Why register with us

Three reasons pre-sales people stay on our list.

Confidential by default

Your details never leave our desk without your explicit approval on a named company. No CV blasts, no surprise calls from your employer's talent team.

Specialist-only coverage

We work pre-sales exclusively: SE, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, Solutions Consultant and TAM. You won't get pitched a closing role or a support job.

Real salary benchmarking

We'll tell you what your profile actually pays — the national median OTE sits at $205k, and the top decile clears $293k.

Most pre-sales people are underpaid because they negotiate against an advertised number rather than an accepted one. Before you talk to anyone — us included — read the sales engineer salary guide and run your level and city through the salary calculator. Then tell us your target and we'll be straight with you about whether the market supports it.

We only bring you roles that match your level and stack. If your experience is a cybersecurity PoC motion, you won't be sent a hardware bench-test role because a client asked us to fill a seat.
