When The House of Obsidian wanted to raise the bar and bring quality talent for Web3, we first thought of Jayce “Gosu” Azua from WaifuTV.
With nearly a decade of experience in multiple startups and big-tech companies, we thought it was an obvious decision to bring him on board to build and vet talent for Developers by Obsidian! He is currently building value at Amazon Prime Video and is passionate about engineering a rug-free Web3.
Web3 Talent by Obsidian leverages the expertise of a 'Big Tech' engineer with an extensive background in software engineering and building in Web3 in order to showcase curated talent so that you can achieve your vision.
Candidates are pooled according to their professional experience: ui/ux, front-end, back-end, full stack, smart contract dev
Candidates' work style and approach are assessed with a specialized online testing process that generally requires one to two hours to complete.
Qualifying candidates move onto the interview phase where their technical skills, cognitive abilities, and behavior are analyzed.
The data from each candidate's results in steps 1-3 is compiled to score their overall performance
The hiring committee then reviews qualifying candidates' performance and score. The committee includes an additional individual who was not present in earlier vetting phases to provide a non-biased opinion of the information presented. Together, the hiring committee will decide whether or not each candidate will move forward.
Once a Web3 talent has passed our vetting process, we send them the necessary Web3 Talent by Obsidian contract that each individual is required to sign.
It should also be noted that we move to the following step only after all the previous steps have been completed and the contract has been signed.

A Web3 Talent by Obsidian team member then ensures that there are no red flags that came up during a PEP & Sanctions list checks along with other due diligence processes to ensure that we are working with the correct individuals.
A recorded video meeting is then conducted with each developer in which a variety of topics are discussed including, but not limited to
At this point in time, each individual is also required to verify the wallet address they will be using for the program.
