I'm going to chime in here also. I sent an email quite a while ago and heard absolutely nothing. Considering I have basically an unbelievable amount of experience related to this I was surprised that I didn't even get a followup or inquiry.

Hiring is hard, this could be just the result of poor hiring practices, or it could be something else entirely. Either way, it gives a very poor impression, and considering how small the pool of talent in HFT and Smart Contracts is that isn't something a new company can afford to do.

This is the result of reaching the top of Who's Hiring twice, we received almost 2k emails when we expected 50-100. I'm the only one screening CV's with 1-2 hours/day available for this task.

If anyone is expecting a Google structure behind this, then no. We are 3 normal guys starting a new project from scratch, and said it in the job posts. Because of the growing interest in crypto, we had massive unexpected success with our job posts and we are a bit overloaded.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused. We won't post again until we have a recruitment team in place.

I'd suggest then to put perhaps even a small team to help with the recruitment process? Maybe 2-3 person who can review and screen around 100 CVs per day? Tedious task, but doable.
