An agency built for people at the start.
Crypto recruitment has spent a decade recycling the same senior people between the same companies. Meanwhile thousands of graduates and self-taught developers who genuinely understand this technology cannot get a first interview.
BlockStart exists to close that gap. We work only on early-career roles — graduate schemes, junior engineering, internships, apprenticeships and first non-technical hires — so everything we do is tuned to people without a track record yet.
We are based in London and place candidates across the UK, Europe and remote-first teams worldwide.
How we work
No gatekeeping
A degree is welcome but never required. What you have built matters more than where you studied.
Honest feedback
If a role is wrong for you, we say so. Nobody benefits from a placement that falls apart in month three.
Real screening
We read the code and the CV. Hiring teams get a shortlist, not a keyword-matched inbox dump.
Long-term view
The junior we place today is the lead engineer we place in five years. We work accordingly.
