Working Process

The Representation Protocol.

How our advisory team manages your career move from initial calibration to final contract signature.

01

Phase 1: Compensation Calibration

We audit your current level and walk-away numbers against live verified peer comp data, identifying your realistic P75/P90 ceiling before any outreach begins.

02

Phase 2: Off-Market Executive Outreach

We craft a private talent brief and pitch your background directly to engineering leaders and founders over Signal, unlocking unlisted headcount without a public footprint.

03

Phase 3: Multi-Offer Auction Dynamics

When offers materialize, we orchestrate competing deadlines to create natural bidding pressure, pushing base salaries, sign-on bonuses, and equity grants to the true band maximum.

04

Phase 4: Contract Audit & Final Execution

We execute a legal review of the employment agreement, verifying 4-year vesting mechanics, acceleration triggers, post-termination exercise windows, and clean IP carve-outs.

Candidate Outcomes

What Our Candidates are Saying

Hear directly from represented engineers about their negotiation outcomes and career transitions.

"I almost accepted the initial $390k because the recruiter insisted the band was hard-capped for L6. My agent took over the email thread, pushed back with verified competitor data, and closed the gap with another $130k in RSUs. Best part? I never had to have that awkward money conversation myself."

Jordan Walk Staff Distributed Systems Eng • Placed at AI Firm (+$130k Lift)

"I was about to get trapped by an exploding 72-hour deadline from one company while still in late-stage loops with another. They stepped in, managed the recruiter communications, aligned both offers to land in the exact same 48-hour window, and secured a $60k sign-on bonus to bridge the difference."

Elena Rostova Principal Machine Learning Eng • Placed at Series B Lab ($640k Total)

"When you're managing a 40-person org at a major tech firm, you can't have your resume floating around Greenhouse or recruiter LinkedIn feeds. They brokered three private, off-market conversations directly with CTOs over Signal and Zoom. Zero public trail, signed in three weeks."
