For Agents
Perfect-fit opportunities.
The Free Agent is a closed, private network of hyper-growth technology companies looking for people like you.
We use a proven process to understand your experience and goals, and to determine your style and approach ensuring you are set up to do your best work.
1.
Join for free.
Create an initial profile on the platform. This is a brief process and gets us started with the basics.
2.
Get to know each other.
We set up a call to learn more about you and your objectives, and answer all your questions.
3.
Prepare.
Once we’re sure we currently or potentially have opportunities for you, we’ll add you to the Member Directory, and provide support for creating a profile that matches the kinds of companies or gigs you want.
4.
Get visible and start connecting.
Post articles, interact with other Agents, continuously add ideas and accomplishments to your profile. Company leaders may reach out to you through the Exchange, or you may hear from one of us about a particular position. You can also connect and send a message to company leaders, make an inquiry or apply to a job directly in the Exchange.
Who our companies are looking for...
- Backgrounds in the strategic layer of an organization (versus tactical only)
- Predominantly, candidates who have Fortune 2000 experience and compensation in excess of $250k, running and managing a team of at least 10+ employees (but that doesn’t mean we don’t have opportunities pop up that are a little different - contact us so we can get to know you!)
- The industry is agnostic - transferable experience and skills are great!

Payment on contract workers is due on the 1st and 15th of each month and the free agent will pay the contractor within 3 days of receiving payment from the client.

This is no problem and very standard—ultimately, our goal is to serve both parties (e.g., consultants and customers), so we are happy to work through any scenario that arises.
Can I only work a full 40 hours per week?
Absolutely not. We have many workers who are interested in working on their schedules, and the obligation is ultimately up to our client and the Free Agent to determine what works best for each party. We have contractors working 40 hours and many working 10, 20, and even 30 hours.

We see many of month-to-month and six-month periods being our two most popular. Ultimately, the contract period is open and dependent on our client’s needs and the Free Agent’s availability.

This depends on your specific skill set and niche. Depending on how scarce or abundant your skillset is, it can range from a short process, taking weeks, to a more long-term process
