Louis Stollard-Taylor
/ Technical Recruiter

I place exceptional engineers, product leaders, and executives at Blockchain, Crypto, and Web3 companies — and I mentor the next generation of technical recruiters on how to do the same.

about

I'm a technical recruiter at Hirechain, specialising exclusively in Blockchain, Crypto and Web3. I work in this space because it's where my expertise and passion genuinely lie — not just where the market happens to be hot.

Over my career I've placed Software Engineers through to Staff Engineers, Heads and VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Product Managers, and General Counsels — working primarily with early-stage tech and Web3 startups that need to move fast and hire right.
