About Worldcoin

Founded by Sam Altman, Worldcoin is a cutting-edge technology company operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain.

With ambitious plans and groundbreaking projects in development, Worldcoin set out to establish a strong presence in Berlin. Central to this expansion was the need to build a high-calibre engineering team capable of driving innovation in a fast-moving and highly technical environment.

Roles Placed

The Challenge

As Worldcoin expanded into Germany, the business needed to rapidly build an elite engineering team from the ground up.

This required access to highly specialised talent across multiple disciplines, including AI, embedded engineering, Rust development, and blockchain technology. The competitive nature of these skillsets, combined with the pace of growth, made attracting and securing top-tier candidates particularly challenging.

Worldcoin needed a partner that could:

Integrate seamlessly with internal teams
Understand highly technical hiring requirements
Access niche and hard-to-reach talent pools
Deliver quickly without compromising on quality

The goal was not just to hire, but to build a foundational team that could support long-term innovation.

Anthony was thrown one of our toughest roles and navigated it like a champ. He quickly calibrated the profile and found us one of the strongest candidates on the market. He’s highly communicative and fast-paced. 10/10 would work with him again.

The Partnership

DeepRec.ai embedded directly into Worldcoin’s business, working closely with HR and engineering leadership teams.

By becoming an active participant in internal hiring processes, including key meetings and decision-making forums, the team developed a deep understanding of both the technical requirements and the company’s culture.

A structured, EU-compliant interview framework was introduced to accurately assess technical capabilities.

Key senior hires were secured, including a Head of Security and several Principal Engineers. The average time-to-hire was reduced from four months to just five weeks, and Worldcoin saw a 150% increase in monthly tech hires.
