Hiring technical talent is a constant pain - for everyone. Getting to the right match demands high costs ($30k per FT dev), long processes (>45 days to fill), and has low retention (20% turnover/yr).

In the Blockchain space the hiring challenges are compounded. Web3 Talent is more fluid, has multiple revenue streams, and prefers remote work. Web3 Orgs rely on smaller core teams and fluid, decentralized workforces.

This industry embodies the future of work. Characterized by an independent and decentralized labor economy, with a strong need for on-demand human resource allocation and team formation. Squad exists to enable a new generation of high-skill independent builders to do what they love, under their terms, with no sacrifices.

Thanks to recent developments in AI, Crypto and Smart Contracts we are modernizing the way we build teams: Squad helps orgs automate sourcing, vetting, matching, contracts, and payments, in a fraction of the time & cost.

Today, Squad is a community-powered talent marketplace providing Web3 companies with on-demand access to highly-vetted, crypto-native engineers. We leverage AI for search/matchmaking, GitHub/resume scoring, ranking, and deliverable scoping. Additionally, we're developing upgradable NFTs to showcase reputation, an on-chain referral system, ownership mechanisms, and configurable smart contract escrows for payments. These innovations enable us to operate 10x more efficiently than ever before.

The same technological developments will allow us to drive similar change for other categories of tech – we are building a company to abstract away all the complexity of hiring & freelancing. Squad is creating the infrastructure for the future of work.

Our initial product is live today and we’ve distributed over $500k in payments to our developers, we now need help scaling. Join us to empower more people to do what they love, on their terms, with no sacrifices!
