Applying and accounts

Is Jobs Web3 free for candidates?

Yes. Browsing, applying, saving jobs and job alerts are free. Premium costs $9.99 a month or $79 a year; the candidate plans compare it with the free account.

Do I need an account to apply?

To browse, no: search, filters and full descriptions are public.

To apply, yes. You sign in or create a free account, then complete your profile: your name, the role you want, your country, how you want to work (remote, hybrid or on-site) and a PDF CV up to 5 MB. Every application needs it, including jobs that send you to the company's own site. Company accounts cannot apply to jobs.

What happens when I press Apply?

It depends on the job.

For most jobs, Apply sends you to the company's own page or application system to finish there. Jobs posted directly on Jobs Web3 either take your application here (profile, optional message, CV as a PDF up to 5 MB) or send you to the company's site after sharing your profile. Applications made through Jobs Web3 are listed under Applications in your account.

Why can't I apply to a job?

The usual reasons:

  • Your profile is not finished. Every application needs your name, target role, country, work arrangement and a PDF CV.
  • The job is in Early Access: for its first 12 hours only Premium members and invited candidates can apply.
  • The company asks for skills, languages or a location your profile does not list. Add them if they are true.
  • You are signed in with a company account, which cannot apply.

An invitation from the company skips the skill, language and location checks, but not the profile step. The skills page explains how these checks work.

Why is a role I know about missing?

The board does not list every role of every company, so a missing role is not always a closed one. The usual reasons:

  • It is no longer open: jobs leave the board, usually within hours, once the company closes them on its own careers site.
  • It is very new and can take a few hours to appear.
  • A filter hides it. Clear the filters, then search the job title or the company name.
  • The company is not on the board, or fills the role without posting it publicly.

To check, open the company's page under Web3 companies, which lists the roles open there now, and compare it with the company's own site. If the role is open on that site, apply there.

How do job alerts work?

Open Job alerts and build an alert from the same filters as the job search: keywords, work mode, location, skills, languages, seniority and pay. Each alert sends at most one email a day, when new matching jobs are listed, with the new jobs and a link to the rest if there are many. You can keep up to 2 alerts, pause or delete any of them, and manage them from every alert email.

Premium and skills

How do skills work on Jobs Web3?

Jobs carry skill tags, such as Solidity or Rust. On a job a company posts on Jobs Web3, the company picks them and can require some: only candidates whose profile lists them can apply. On other jobs the tags are read from the title and, for engineering and security roles, from the description.

Your profile lists the skills you choose, and you can filter the board by skill. Skills are filters, not a test: Jobs Web3 does not check or endorse them. The skills page explains how matching works.

What is Early Access?

Early Access is an option a company can add to a job it posts on Jobs Web3. For the first 12 hours only Premium members and candidates the company invited can apply; then everyone can. The job is visible to all the whole time, with an Early Access badge that shows the hours left.

What does Premium include?

Premium costs $9.99 a month or $79 a year. It includes Early Access, a place in Talent Search, an identity-verified badge, company reviews (read and write), the list of who viewed your profile, and eligibility for Featured Member of the Day. The candidate plans compare it with the free account.

Can companies find my profile?

Only if you are Premium, switch on "Employers can find me in Talent Search" (it is off by default) and have a complete profile. Companies on the Scale and Platinum plans then see your name, headline, location, years of experience, the kinds of work you want, skills, languages and Verified badge, never your email or CV.

They contact you only through an invitation on Jobs Web3, and a CV reaches a company only if you apply. The Talent Search page lists what companies see and what each plan includes.

What is Featured Member of the Day?

Each day one Premium member is picked at random among those with a public profile that is at least 80% complete and Talent Search on, who were not featured in the last 90 days. The member's name, headline and a link to their public profile are listed on the Featured members page, newest first.

There is no separate switch: turning off your public profile or Talent Search takes you out.

What does the Verified badge mean?

Our team checks the member's identity by hand from a passport, ID card or driver's license. The badge is part of Premium and confirms who the member is, not their skills or experience.

Jobs and salary data

How is salary data calculated?

The Web3 salaries pages only use jobs that publish both a minimum and a maximum, converted to US dollars a year. Jobs without a range stay on the board and are left out of the numbers. Every figure shows how many jobs it comes from, and a role needs at least 5 published ranges for a breakdown. Pay can also include tokens or equity that the numbers do not cover.

How do I find remote jobs?

Press Remote above the job list, or open the remote jobs page. Both show the jobs whose work mode is remote. A job that states no work mode is left out.

Then read each job's location before you apply. A remote job often names the country or region it is open to, such as the USA or Europe. A location such as Worldwide names no limit, though the description can still add one, like a time zone or the right to work in a country.

To narrow the list, open the Location filter. Remote anywhere shows jobs open from any country. Your country shows jobs that name it, plus remote jobs open to its region, and you can pick both. Save the search as a job alert to get new remote jobs by email, and read the guide on how to find a remote Web3 job for which roles are most often remote.

How do I find jobs in a city or country?

Open the Location filter on the job search and choose a country or a region such as Europe. The list shows the jobs in that country, plus remote jobs open to its region.

For a city, Web3 cities ranks the cities with the most on-site and hybrid jobs and links each one's own page, and the same page lists the regions. Remote jobs have their own filter: choose Remote anywhere, or open the remote jobs page.

How do I know if a job listing is legitimate?

Jobs Web3 does not check every employer, so these checks are yours. Open the company's own website and look for a real product and a named team. Never pay for training or equipment, run code you do not recognize, approve a wallet transaction for an employer or share your seed phrase.

The guide on crypto job scams shows the patterns, from fake recruiters to coding tests that carry malware.

For companies

How much does it cost to post a job?

Posting a job costs $129 for 30 days and includes a company page and an applications dashboard. Annual plans from $360 a year add more jobs, featured days, team seats and, on Scale and Platinum, Talent Search; the pricing page compares them.

Learning about Web3

Where can I learn what Web3 is, or how to get a job in it?

What is Web3? defines it in plain words and explains what it means for a job search. Learn Web3 lists resources by topic, level and format. The guide how to get a Web3 job covers skills, experience and pay, and skills needed for Web3 jobs shows what current listings ask for.
