Data-Driven Talent Representation.
Most agencies work for the company. We work for the talent and charge the company for access to that talent. We give engineers the information they need to get paid what they are worth.
Born from Engineering, not HR.
We didn't start Leon because we loved "people business." We started it because we saw a clear imbalance in the job market. Companies were using expensive data tools to control what engineers got paid, while candidates were negotiating alone with outdated advice.
We focus on three things that actually matter: transparent contracts, real salary data, and advocating hard for you. When you partner with us, we audit your historical offers, map out equity growth curves based on current market valuations, and represent you directly with hiring teams. We act as your private career agent so you can focus entirely on writing great code and leading product engineering.
Over the past several years, we have placed 400+ senior technical professionals at top tech companies, from small, high-growth startups to large enterprises. By tracking negotiation data from these placements, we give you a real advantage when it's time to talk numbers.

Candidate-First
What 400 Placements Taught Us
After placing 400+ senior engineers, the same pattern emerged every time: the engineers who got the best outcomes weren't always the most technically impressive. They were the ones with the best information and someone in their corner.
Information is the Leverage
In every negotiation we've run, the single biggest variable wasn't seniority or credentials. It was knowing the actual budget ceiling. That's why we publish our compensation data and share it with every engineer we work with before they talk numbers.
Relationships Beat Job Boards
More than 60% of the roles our engineers have landed were never publicly posted. The best opportunities move through trust networks, not application queues. Building and maintaining those networks is the core of what we do for companies.
The Fine Print Matters More Than the Headline Number
We've seen engineers accept offers that looked great on paper but came with IP clauses that claimed ownership of every personal project they'd ever build. A great offer with a bad contract is just a well-packaged trap. We read the trap.
Our Leadership
Our team has spent years working directly inside the hiring pipelines of top tech companies. We know exactly what hiring managers are looking for, and how to get you the best offer.
