Comprehensive Analysis of Talent Demand in the Web3 Ecosystem: In-Depth Examination of Job Positions from Technical Development to Operational Management

3 AM Thoughts: Why is Head of Ecosystem Recruitment Harder Than Writing Smart Contracts?

Man, while debugging a cross-chain bridge's gas optimization issue just now, I suddenly realized—finding a qualified Head of Ecosystem is even more complicated than solving EVM compatibility issues. Seriously, the skill set required for this position is like packing Solidity, Rust, and JavaScript into a super developer.

From a technical perspective, an ecosystem head needs:

• Technical Understanding: Able to read whitepapers and technical documents, but not necessarily write ZK-SNARKs proofs yourself
• Business Acumen: Analyzing token economic models is like analyzing smart contract gas consumption patterns
• Community Operation Skills: Handling community disputes requires more finesse than dealing with blockchain forks

To be honest, 90% of the candidates I saw on MyJob.one were either too tech-focused (like I was before) or completely unfamiliar with basic blockchain principles. Wait, is this related to educational background? Most business schools haven't even started offering Web3 courses yet...

Project Operation Recruitment's Seven Hidden Evaluation Metrics

Last night, while reviewing a DApp project operation resume, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: all candidates emphasized "having organized XX events," but none mentioned on-chain data analysis capabilities. It's like saying you know how to cook but not whether you can control the heat.

In the Web3 field, excellent project operations require:

1. Ability to create basic dashboards with Dune Analytics (doesn't need to be complex, but at least you should know how)
2. Understanding of how gas fee fluctuations affect user behavior
3. Differentiating CEX and DEX operational strategies
4. Response speed in handling community crisis situations (remember that NFT project that got hit with FUD over a single emoji?)

Suddenly I thought of an analogy: traditional internet operations are like driving an automatic car, while Web3 operations require a manual transmission plus occasional engine repairs.

Java Engineer Recruitment in Web3: A Fascinating Transformation

Seeing Java programmers asking "Does blockchain need Java?" makes me want to show them the Hyperledger Fabric source code. Seriously, Java's applications in Web3 are broader than most people imagine:

• Exchange backend systems (especially in compliance directions)
• Enterprise-level blockchain solutions
• Crypto payment gateway development

Wait, here's a technical transition path suggestion: Java developers can start with the "Blockchain Middleware Development" positions on MyJob.one, gradually transitioning to core protocol layers. It's like learning Solidity before studying EVM principles.

Operations Associate Recruitment: The Web3 World's "Swiss Army Knife"

I know a project that interviewed 37 operations assistants and finally hired an art history graduate who could write Python scripts. Isn't that very Web3? Operations Associates now need skills including but not limited to:

• Basic smart contract interaction capabilities (at least able to use MetaMask)
• Time zone management for coordinating global remote teams
• Patience in handling KYC/AML documents

To be honest, this type of position has an especially steep growth curve. A good operations assistant might become a COO within two years, while a poor one might struggle even to manage a Discord server.

Community Specialist Recruitment's Three Cognitive Misconceptions

While debugging contracts at 3 AM, I suddenly thought: most project teams make the same mistake when hiring community specialists:

1. Overemphasizing follower counts (buying followers costs less than developing a testnet)
2. Ignoring technical Q&A capabilities (being able to distinguish between ERC-20 and ERC-721 is a basic requirement)
3. Failing to consider crisis response capabilities (reaction speed during FUD determines project survival)

While browsing positions on MyJob.one, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: community specialist salaries for top-tier projects have already surpassed those of many development positions. This might indicate that quality community management is becoming a scarce resource?

Business Development Associate Recruitment: Where DeFi Meets Traditional Finance

Last week, I interviewed a candidate from investment banking background, and his understanding of TVL was still stuck on "Total Video Length"... Man, what does this reveal? Web3 business development is undergoing a process of specialization:

• Need to understand LP market-making mechanisms
• Ability to explain the differences between AMM and order books
• Knowledge of how to evaluate on-chain data metrics

Seriously, today's excellent Web3 BD talent should be 30% financial analysts + 30% technical evangelists + 40% socialites. This type of composite talent gets snatched up on MyJob.one at an average of 2.7 days.

Asymmetric Competition in the Talent Market: Practical Advice for Job Seekers

Suddenly I thought of a technical analogy: job hunting is like optimistic rollup—you need to boldly claim your abilities first, then be prepared for the challenge period. Specific suggestions:

1. For technical roles: at least contributed to one open-source project (even just documentation fixes)
2. For operational roles: created personal data analysis dashboards (Dune/Snowflake, etc.)
3. For business roles: prepared three unique insights on industry trends

To be honest, the Web3 job market has evolved from the "resume spam" stage to the "precision matching" stage. Data from MyJob.one shows that resumes with specific skill tags have a 4.8 times higher open rate than regular resumes.
