In person is the best place to hire a team. Arrange meetings and conduct interviews and all business in a group to stay on the same page. Try organizing a small meet up for like minded people and I'm sure you'll find quality talent.
I would love to do this but the area has a very weak crypto community. I would have to teach everyone about crypto in a third language and i dont think that is appropriate for the timeline haha.
So if anything i will just organize it for the future in another city to get best results .
Thanks for the insight!
