Meanwhile, the likes of CME Group are expanding crypto derivatives offerings - all of which is helping the asset class to mature.\nThat's leaving fewer candidates for crypto firms who need dozens or hundreds of new workers to expand their business.\nBinance, the world's largest crypto exchange, is advertising for some 370 positions globally, according to its LinkedIn recruitment portal. New York-based Gemini plans to boost its Singapore headcount to 50 from 30 by December. Hong Kong-based Crypto.com, which employs more than 900 staff, has over 200 openings on its jobs page.\n\"We are hiring aggressively,\" Binance chief executive officer Changpeng \"CZ\" Zhao said by email. \"We see the industry growing exponentially on a year-to-year basis, and we need to scale our team to cope with it.\" He added, \"We are a geo-equal-opportunity employer. We don't mind where people are, as long as they produce results.\"\nHundreds of applicants\nFor potential candidates, interest in crypto jobs has risen by about five to 10 times in the past nine months, according to Neil Dundon, the founder of recruitment agency Crypto Recruit. A single job posting can attract hundreds of applicants, he said.\nDespite the boom, finding candidates with relevant experience can be difficult, meaning that some companies are lowering their expectations or changing job criteria.\n\"In terms of length of experience, one or two years is good enough these days,\" said Mr Dundon. \"The skills shortage is so bad at the moment that companies are casting a wider net.\"\nBoth Gemini's Asia-Pacific head Jeremy Ng and Crypto.com's director of talent acquisition, Tom Lau, agree that experience is a major challenge.\n\"If you want to find someone with strong crypto knowledge, that wouldn't be easy to come by,\" said Mr Ng, an alumnus of Goldman Sachs Group and Deutsche Bank.\nGemini is considering expanding into markets such as Hong Kong and Australia over the next 12 months and is offering benefits including unlimited vacation and a profit-sharing program to attract talent globally, Mr Ng said.\nMr Ng and Binance's Mr Zhao like candidates with expertise in banking and fintech because such skills can be transfered to a new position.\n\"Developers and customer support are the two larger teams in our organization, and typically have the highest demand from a recruiting perspective,\" Mr Zhao said. \"Luckily, these are the same skill sets used by large internet companies. We see a lot of interest from people in internet companies and other crypto projects.\"\nRemote roles\nBobby Ong, the co-founder and chief operating officer of crypto-data firm CoinGecko.com, said recently on Twitter that it's getting increasingly hard to find the right people in Malaysia. The firm made internal adjustments and is now offering some roles that can be fully remote anywhere around the globe, he said.\nDespite the rush, some job offers may fall through if the prospective employee decides the leap to crypto isn't worth it. Some compensation packages include a token component - and deals may have to be renegotiated particularly if the token price plunges during the hiring process, Mr Dundon said.\nStill, Crypto.com's Mr Lau, who claims that its pay packages are better than those at banks, doesn't expect the crypto hiring boon to die down anytime soon.\n\"We are competing with companies like investment banks or major technology companies, so we have to pay on par or a premium,\" he said. \"This is going to make the market even hotter.\"","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":122351345,"gmtCreate":1624599256687,"gmtModify":1633950675481,"author":{"id":"3580021038510346","authorId":"3580021038510346","name":"Liha","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4ba484754a4e8fc7a7c54ab52161218","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3580021038510346","authorIdStr":"3580021038510346"},"htmlText":"I
