The Skills Gap in Blockchain Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Blockchain technology has moved far beyond cryptocurrency headlines. Across finance, supply chains, cybersecurity, gaming, digital identity, healthcare, and public infrastructure, distributed ledger technology is being explored, tested and deployed at scale. Yet despite growing adoption, blockchain employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: a severe shortage of job-ready talent. Graduates emerge with theoretical knowledge, computer science fundamentals, or an interest in decentralisation—but struggle to meet the practical demands of blockchain roles. Vacancies remain open. Startups compete aggressively for experienced hires. Employers spend months searching for candidates who can contribute from day one. The issue is not intelligence. It is not motivation. It is not even demand. The problem is a widening skills gap between blockchain education and real blockchain jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what UK employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in blockchain.

How to Write a Blockchain Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Blockchain hiring has matured significantly in recent years. What began as a niche, crypto-heavy space has evolved into a broad ecosystem spanning fintech, Web3, decentralised infrastructure, digital identity, supply chains, gaming and enterprise platforms. Yet many blockchain employers face the same challenge: job adverts that attract the wrong candidates. Some roles are overwhelmed with speculative applicants chasing hype. Others fail to attract experienced engineers, protocol specialists or security-focused professionals who quietly dismiss adverts that feel vague or exaggerated. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is a lack of clarity in the job advert. Blockchain professionals are technically rigorous, sceptical of buzzwords and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immaturity, risk and lack of direction. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a blockchain job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a trustworthy employer in the blockchain ecosystem.
