Pool perk
Offer negotiation, on our dime.
When a roles.cc pool member gets an offer, we workshop the counter with them. Our incentives line up: a bigger offer means a bigger placement fee for us. Most agencies pocket the difference. We put it on the candidate’s side of the table.
Play 1
Anchor with the real number
We tell you what comparable hires at the same level + city are getting in this market right now. Verifiable, with sample sizes, not anecdotes.
Play 2
Counter that won't break the offer
We workshop your counter on real numbers. Where to push (equity refresh, sign-on, level), where to leave it alone, where to walk away.
Play 3
Saying no to a soft no
How to push back on the first counter the founder gives without ending the conversation. Most candidates take the first revised number; you don't have to.
Play 4
Walk-away language
The exact email template that keeps you in the founder's good graces if the gap is too wide. You'll talk to them again in 18 months.
The catch
This perk is for people we placed.
Negotiation help is reserved for engineers we placed into their roles.
