About Prediction Talent
Prediction Talent connects companies building prediction markets, information markets and forecasting platforms with the traders, quants, engineers, researchers and operators who understand how these markets work.
Founded by Michael Shlayen, founder of Blockchain Headhunter, the firm builds on more than two decades in specialist search and 400+ placements across crypto, trading and frontier technology.
Why prediction markets
Prediction markets turn information into prices. By combining finance, forecasting, incentives and collective intelligence, they create real-time probabilities around future events.
What started as a niche experiment is becoming a serious ecosystem across regulated event contracts, crypto-native markets, forecasting platforms and institutional decision tools. Prediction Talent exists because this is not a normal recruiting market. The best candidates are rare, highly specialized and often invisible to generalist recruiters.
Prediction Talent was created specifically to support this ecosystem by connecting the people building the future with the organizations shaping it.
As the industry grows, demand is increasing for exceptional talent across multiple disciplines:
The Founder
Michael Shlayen has spent more than two decades helping companies hire across emerging technology, crypto, blockchain, trading and frontier markets.
As founder of Blockchain Headhunter, he has completed 400+ placements globally, building relationships with founders, investors, engineers, traders, researchers and operators across high-growth technology ecosystems.
Prediction Talent applies that specialist network and search discipline to prediction markets: a category where hiring requires context, credibility and direct access to people who are rarely active job seekers.
What We Believe
They sit at the intersection of finance, forecasting, information and incentives. As the category grows, the quality of talent will shape which companies win.
The best prediction market traders, quants, engineers and forecasting researchers are not easily found through job boards or generic recruitment agencies.
Frontier industries are built through trust. The strongest hires often come from long-term networks, confidential conversations and direct access to exceptional people.
