How Midas hired a Security Engineer from a shortlist of 6 with Squad
6 profiles. Not 60.
The Problem
Midas is a real-world asset protocol issuing tokenized yield products on-chain. When your product is other people’s money, a security engineering hire is one you can’t afford to get wrong.
The problem with hiring security talent in crypto is noise. Plenty of engineers list security experience. Very few have audited or hardened production protocols with real value at stake. Sorting one from the other burns weeks of Founder time.
What We Did
On 1 intake call, Midas defined what real protocol security work looks like and at what seniority. The search ran on Squad from there. Recruiters who place security roles in crypto sourced the pool, and Squad’s AI scored candidates against that bar. 6 made the cut. From that shortlist of 6, 2 candidates reached the final round and Jacobo was hired as Security Engineer.
The Outcome
9 weeks after the hire, Midas opened a senior search with Squad. Today they run 2 active searches on the platform, with first interviews landing within 24 hours of each role opening.

“Squad is a game-changer for hiring. Incredible speed and unmatched quality. They are at the forefront of revolutionizing the future of recruiting, and will be indispensable for any company that wants to scale effectively. There’s a reason every search we open now goes straight to them.”
