Our mission is to empower people to reach the highest levels of their career potential.

Free Agency is a game-changer for top and emerging talent in tech, providing professionals with Hollywood-style representation for the first time ever. Put simply, we manage “the business end” of our clients' careers, helping them find, win, and succeed at top-of-market roles.

cumulative percent change in real annual wages, by wage group, 1979-2019

Why it matters

Productivity (in other words, output of goods and services) has grown 61.8% since 1979, but wages have only grown 17.5% in the same span. Further, the wage growth that has occurred is mostly for those in the top 1% (pictured, right). These are individuals making over $730,000 annually. We think it's time for a change.

The new careerOS

Free Agency is building the new Career Operating System (CareerOS), a set of tools and services to supercharge the future of work for talent.

Reimagine job search

Companies put massive intention behind how they hire talent, and we think talent should have an equivalent or better set of tools behind how they search for work.

Revolutionize careers

People massively underinvest in their career development. We think individuals should invest like celebrities do: hire trainers and coaches to improve constantly.

Build the tools

Companies have applicant tracking systems, compensation databases, and performance review tools. Shouldn’t you have access to similar technology and insights?

possibilites

Lighting up the possibilities

We trust doctors with our health, attorneys with our legal matters, and mechanics with our cars. We know that they have a scope of understanding, process, and knowledge that give them possibilities we simply can't access. Free Agency is your career advocate, lighting up the possibilities that you wouldn't likely see, engage, or win on your own.
