For Professionals
We Act as Your Agent.
Most professionals negotiate alone against HR teams who know exactly what the budget is. We close that gap by representing you directly.
The Outreach Agent
We pitch to hiring managers and decision makers directly. You stay anonymous until both sides have confirmed interest.
Legal Advisory
We review IP clauses and flag harmful non-competes. Your side-projects stay yours.
Hard Negotiation
We know what the company paid the last hire. We play bad cop so you keep the bridge clean.
Private Search
We manage your transition without alerting your current employer or the market.
For Companies
Smarter Hiring.
The best candidates aren't on job boards. We connect you directly to professionals who aren't actively looking but will move for the right opportunity.
Lower Hiring Risk
We represent the talent we send. We've vetted their technical ability and career goals before they ever see your company's name.
Salary Intelligence
Real-time salary and equity data so you don't lose a hire to a competitor by $10k or 0.1% equity.
Direct Intros
Skip recruiters who don't understand the stack. We are technical professionals representing technical professionals.
Confidential Hiring
Need to replace a senior person or open a new team without a public announcement? We run the search without any public job postings.
Our Mandate
A Modern Talent Representation Philosophy
Leon Consulting was founded on a simple realization: the traditional recruitment model is structurally set up to benefit companies at the expense of candidates. When an agency is paid a percentage fee by the employer, their loyalty lies with the corporate client - not the professional being hired. We represent technical professionals directly, acting as a personal talent agency to negotiate hard, secure IP rights, and ensure absolute market fairness.
Absolute Transparency
Most technical professionals go into offer negotiations blind, operating with outdated internet rumors. We provide direct access to verified placement data, real salary caps, and historical equity trends so you know your exact worth before signing.
Clean Negotiations
We act as your professional buffer. By letting our experienced talent agents play "bad cop" during salary, signing bonus, and equity discussions, you keep your relationship with your future engineering team clean, positive, and collaborative.
IP and Contract Safety
A great compensation package is worthless if you sign away your rights. Our legal advisory team reviews your employment contracts to strip out predatory non-compete terms and ensure your private side-projects stay legally yours.
