We continue to work with Spectrum on our other hiring needs.

International Talent Acquisition Partner

Boson Protocol

We’ve started to co-operate with Spectrum Search two years ago, when Spectrum Search helped us to find 10 contractors to start almost immediately. Since then, Craig and his team found for more contractors and permanent employees (engineers, devops, qa, managers), always in record time and in locations that we preferred. I appreciate excellent pipeline and great communication and reaction times. We’ll definitely continue to use Spectrum Search services.

Michal Bakorik

Engineering Director, StatsPerform

Working with the team at Spectrum Search has been great... They showed a real attention to detail, demonstrated a strong knowledge of DeFi and Blockchain, and delivered impressively fast. Given the short timescales and the quality of the network they tapped into, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Brad Harrison

CEO, Venus Protocol

Spectrum Search were excellent to work with and were able to deliver on time, within a tough market. They were thorough and detailed in their approach and really took the time to invest themselves into Binance. Craig was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to a continued partnership with them in the future.

Global Recruitment Lead

You stand out from the crowd—your approach was smooth and instantly made me want to talk with you guys. The fact that you can find great talent in Web3, and you've been doing it constantly, made me want to work with you, and so far, excellent choice—couldn't ask for more.
