Digital Asset compliance hiring has entered a new phase, more competitive, and more global, than traditional finance ever anticipated. In this special episode of the Compliance Champions podcast series, Delphine is joined by Jena Dropela, VP of People & Culture at Solidus Labs, who breaks down the hiring trends behind the Digital Asset Compliance Talent and Salary Guide.

Drawing on firsthand hiring experience and exclusive conversations with compliance leaders across the US, Europe, and APAC, Jena breaks down what’s changing in the market, including:

• A tight networked talent pool where reputations travel fast
• Regional hiring constraints and compensation pressure, driven by urgency, global movement, and limited benchmark
• The end of the “back office”, as compliance leaders become growth enablers 
• Retention as a competitive advantage, fueled by culture and growth, not titles alone

The conversation also offers practical insights for both sides of the employment market, how companies balance training versus experience, and how candidates stand out without AI-manipulating interviews. As application volume explodes, one insight cuts through the noise: existing offline is more important than ever.
