Your Guide to Fair Representation & Tech Careers
We represent technical professionals and help companies hire talent. We help engineers get what they're worth and help businesses find the right people.
The System Was Built to Underpay You.
Companies use expensive compensation intelligence tools to anchor offers at the lowest defensible number. The average engineer negotiates alone, with incomplete data, against a team of professionals whose job is to close you for less.
The Imbalance Is Real
HR teams have real-time salary data, budget floors, and negotiation training. You have a job posting and a gut feeling. That's not a fair fight.
We Level the Field
We give you the same market intelligence companies use , and then we step into the negotiation on your behalf. You stay focused on the technical work. We handle the money.
Free for the Engineer
Our services cost you nothing. We charge the company a placement fee when the hire closes. Your interests and ours are completely aligned.
What It Feels Like to Have an Agent.
Most engineers go through a job search feeling isolated , reading between the lines, guessing at timelines, and dreading the salary conversation. Representation changes that entirely.
01
You Stop Guessing
We show you what roles at your level actually pay , base, equity, bonus , sourced from 400+ real placements. You walk into every conversation knowing the real ceiling.
02
You Stop Begging for Interviews
We pitch you directly to CTOs and engineering VPs , before the role is posted. You get introductions, not application queue silence.
03
You Stop Leaving Money on the Table
We handle the negotiation for you. You stay likable. We push for the max. Then we review the contract so you keep what's yours.
What Represented Engineers Say.
“
HR tried to lock me down on base salary because of my previous role’s title. Leon’s team stepped in, introduced competitor data points, and secured a package 40% higher than their initial verbal offer.
— STAFF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS ENGINEER
“
I wanted to leave my role quietly. Leon coordinated intros with select VPs of Engineering without putting my resume in any database. The transition was smooth, fast, and completely private.
— DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING
“
Three companies I had never applied to directly reached out to me within a week. I ended up with two competing offers and negotiated my base up by $35k. I didn’t even know that was possible without a competing offer letter.
