Careers at Best Crypto Presales

Crypto journalism careers at Best Crypto Presales center on one requirement above all others: the ability to research a project thoroughly and write about it in plain, accurate language. We cover a market that moves fast and is full of promotional noise, so the people who do well here are the ones who slow down, check sources, and are comfortable saying a project has real problems when it does. This page explains who we look for, what the work involves, and how our hiring process runs.

What Working Here Actually Involves

Most roles fall into research, writing, or a combination of both. On a typical week, a writer or analyst on our team might be reading a project's smart contract audit, checking a token allocation table against what the whitepaper claims, sitting in on a project AMA, or following up on a regulatory development that could affect presale investors. The output is usually an article, a news update, or a review, but the work behind it looks more like research than content production.

We do not assign topics based on which project pays the most attention to marketing. Coverage decisions are based on what is relevant to readers trying to make informed decisions, which means a well-funded project with weak tokenomics gets treated the same as a small one: honestly.

Roles We Typically Hire For

• News Writers – Cover daily developments in the presale market, regulation, and macro events that affect crypto pricing, with a focus on speed without sacrificing accuracy.
• Research Analysts – Dig into tokenomics, audit reports, and team backgrounds to support our review methodology, often producing the underlying research that news and review writers build on.
• Long-Form Guide Writers – Produce educational content that explains concepts like vesting schedules, liquidity locks, or how to evaluate a presale, aimed at readers who are new to the space.
• Editors – Review submitted drafts for accuracy, tone, and adherence to our editorial policy before anything is published.

Openings are posted as they become available rather than on a fixed schedule, so the list of active roles can be short or empty depending on our current staffing needs.

What We Look For in a Candidate

Formal crypto experience helps, but it is not the only path in. We have hired people who came from traditional financial journalism, from software development, and from research backgrounds outside of media entirely. What matters more than a specific resume line is whether a candidate can demonstrate three things:

1. Research discipline. Can you trace a claim back to a primary source, such as a contract address, an audit report, or a regulatory filing, rather than repeating what another outlet already published?
2. Clear writing. Can you explain a technical concept, like a token unlock schedule, to someone with no background in crypto without oversimplifying it into something misleading?
3. Comfort with uncertainty. Presale projects are inherently unproven. Good coverage acknowledges what is unknown instead of filling gaps with confident-sounding guesses.

We ask most candidates to complete a short paid writing or research sample as part of the process, because it tells us more than a resume does about how someone actually approaches a topic.

How the Hiring Process Works

1. Application review. We read writing samples first, before looking closely at formal credentials.
2. Short paid trial task. Candidates who pass the initial review complete a small, compensated research or writing assignment similar to real work on the team.
3. Interview. A conversation about the trial task, how the candidate approaches sourcing and fact-checking, and what interests them about covering this market.
4. Decision and onboarding. Candidates who move forward are onboarded with access to our style guide, editorial policy, and internal research tools.

Timelines vary depending on the role and how many applications we are reviewing, but we try to respond to every applicant rather than leaving submissions unanswered.

Working Arrangement

Most positions on our team are remote and structured around deliverables rather than fixed hours, since our contributors are often covering time-sensitive news across different time zones. Some roles are freelance or per-piece, while others are part-time or full-time depending on current needs. Specific compensation and schedule details are shared during the interview process rather than published generally, since they vary by role and experience level.

A Note on What We Do Not Reward

We do not pay bonuses tied to positive coverage of any project, and we do not accept compensation from projects in exchange for favorable reviews from our editorial staff. Anyone joining the team should expect that our commercial relationships, covered in our advertising and editorial policies, are kept separate from what gets written and how it gets scored. If that separation matters to you as a writer or researcher, it should, because it is the reason our reviews are worth reading in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior crypto experience to apply?

No, but you need to show you can research unfamiliar technical topics quickly and accurately. Strong general research or financial writing experience is often enough combined with genuine interest in the space.

Are roles remote?

Yes, our team works remotely and asynchronously in most cases, with occasional live coordination around breaking news or major launches.

How do I apply if there is no open listing right now?

You are welcome to send a writing sample and a short note about your background for future consideration, even when no specific role is posted.

What does the paid trial task involve?

It is a short research or writing assignment similar to real work on the team, such as summarizing a tokenomics structure or drafting a short news update, and it is compensated regardless of whether the candidate is ultimately hired.

Do you hire freelance or contract writers, or only full-time staff?

Both. Some contributors work on a per-piece or freelance basis while others hold part-time or full-time roles, depending on current needs and the specific position.

What happens if I don't have a journalism background?

A journalism background is not required. We have hired people from finance, software development, and research fields outside media, since research discipline and clear writing matter more than a specific job title.

How long does the hiring process typically take?

Timelines vary with the role and current application volume, but the process generally moves from application review to a trial task to an interview within a few weeks, and we aim to respond to every applicant.
