Three ways to work together.

The right model depends on where you are. We’ll recommend the best fit after our first conversation.

01
Priority & Speed

Fixed Fee Search

All levels, from Executive to Entry.

When this works

  • Your hiring process is already in place
  • Your brief is locked in and ready to go
  • You need to hire within 4 weeks
  • Your costs need to be predictable
  • You value certainty over flexibility

Example

Executive hire at $250k — fixed fee $20,000.
*$5,000 upfront, balance on start — $15,000.
02
Flexibility & No Risk

Contingency Search

Pay only on success.

When this works

  • The role is niche and the search is deeper
  • The scope may evolve during the search
  • You don’t want upfront risk
  • Your interview process isn’t fully defined
  • Speed and priority are less critical

Example

25% fee, paid on start date.
*Discounts available — ask on your discovery call.
03
On Demand

Fractional Recruitment

Consulting Services.

When this works

  • You’re roadmapping and budgeting
  • You’re unsure of what hires you need
  • You need live market data
  • Your internal processes need auditing
  • You only need research and longlisting

Example

Weekly rate — $1,500, payable upfront.
*Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates available.

Replacement Guarantee

Every placement comes with an 8-week free replacement guarantee. If a candidate leaves within 8 weeks for reasons unrelated to our screening process, we will work to replace them at no additional cost.

Pipeline Discounts

Hiring multiple people for the same team or function? Discounts are available on additional hires from the same search pipeline. Ask us about this on your discovery call.

From brief to hired.

01

Discovery Call

We take time to understand your business, culture, and what the right person actually looks like.

02

Deep Search

Proactive headhunting, network activation, and rigorous screening. Not just job board posts.

03

Curated Shortlist

You only see candidates who have been thoroughly interviewed against your brief.

04

Offer & Beyond

We facilitate negotiations and stay in contact post-placement to make sure the hire sticks.

Boutique by design.

Chain Reaction Recruiters is a boutique recruitment partner specialising in the blockchain ecosystem and the companies building within it — from DeFi, gaming, and tokenised assets to L1s, L2s, RWAs, and everything in between. If your product is on-chain, or on-chain adjacent, we want to hear about it.

We work across tech with a special focus on Web3, crypto, and AI — with a particular love for creative, product-led projects in music, gaming, art, and entertainment.

But whether you’re a bootstrapped RWA art project looking to hire a finance manager, or a VC-funded HFT market maker needing a lead data engineer, we thrive in the diversity and complexity of this space.
