Nathan from Blockchain 121 has been a pleasure to work with.

He quickly adapts to your work style and embeds himself within your team. He keeps things light in high-stress situations while also making sure he executes the task at hand. I would definitely recommend working with them, and I likely will again soon.

Robinson Burkey

Chief Commercial Officer, Wormhole Foundation

Jesse from Blockchain121 is among the best recruiters I have worked with. He went above and beyond his duties to make sure I was happy every step along the way. He replies quickly and, unlike other recruiters, has a solid understanding of the crypto space at large to enable him to do well in his job. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a job or companies who are looking for candidates.
