Testimonials

The best web3 projects trust us

I was on a tight deadline for a project so I reached out to Thirdwork to help find a designer fast. They took care of the entire vetting and hiring process so that I could focus on the work, plus the designer was so good I’ve now hired them for multiple different projects.

Working with Thirdwork feels like having your own hiring spec ops team - they fit seamlessly into our process & consistently produce thoughtful, talented candidates with outstanding experience in the blockchain industry. As an early start up with a million things going on, I really appreciated the seamless nature of the engagement, thirdwork is point & shoot, give them a summary of who you’re looking for, and they’ll do the rest.
