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.
Recruiters talk in platitudes. We talk in numbers and contracts.
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were using expensive data tools to control what engineers got paid, while candidates were negotiating alone with outdated advice.
Our core operating framework rests on three pillars: absolute contract transparency, data-backed salary intelligence, and aggressive candidate advocacy. 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 over 400+ senior technical professionals at top tech companies, from small, high-growth startups to large enterprises like Google, IBM, and Capital One. By collecting direct negotiation data from our extensive placement network, we are able to see exactly where corporate salary bands are shifting, giving our represented talent a massive information advantage during the job offer stage.
Our background in engineering and finance taught us one thing: information wins. We built Leon to put that information on the side of the people doing the actual work.
We don't represent everyone. We represent the professionals who understand that their career is a business, and that business deserves proper representation.
How We Put Data To Work.
Specialized career management strategies built for high-leverage technical experts.
Direct Pitching
We skip internal HR. Our agents pitch your profile directly to the engineers and leaders who make the actual hiring decisions.
Equity Audits
We review the equity portion of any offer you receive so you understand what your shares are actually worth and when you can access them.
IP Protection
We review your employment contracts before you sign. We make sure anything you build outside of work stays legally yours.
Benchmarking
Access the real-world compensation numbers from our network of 400+ active placements. Know where the ceiling actually is.
Private Search
We put you in front of companies without alerting your current employer. Your name is only shared when both sides are ready to move forward.
Offer Negotiation
We play bad cop during the most awkward phase of the hire. We push for the maximum budget while you keep the technical relationship clean.
