Private talent representation & executive search.
We manage high-stakes career transitions for senior engineers and execute confidential technical searches for engineering leadership.
Private Representation
Top athletes have agents. Elite engineers shouldn't negotiate alone. We act as your dedicated advisory team to pitch your track record directly to decision-makers, negotiate top-of-band packages, and protect your side-project IP. Zero candidate fees, zero public job board exposure.
Direct-to-CTO Introductions
We skip standard ATS queues and recruiter databases entirely. We pitch your background directly to CTOs and VPs of Engineering at high-growth labs, trading firms, and tier-1 tech companies. Most introductions happen before headcount is ever published.
Compensation & Leverage Strategy
We audit your compensation package across base salary, 4-year equity schedules, and discretionary sign-on pools. We handle the direct negotiation so you maintain an uncompromised relationship with your future team.
Contract & Side-Project Defense
We audit employment agreements to ensure the company does not claim ownership over side projects or open-source contributions. We review non-compete enforceability, clawback buffers, and acceleration triggers.
Off-Market Technical Talent
Access senior, staff, and principal engineers who work with us on an exclusive representation basis. These candidates are invisible to LinkedIn Recruiter and standard inbound application pipelines.
Compensation Calibration
Access verified market data across Radford and peer comp bands. Structure competitive offers that close tier-1 candidates without wasting equity or triggering internal band exceptions.
Confidential Search
Execute critical technical leadership hires without signaling your product roadmap to competitors. We run quiet, discreet searches for VP, Director, and Principal roles under strict NDA.
Executive Technical Search
Hire senior passive technical talent who do not browse job boards. We coordinate high-leverage engineering placements with speed, precision, and complete confidentiality.
